Going to apply for my CHP tomorrow, and as soon as that tax return comes through, I'm going to purchase MY first handgun. I write it like that, because I have friends that own and CC/OC, but I don't have my own.
I'm going the revolver route, for now at least. I'm sure everyone agrees that
more guns>less guns, but for a first, I'm going revolver.
Because I'm a large guy. (large is an understatement) I have decided on a Ruger GP100. I want to CC/OC whenever possible, depending on the location. I have held several guns, and fired a few, Browning .45, my buddies Sig 228 9mm, some .380's, and found a nice medium frame revo. feels good in my hands. I have concealed a few in my younger (ignorant) days, and I like the feeling of a shoulder rig, and with my size, and the cold Seattle weather (right now) wearing a large coat is fine.
I have several months to find a nice gun for extremely hot summer weather, and when that time comes, I will have plenty saved up and more experience. I would like to get one of those leather vests with the carry pocket. IDK yet.
My buddy who is an ex army ranger suggested I start reading/posting on this site, and I'm happy he did.
