I am going to start looking for a gun, my first, this weekend.

Well, as former LE myself, I have always packed. Still do, and will always. Don't always carry on person, but it is always within reach. Thankfully here in Oklahoma, we have concealed/carry laws. With a permit, we can carry. It does help. At least I have a fighting chance if necessary.

Just some quick advice about buying a gun. Shoot many before deciding on one. I got a .45 and wish I got a 9 mm.

I know that for many Americans this is a heartbreaking choice, but they, too, will follow in your footsteps and arm themselves. It is the only way to defend oneself against an armed aggressor.

Reminders from a FRiend:
Treat every gun as if it is loaded until you confirm otherwise.
Never point a gun at anyone or anything that you do not intend to shoot, loaded or unloaded.
Practice, practice, practice.
