some one told me to introduce myself

[kakahead11]

Yes I am new this forum and too guns. I guess I have to explain why I want a gun. I am not into guns in the sporting sense. I want protection since I live in the city. It sucks not to feel safe especially in the parts of the city like Lodo area where you would think it would be safe. The thugs have taken over, and me and my girlfriend got beaten up, and being out numbered I couldn't really do much but take the beating. So my motivation is to find a hand gun for a good price.

Sorry to hear about that. Welcome to the forum.

Going out and buying a gun after getting beaten up is the wrong path man.

I've been jumped in Lodo as well.

Okay, maybe "wrong path" was a bad way to phrase it. I think maybe saying it is not the best place to start would have been better.

Welcome to the board. Have any immediate questions? Have you fired a gun before?

I have fired a rifle, shotgun, and a hand gun before in Oregon, that was when I was a lot younger. I didn't think a lot about guns before, and thought that it would be good to have stronger gun laws, but now I think I should be able to protect my self from thugs.
