Considering upgrading myself from gun owner to gun carrier

<< < (2/3) > >>

I recommend the M&P Shield, fantastic guns at about $320. I have a buddy that carries a Glock 19. He is just a little guy and one day he was rolling around on the ground looking under his vehicle at a problem. I said that I thought you were carrying your gun, he showed me he was. I was looking for it and couldn't even see it and it was summer attire.

I open carry more than concealed and very few people actually notice that I am carrying, even a full size weapon. If they noticed a bulge under your clothes, the vast majority don't consider that you are packing.

Purchase permits are issued by the sheriff of the county in which you live. Check the sheriff's web site for information about the application procedure and office hours.

I took my CHP class from Chris Zeeb. He does an excellent job.

Selecting a gun, holster and carrying position is a very personal decision. There is a series on The Truth About Guns web site on this subject. Some of the contributors have gone through several guns and many holsters before settling on a particular combination.

To try before buying, contact dealers who have ranges and rent guns to see what they have available. If you have shooting buddies, ask to borrow their guns.

If you are new to handguns, it would be worth taking an introductory class. An NRA class might be sufficient. Precision Response Training in Plattsmouth has such a class. They provide guns and ammunition.

Lancaster County Purchase Permit (and rental) info: http://lancaster.ne.gov/sheriff/admin/handguns.htm

If I lived in Lincoln, I'd go to DE Guns (NFOA sponsor) to do my "fondling."

Bill:
Thanks for the info guys.  My job took me within 4 blocks of the Sheriff's office today so I stopped in, genuflected, submitted my offering, and in 7-10 days I will be allowed to exercise my rights.

Keeping in mind, of course, that the purchase permit only enables you to purchase a handgun, not carry it concealed.  Open carry is fine.
