Cdub100 3,384 Posted October 9, 2017 A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. These are the first weapons I have ever bought. It was pretty easy, but then again I've never committed a crime and am a legal citizen so YMMV I picked out two guns a Ruger American 30.06 with a vortex scope and a Beretta Px4 storm .40 The guy at the counter was super helpful all he needed my driver's license and SS#. I also had to fill out a form for a back ground check. Again I'm not an idiot criminal and everything came out ok Then my guns where taken to a check out counter where another person rung me up and double checked the paper work. Then someone else came over and double checked his double check so it was a triple check. I bought some ammo and walked out with my firearms same day. All in all a pretty good experience. It did take some time but nothing too bad. I also didn't realize when you purchase a handgun you have 30 days to register it with your local police Dept. I went straight to the station and dropped off my paper which was also pretty easy. In conclusion buying a firearm in my experience was pretty easy however there seems to be a lot of paperwork involved most of which I didn't have to do.

Baker Boy 1,485 Posted October 9, 2017 Well I hope you are going to get training with your new firearms and practice with them regularly at the range. There is a huge responsibility that comes with owning a firearm and if you are not trained you can be a danger to everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for the sake of argument, how many guns do you think are enough? Like our bloated military, private gun ownership in the US far outstrips the rest of the civilized world.
