I should have said in the original post that I can't get a handgun because I don't have a permit. The background checks are taking from 6 to 12 months. I really wanted a gun for shooting at the range, but for home protection if NEEDED (hopefully not). My cousin is on emergency services and recommended an AR-15.

I went shopping with him the other day and got a Bushmaster XM-15, which is more intended for law enforcement use. I chose that because he knows the gun in and out and can supply me with ammo for the range and teach me how to take it apart, clean it, and shoot it.

I took it to the range today and had a great time learning how to shoot from a trained professional.

Thanks for all the advice. A shotgun will be next (down the road). We will discuss that when the time comes.

Happy New Year everybody!
