Hi Everybody, As i have explained in another post, i am fairly new to firearms. I have my FID and own a 12 gauge that i use for trap-shooting and home defense. In any event, i have a couple other firearms that i am interested in. Some of them are handguns. I know all about the permit process and how you need to apply for a separate permit for each handgun. That being said, my question isn't really about HOW to purchase a handgun. My question revolves around WHAT applying for a pistol permit is like. My experience with the FID card process wasn't so bad. I went into the police station, explained that I went trap shooting with a co-worker, was interested in purchasing my own shotgun for these purposes, filled out the paperwork, and got fingerprinted. Within a couple of months, i received a call from the police station that let me know I could go in and pick up my card. Oh, there was a slight hickup. I had a couple run-ins when i was underage. I think one was for underage drinking and another was a misdemeanor. He asked me about those while on the phone. I explained that i was 15 years old and have obviously since changed. That was that. Now, I am a little concerned about acquiring a permit for a pistol. First of all, it is obviously extremely aggravating that you need to present yourself to the police station EACH AND EVERY TIME you want to buy another firearm. Some of you guys have, i would assume, over a dozen pistols. I guess I'm rambling at this point so i'll list my questions below! Some of you have dozens of handguns. Do the police ever look at you suspiciously after going in for your second, third, fourth, etc pistol permit? What has your experience been with acquiring a pistol permit versus the regular long gun FID card? If you qualify for an FID, would they be able to reject you for a pistol permit? If you said that your reason for acquiring an FID was for target shooting and hunting, what did you list as your reason for acquiring a pistol permit? Do you feel awkward going in for a pistol permit right after receiving your FID? Thanks in advance for the answers!!!!!!!!!! Best, Michael

Here is a question, if you were only able to take one pistol with you in a bug out situation. What caliber would you bring. 9mm, .357, .40sw, .45acp. What do you think will be the most available to resupply if you should run out of ammunition. I was talking with a guy at the Range last night. He was telling me, how a .40 & .45 are only really american rounds, where as 9mm being a NATO round, is worldwide. Granted, not that I think about hoping on a steamship. Just curious what others may think. I own, a .45, .40, and .357, but do not own a 9mm yet.
