Your first gun story
Let's hear about your first gun. What made you decide to buy one? What did you buy? All that good stuff. I grew up in a somewhat anti-gun home. My parents didn't own any guns, they believed they had their place in this world, just not our house. My mom grew up with a family of hunters and military so she is no stranger to guns. As a child, I was never allowed to own a water gun, cap gun, or play cowboys and Indians unless it was over a friends house. When I was about 13 my neighbor who was a big hunter would sometimes take me out to collier mills to shoot some of his shotguns. I had a lot of fun with him, he taught me all the basics and how to handle guns safely. When I turned 18 I asked my parents if I could buy a gun, they told me no, I have to wait till I was 21 or not living in their house. I respect that, it was their house and their rules. The day I turned 21, I applied for my ID card and a handgun permit. After about 6 months it was ready. Toms River was a nightmare to get your ID card and permits 12 years ago. I went to brick armory and picked up a Glock 23. A few days later I went back and bought a Kel-Tec sub2k in 40. A week later I went back again and bought a M44 nagant and a SAR-1. A month later I went to sports authority and bought a ruger 10/22. Then a Remington 870. At that point, my mom told me no more. I listened to her and waited till I moved out.

Do you register your guns ?
I would say registering a gun would be good for someone who owns one but doesn't go on forums or are really not into guns. Example would be some who bought a shotgun for home protection, puts it in the closet and that's it. But a few years down the road it gets recalled. The only way they would know is if they registered it and the manufacturer contacted them.

Guess it's possible to do if you notch the buffer tube and put the screw through there.

The only one I know of is P&K. Just opened earlier this year. I don't like the place. I will leave it at that.

School me on Glocks
Very plain and simple guns, they do their job. Can't say anything bad about them. Mine always worked just fine.

I would say you are right. A little late for a 529b. I would consider putting the money into a money market account to get a little interest.

Thank you. I really like the look of the carry handle, the fact that it basically can't break, and is usable for my HD situations as the light is bright enough that the sights are lit up. Will I change it to a red dot? Probably one day, but not right now.

How Often Do You Shoot?
Not enough. Lucky if I get out every other month. Been a rough year around this house. 2013 just hasn't been my year other than one thing, the birth of my son.
