Situation - someone new to owning a firearm asked me 'what to get'?
Thought I'd ask here if you think I'm on the right track...
My recommendations are as follows:
1. Apply for the CPL/Washington.
2. Get a lockbox/safe/secure storage for a handgun.
3. Join the NRA for one year; get the 'First Freedom' magazine.
4.When issued the CPL ( I explained the 'shall issue' part ), join the Washington Arms Collectors organization.
5.Buy the firearm of choice either at a retail store, or private sale ( recommended ).
6.Buy all the accessories needed, such as hearing protection, ammunition, holster(s), magazines/loaders, etc.
7.Practice much and often.
My recommendations for the firearms were:
1. Pistol - Beretta 92 or 90-two / 9mm
2. Ruger GP-100 4" bbl. , blued or stainless.
Reasons for those two being that both are high-quality guns; ammo is reasonably available and commonly used, with the revolver being the highest recommended because of simplicity and the ability to shoot more than one kind of ammo.
It appears that the gun will remain in the home more than being CCW.
Please give your input. Thanks.
