I specified handguns for a reason, your comment on hunting is irrelevant. And for target shooting at the range, you can use guns provided there.
Why would I get mad if you buy a gun? I'm just asking questions for people to think about here. But if you want to waste your money just because you fantasize that some anonymous person on a forum gives a flying fig, then go ahead and fritter your money away.

Apparently it happens often:

Jared Lee Loughner, a 22-year-old man with a troubled past who law enforcement say may have been influenced by American Renaissance, a pro-white publication, bought the gun from Sportsman's Warehouse's Tucson store in November.
Loughner, accused of killing six people, shooting Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and wounding 13 others, did not present a concealed weapons permit so he was required to pass an FBI background check. He did so"immediately and without incident," said Matt French, speaking from the Sportsman's Warehouse's Utah headquarters.

Just FYI...you CAN hunt with a handgun. What do you think all those .44 Mags and 454s and .500 S&W are used for?

Why don't you already have a gun, then? You said you were going to buy a gun just to make me mad, not for self-defense. Getting your drawers a bit up in a knot, aren't you?

syg makes sense but in a perfect world conceal carry doesn't. You should be forced to open carry so everyone knows what kind of playing field they're playing on.

too bad open carry is an invitation for trouble and panic. your fellow citizens will rat you to the cops because they think what you're doing must be illegal and then the cops will harass you. so it's much easier to conceal but then you could people who abuse the system.

It actually works out less in your favor than one would think. The element of supprize usually trumps showing off and just getting blasted right off the bat. If you want to open carry and it's legal where you live, go right ahead. I'm sure not going to. I already know two off duty Deputies who are no longer with us because of it. P.S. Don't work security off duty in a coin and jewlry shop.

I'll tell you what I think. How did he even get the second round off? If I was on that detail, he wouldn't have!
