The first carry gun?

I just found this site. Looks to be a thriving community for gun folks. I admit I was "iffy" on gun rights not too long ago but I came to my senses!! I just received my SC CWP this week and I'm still looking for a carry gun. Hope to learn a lot from the collective :biggrin:.

Welcome,

The question of the first Carry Gun! Big question. It depends on your life style so much, are you retired, how many children in the house, how much ability do you posses already with hand guns, can you carry every day, job and mode of transport being a huge factor.

The very least to start with, a Kel Tec .380 calibre, pocket carry, if belt carry is no problem, a Glock 19, 9mm.

Move around the Forum, lots of knowledgeable people here.
 

Hello from newbie

Just heard about this site from a friend and decided to join and learn more about my rights/options to carry. I currently live in Maryland so my options are limited, but my friend was able to get non-resident carry permit in Florida, so I might pursue that track in the near future. Thanks for the opportunity and place to explore and learn,

Amazed at the welcome number of SC representation on this site. Noticed today that RI is quickly deciding that the toy soldiers on David Morales's hat, are not threatening anyone with their 1/4 inch 'Guns'. Overwhelming outrage against the 'Political Correctness' travesty being forced on society, is most likely the reason. Keep it up Patriots, they will eventually get 'educated'.

Hello all, Seems to be pretty interesting site for sure. Down here in South West NM about 6 miles from El Paso. Look forward to the information given on this site.

Welcome from the Lowcountry!

You'll get a lot of advice from folks here, and darn near 50% of it will be right! LOL!! The gun that is best for you will be up to you only. It has the "fit" you right. Some want it to look good. I think that "look good" has to do with things that make it easier to point, not only aesthetics.

You'll also hear a LOT about the difference in calibers that you should carry. Well, here's how I view that. You've already made the best decision on that. You made the decision to have a GUN. Any caliber beats not having a caliber at all!!

Finally, in S.C., we have to carry concealed, so choose a gun that you can carry concealed comfortably. Get a good quality holster for the gun....one that makes it feel like you're not wearing one after awhile. ...one that affords you easy, and smooth access to your gun when you draw it out.

All of this is done by going to gun shops and seeing and feeling the size, shape and fit, of guns and holsters. You can choose to buy at a gun shop or from several online dealers with good reputations like BUD' GUN SHOP or IMPACT GUNS. The prices are good too.

Good luck with you research. Don't fail to ask for help anytime.

Hello, I found this site rather late last night (This morning) while looking up information on CCW licensing from Florida, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. I'm still a bit confused about the requirements I have found, but I am also tired of being unprotected when I travel out of state.

A little about me. I'm a gun nut 1st Class, I am an NRA Life Member, Former NRA Pistol and Rifle Safety Instructor, GOA Member, semi-active Local Fish and Game Club member, Gunsmith (Currently personal firearms only) and I'm a Type 3 license holder.

I will be looking around for a while before I ask some pointed questions of anyone who can tell me about those licenses I mentioned, and I hope I can add some perspective from the Wild East. :lol:

Feel free to send me a PM and say hi.
