Hi all! Shopping for my first firearm. It will most likely be a .22lr pistol. My second will most likely be a 9mm (Glock or Sig). I am looking for a good safe. It needs to be compact and obviously as inpenetrable as possible. As long as it holds 2 handguns that is sufficient. I did some research on the Gun Vault micro and mini and there seems to be pretty mixed review. I also saw some videos that the bio models are inconsistent. Any recommendations out there. preferably in the range of $100 - $200. Thanks!!

I will say that, having children, I could not commit to carrying around the house. Holsters are man made and can fail just as anything else man made. I have absolutely NOTHING against those who choose to carry around their house at all. In my eyes there is just as much chance of the invasion as there is an accident with the kids. Maybe this is statistically incorrect. I am also just shopping for my first gun and with kids in my house I am already nervouse to have the gun there to begin with. I am sure as I become more familiar with my weapons that will go away to some degree. With that said, a holster is absolutely needed if you are competing or training requires it.

Indeed I have Ray. I have two I applied for and received with my FID.

Please forgive my ignorance. I am just getting neck deep into this stuff. I just got mt FID and looking for my first gun which will be a .22lr pistol. I know the Mark III is a great gun from all I have read. I just can't get past the looks. It's just not appealing to me. Even though it's reliable I still want it to appeal to my eyes. I have watched several video on the SR22P and the reviews are very good. The other pieces I'm considering are the M&p 22, sig P225 Classic 22, Sig Mosquito. As a novice can someone explain to me in more detail why all the hub bub over the magazine disconnect and safety? I would think not having a working trigger when the gun is idle would be a pretty good dsafety feature. I apologize for the ignorance. On the OP topic, so far this gun is the front runner for me. I'm going to head to Shore Shot today in the hopes they have it in their rental arsenal

Well congrats to you bro! I just got my FID. I thought I would be denied. I want through some years of depression. My ex was a disaster. Then all in less than 6 months I found out my wife was cheating, I filed for divorce which led to having to file bankruptcy and losing my house, my mom died of cancer and I lost my job. It was a tough time. I consciously chose to see a psych and get on some meds for a while to pull me out. I have since past all that. Off that anti-depressants and living a blessed life with an amazing woman. I was back and forth whether to be truthful. I talk to the lady at PD and she said to be honet. I attached a letter to my app with all these details and the docs info I saw and requested they call. I received a call 2/10 I got my FID. It was a great feeling that the past is truly the past.

Absolutely tell the truth. The lady that handles FID at my PD was adamant about that. I talked to her specifically about that because there was a period I had some low grade depression and saw a psych for meds. I was going back and forth whether or not I should put it down and she told me to put it down. She said if they find any discrepancy they will deny me and I would have committed a crime. So I put down everything and asked they actually contact the doc. I don't know if they did but I just got my FID. I think in your situation, if you want the permits now, the PD is going to do what they want unless they are told by a higher power they can't. So they are breaking the law. On the flipside if your employer holds it against you, that is against the law as well. No one wants to go through a bunch of legal BS but if your rights are as important to you as it is to most of us, YOU FIGHT!

I agree with you, but at this time the process is the process until we get it changed. Being I never had a FID and I am just getting into this hobby, it did make me happy to finally get the approval.

Got a call last friday that my FID and two permits were ready! I am so ecstatic! I picked them up this morning. The process took a bit long but nevertheless It's done! I submitted on 12/3/2011 and it was issued 2/10/2012. Regards, Eddie

Its the sign of the times. People have no money, can't get a job, and then you have the addicts that need their fix and will do anything. Its not going to get any better until this economy gets better.

Exactly!!! We can only hope everyone gets out and kicks these idiots out with their vote. Unfortunately there is nothing to explain. Obama has apologiozed for our actions since day one and will not stop until he is gone.

When I had a bike I had Progressive. I think you can find cheaper but when you need them they are fantastic to work with.

Great information! I appreciate it. I was just thining about when I buy the first gun getting a handgun and long gun on the first purchase and I wasnt clear on the what OGAM covered.

That is actually ridiculous though. I can come out with an arsenal of shotties but they think they're saving lives by limiting the handguns. Brilliant stupidity!

Thanks!

Ok so I can go in buy a hand gun and a long gun, then two weeks later by another long gun?

Is one gun a month for both long and handguns or just handguns?

+1 to that Ray Ray

That would be great. You can use my name lol. When I heard it this week I was ready for a long discussion . Since that didn't happen I'd love to hear it on another episode.

In all honesty, when i started this thread I really thought I would see more opinions leaning towards being out in the open about it. Please do not take that as me saying the members that don't advertise it are closet gun owners, because that is absolutely not what I am saying. However We all want these laws changed so I just figured the majority would be "shouting loud and proud" so to speak. Great discussion though! It does make me wonder if we should be louder about it. Maybe that would help draw more attention and maybe get more folks involved in the cause.

I just simply stated that the poster above made a point. It wasn't about whether or not I will do "stupid ****" or not listen to the voice of reason in my head. Unfortunately there are cops out there that will find any reason to pull you over. My initial post was about your stereotypical anti-gunner acting like an a$$ because he/she doesn't like what you advertise on your vehicle.

Being new to the hobby, I definitely need to develop a solid foundation of knowledge to educate others. That's exactly what I'd like to do. Jimbo brought up a good point as well, about attracting LEOs. Too many of then have hard ons to find someone to pull over. That will make them focus on you even harder as they are driving behind you I think. Its just a shame. Thanks for all the replies!

AGREED!! LOL.

So I am listening to the new GFH right now and Anthony and Sandy briefly talked about closet gun owners and how they hide their passion. Also mentioned was the rare sight of an NRA sticker on gun enthusiasts car. I do kind of understand why people hide it. I am not yet a gun owner. However waiting for my FID I talk about it a lot and I get ridiculed by my family anytime I bring it up. Now I did not grow up in a family that handled guns. My parents are big time republicans but guns were one view I guess they don't go along with. With that said, the lord only knows what whack jobs are out there that will key up your car for having an NRA sticker, or something pro gun related. Is there anyone out there that keeps it low key or gets crap from family and friends?

AWESOME KPD!!! Thank you for the entertainment! It boggles my mind that nothing can be done about the false arrest. After pissing away probably a few thousand on defending yourself you should have the ability to sue the PD successfully for those funds back due to LEO stupidity. Maybe then they will take the education of the law seriously.

Happy B-Day! Wishing you a great year ahead!
