Getting a gun

[Mattyou]

Every American can and should own at least one gun (unless your a felon). It's a Right we should all take advantage of. Shoot straight and shoot to kill. Dead people dont repeat offend.

The OP, however, meant guns as a self defense mean, because he is afraid of something. That is, imo, the worst starting point for gun ownership. He will only hurt himself.

Yah that's very true. Buying a gun out of fear isn't a good idea, the last thing guns need is to be surrounded by more fear.

A cautious, respectful approach with the intentions of learning something exciting and new would be better.

If chris can handle a HOT he can handle a firearm. Just because he is new at it doesnt mean he is gonna hurt himself. U gotta start some where.

You surely must be joking.

Hot husbandry shows he is a cool headed, level,headed, responsible guy.

He can surely handle a gun in a firing range, without the danger of sprayiong his whole vicinity with bullets, of that I do not doubt.

Facing fellons with a gun is an entirely different ball game.

Bean bags? Shoot to kill. If a situation is serious enough to warrant such force the last thing anyone wants is an intruder still standing with the ability to retaliate.

no, talking about responsibility. if he can handle the responsibility for a HOT he can handle the responsibility for a firearm.

I agree 100% he'll do fine.

being shot didnt hurt. its barely any physical pain up front. it hits you mentally. if you even buy a gun for self defense, be serious with yourself and ask are you really willing to take a life to protect yours or your loved ones. that part i can only imagine and will say it has a lot of psychological impact.


also guns are for bad people.
