Hello,
Not to get to much into the entire back story of my life I just wanted to give you a little bit of information about me to hopefully help you help me. I'm 20 turning 21 in September and I live with my Mom in a growing neighborhood. I've always been interested in guns and gone shooting with my uncle and other family members. Now that I'm about to turn 21 I'm interested in purchasing my first firearm and had a couple of questions.
Firstly, (and I know that this isn't really related with OpenCarry but was hoping to kill two birds with one stone) I was wondering if I could get a bit of guidance for which pistol to go with. I'm quite a fan of Glocks and am pretty sure that's the direction I'm wanting to go but I'm not entirely sure on the model. From what I've read it would probably be best to go with a a 3rd or 4th generation RTF Glock but I'm not entirely sure on the size I should probably. I'm thinking I want a standard size one but one that at the same time wouldn't be to big to still carry. Hoping some of your expertise might help. I was perhaps thinking a G17 or G22.
Secondly, I'm attending college and while the main purpose would be for home protection I would like to keep it around me at all times, however since my world mainly revolves around school at this point I was wondering if it's acceptable to keep a pistol in a locked glove compartment while parked on school property. As I said I've done quite a bit of reading about it ( http://georgiapacking.org/law.php ) along with this site has been quite helpful, however while they state openly carrying it on school property I'm not sure if since it's in my motor vehicle it'd be under different law.
Finally I suppose it's just a question of are there any tips or suggestions you have to add. I was thinking about looking into different groups to join such as the NRA however after reading through a previous thread (granted I haven't quite read everything on it) it seems as though they may not be the right choice. So again, just any general advice or suggestions, tips of where to or not to carry, if you should ask people before carrying them inside somewhere, etc would be appreciated.
I thank you for any comments left and hope it wasn't a tl;dr (to long didn't read ).
