    Somewhat new to firearms. My city's gun violence is getting out of control so I think I need to be armed. For a starter pistol I purchase a Smith n Wesson shield 380 ez. I know there's much better out there but I'm on a budget. Didn't know at the time how expensive ammo is for a380 wow! Getting fingerprinted in a couple weeks then however long it takes to get my permit. Meanwhile I'll be taking lessons at the range. Hope to learn alot in this forum. Thanks!

    Welcome to the boards, from a Neighbor 2 counties over. (LaGrange) I just purchased a laser bullet system to try out for practicing. Because of the ammo scarcity. Its something you may want to look into there are several out there. I wont plug mine until I have tested it.

    Take Bigtanker up on the offer. I will join in as well. We can meet in Elkhart at the Elkhart Rifle and Pistol Club. I can bring some 380 Ammo and some 9mm guns for you to try. PM either or both of us.
