This post is meant for entertainment purposes only. Any statement above is made in satire, and any content within is to be considered a work of fiction not based on actual events. I have like 2 fucking law firms.
God damn! What's been going on in here? Some of these guns just look unreal, must be fun as hell to shoot some of these, although some look a bit impractical. Anyhow...went through some certifications over the summer, got my concealed permit, but never picked up my own gun. I'm curious to 2 things- 1.. Where do you all go to shoot? In my area it seems like there's a lot of crowded ranges with a lot of rules to them. No point to own a gun if I can't use it and have fun w/ it. 2. What's a good starting piece to own? I'm primarily interested in something that would be easy to conceal but would still pack a punch. Also...any suggestions for a 12 gauge? I've only shot the 9mm Beretta, 12 gauge, and M16, all fun, all fairly easy to use.

All depends on what kind of gun you want, and how much you're willing to spend. Do you want a semi-auto or a wheel gun (revolver)? Also since you're carrying it as a concealed piece you want it for personal protection. If you pick up a revolver I'd be looking for something like a .38 special. Thats just my preference though... It all kind of depends on what feels good to you (nh). Semi-auto and incredibly easy to conceal, Ruger makes a .380 ACP for about $349 brand new. Not the most powerful piece but it's tiny as hell. If you want something to put someone down though, Beretta makes compact 40 and 45's. Hell a lot of companies do that now too.

to use a late gun guru's philosophy....
if you want to stop something, get a gun in a caliber that starts with '4'
if you want to just piss it off...go lower
Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
do you think you are good under pressure fixing malfunctions?
only draw back to a semi auto.... possibility of malfunctions. you must train fix the problem quickly and under pressure.
if you are mechanically inept... get a revolver. load it. forget about it until you need it.
other than that... go for it.
i'd recommend trying out a glock type platform and a 1911 and see what you like the best.
you cant go wrong with either.
glockofiles talk trash on 1911's, but if you train with them, you'll be good to go.
glocks never die and dont really need to worry about cleaning them.
they'll run forever.
see which style you like the best.
also learn about:
always staying in condition yellow, front sight!, the combat triad, loading (tactical and empty) clearing failure to fire, feed, eject (tap rack bang), failure to extract (look lock drop rack rack rack tap rack bang )
and most importantly the law of self defense
at the end of every round you send down range there is the proverbial lawyer at the other end.
