I went to my very first gun show this past summer. I always wanted to own a gun, I grew up around them and I though why not, I’m a responsible law abiding citizen; Is this to say that everyone else that make  purchase is not a law abiding citizen? No way. You still need to go pass a background check, before a seller can sell you a firearm.  So, I made my first purchase this summer, I bought a Hi Point 9mm for home defense and range shooting.

I’ll get straight to the point, if you ever thought about buying a firearm, for you home or personal protection, educate yourself! Go and talk with a professional gun dealer. I would not buy from a pawn shop, if your a first time buyer. You need to find out the type, size, caliber of firearm that’s good for you, then you will need to learn and practice  gun safety! If, all you want to do, is buy  a gun, and never learn how to hold it, aim it and possibly fire it…Get Something Else! The last thing our society needs, is another temperamental, irresponsible gun owner!

In choosing, talk to someone who know guns and do some reading, packing a firearm is a great responsibility. The more you read, you’ll be much more equipped and knowledgeable in making your decision in making your first purchase.
