Do you realize that maybe the handgun business was causing them to lose money? Large retailers (one of which I am a store manager for) constantly have to weigh cost with return. Especially competing with other shops offering lower prices. Having dead merchandise in prime selling areas causes loss of sales. That doesn't mean they don't support the 2nd amendment. Just that they made a sound business decision to increase sales. But of course you can shop anywhere you'd like. If you are mistreated somewhere going back isn't going to help your cause. Either speak up to the owner or find another shop.

My reciept from Lou's does have a section where the paper asks if I had purchased a gun in the last 30 days. They did also ask me in the shop before completing the paperwork, but they didn't make me sign the paper....for what its worth

The benefits of shooting with both eyes open...
I was just practicing and seems if I use my left eye with both open it works fine. Weird. I don't have to tilt my head down or anything.

Suggestions on first handgun
Yikes God bless your poor soul haha. I would go for a revolver or a shotgun for you. You pull the trigger they go boom. I wouldn't say the better revolvers are any less expensive than semi auto's though. Maybe find a nice Ruger or S&W used.

Is it mandatory to be an NRA member in this club?

Suggestions on first handgun
I wanted to kill the kid there. Took 3 weeks to install an e trigger and I found out that I was missing an internal spring when I got up to skirmish. Ugh. So what pistol did you have in mind to get?

Hope you don't mean godfather airsoft. They royally f'ed up my Paintball gun when I took it there last year. Ill check your stuff out for sure. If you want pm me and ill give you the info for Joe to take his course. Was only like 125 or so PPC seemed to be a real nice club. Liked it there but its far for me. If the club in Bridgewater doesn't pan out I will definatley join PPC

When shooting any long gun I can easily use both eyes especially with optics. Iron sights on a pistol, I can't figure it out. Im cross eye dominant and refuse to use my dominant eye shooting strong side.

I need a good Paintball shop. I live not too far away In hillsborough. Anyway. I just started too. I took a basic pistol course with Joe W at phillipsburg pistol club. It was a great way to get me and my gfs confidence up before owning. We went from a .22 toa 9mm to a .45 our first time. As for buying one, everyone is right. It all comes to what you feel comfortable with in terms of feel, grip, caliber, weight etc. Best home defense weapon imo is a 12g shotgun. Just point and shoot. Close is good enough for you or your wife. I use my pistol purely for recreation

walther p22 thoughts?
Thinking about buying this gun for basic cheap range fun. I really like the look of it but I wanted some feedback on how it performs.

anyone a member of scfgpa?

-
anyone a member of scfgpa?
I only have a pistol so that's ok. I think im going to try it. The only negative I have heard from a guy at my job was some members are kind of stuck up and give new members an attitude. He said someone tried to take a persons gun from them. I dunno about all of that but its close enough to give it a try.

First Firearm!
Yeah. I've gone to shore shot and ppc a few times for instruction and tried out as much as I could. I did like the kimber. Other than that its tough for me to try anything new

I did check those out. Not bad but pretty basic. I was looking at a limber custom II or colt commander.
