Feb 9th- big day for a N00b

Well, this is it. The Spousal Unit and I are meeting with a Federal Firearms instructor to learn how to use our firearms, and to go to the range (DCF Guns, a truly excellent establishment) so we can receive our certificates and apply for our concealed carry permits.

I'm nervous and excited and hope that we have enough ammo for our various guns.

I realize this is very subjective in the "big deal" category, but we've made remarkable strides in the past few months, and I look forward to officially joining the ranks of the proud and responsible gun owners.

Enjoy and good on you for getting yourself and your wife proper training. You can never get enough IMO. Don't be nervous, just remember the rules of safely handling a gun and you'll be fine.

Thank you! But I am the wife. I'm the pushy one when it comes to guns. My husband like the idea of firearms, but I'm the one with the bit between my teeth as to getting this done. Now he's on board and we're going to keep up our education.

Crazy props for stepping up and getting your man on board. I'm proud to see yet another woman join our ranks. My wife was really nervous when we took our course. She was active duty and trained to shoot in the military, but it had been many years since she'd handled a firearm. She did great of course despite her nerves. I hope your 'wife' (j/k) does as well.

P.S. - can anyone say, "I have enough ammo"?

Pardon me ma'am! It's not too often we see it happen this way, so I am thrilled to stand corrected!

No sweat, Sawin! I'm used to keeping a low profile until I'm comfortable with the forum, so there's no need for a pardon.
I'm learning a lot from this forum, and I greatly appreciate the time and welcome that has been extended by the members.

Fantastic! Congratulations! Always respect the gun and you'll be fine. Welcome to the "another money pit hobby" club.
