So I just bought my first handgun…
I purchased a Walther’s P99 9mm.
I’m pretty jazzed! 
I can’t wait to shoot it, and I think I might have convinced someone who knows a LOT about guns to do an interview with me that I thought might be very helpful to anyone who is a first time gun buyer.
It will be an interview on what to look for when inspecting your fire arm to make sure you are getting a good purchase and don’t get ripped off.
I figure that would be handy information.
I also now know a bit more about various laws that are involved as well.
For example: I never knew (yes, all you gun fanatics already knew this and none of you gun control fanatics new this) that it is illegal to transfer guns across state lines unless it is to a licensed firearms dealer.
You must then go that local dealer and proceed to get your background checked and all that. Then the compliance with the federal laws can still be enforced. (P.S. this is also true for gun shows — you must still go through the background checks and everything)
This is of course a measure to prevent black market distribution of guns. It is a very logical seeming step. How effective it is, I’m not sure.
Perhaps I can find some FBI statistics that can be helpful in finding that out.
So if you don’t choose to use a gun to protect yourself don’t worry. I’m not pushing that particular style of protecting oneself on anyone.
In fact there are plenty of times where a gun is useless or a hinderance!
And then there are times where one is logical.
But ALL the time, it is a personal decision.
Take care, and I’ll let you know how I like the new gun.
