Yikes.<br /><br />I'm glad I live in Colorado with no "cooling off" period (other than the back-logged NICS) and that I can purchase multiple firearms anytime I want.<br /><br />Of course, our state is currently being Califoricated, so we'll see how much longer our bliss lasts.GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940575797908189714.post-34027781320074857732013-01-21T14:20:23.803-08:002013-01-21T14:20:23.803-08:00Wow, I'm kind of tired just reading about all ...Wow, I'm kind of tired just reading about all those hoops you have to jump through in Cali.

Interestingly enough, a juevenille has to take a hunters safety course before he can hunt, but I don't think an adult does. I think anyone planning to hunt, or even own a gun should have to take it. <br />It is pretty common around here for a person to have several weapons in his/her vehicle at all times. Hunting is, as a rule, a family outing for Dad, Mom, and the kids, even if the kids are too young to hunt. They grow up learning fire arm safety. It is one of the things I love most about living here.

No limits, no headaches.<br /><br />No GWL? Fill out 4473, wait on a call back from NICs, and ta-da! You are a proud firearm owner (provided you pass the NICs background check.) Pre-mass hysteria, you generally knew whether you passed or not pretty quickly- sometimes even while you were standing there in the store. Now though.. I hear things are *slightly* backed up. <br /><br />Getting your GWL is easy too, and *used* to have a fairly quick turnaround time. <br /><br />Not being much of a wheel gun fan (even though I now own one you'll be happy to note- a Virginia Dragoon .44 magnum,) I tend not to start my students off on a revolver. Sometimes, we go with a .22 (Ruger Mark III) but most often a 9mm- Ruger SR9, or the SR9c, Rock Island 1911 in 9mm, etc. With supervision, we've used a Glock 17 quite often too. And a Glock 19. Once the student is comfortable with 9mm, we'll move to other calibers etc. <br /><br />I almost feel guilty being so lucky to live in a shall-issue state that allows open carry :)<br /><br />Happy Shooting Cowgirl!!!! (I need to email you pix of that Dragoon huh? Its AWESOME to play with!!)<br /><br />Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.com
