well me i want to learn to carry cause i'm working my way through college, and i want to get practice with my gun before i turn 21.... Working through college i have crappy jobs, and currently am stuck as a cashier... i immagine 2 years from now that will still be the case untill i'm out of college(i'm going for a masters degree and have 5 years left, and two years before i can get a concealed carry permit)

Basically, bieng that i'm going to have 3 years where i can legally carry a gun to protect myself while working late night shifts as a cashier is kinda important to me... Sadly i'll have to go for two years without any protection what so ever.

So yes i think it is a possiblaty that i might get into a firefight considering that a 7/11 employee was shot and killed not too long ago. And thats why i want a good pistol and as much practice as i can get with it. I'm not one of those people that wants to be a "badass".

In general though i am very angry with my goverment telling me that at the age of 19 i can be forced to go die for my country(the draft which could be put into affect any time), but not be allowed to defend my self at that age.
