Hello to all and thanks very much for the information that is shared here. My wife and I are (relatively) new to the gun scene and I guess we couldn't have picked a worse time. I didn't even know the panic was going on until I started the research when looking for our first gun. Fortunately we found a nice Browning Buck Mark .22 (and some ammo) that we are using to learn how to be good gun owners. We're taking classes and getting in range time. As an internet age kind of guy I research and read tons of information before venturing into most anything. The information available online is so vast that I don't see why anyone would stumble into this stuff completely ignorant. Anyway, my next purchase will be the basic home defense/carry in the car when we travel gun. The favorite candidate (right now) is a Glock 19 Gen 4 - if they ever become available again. Eventually, the "just for me" gun is a 1911 platform - and I'm still researching the heck out of those.
So thanks again for all the info in these forums. Even the war stories about gun stores and ranges are instructive for newbies who will read and learn from them.
