Ok... Finally acted on a thought that I have wanted to for several years. I bought me a 9MM for home protection and to shoot at ranges. First 20 years of my life, I was around, shot, and hunted with shotguns and rifles. Last 25 years, nothing so I am taking a handgun safety and shooting class before the bad boy comes out of the box. My state has a conceal and carry law. My question is there any value to having this? I live in a small town and it is pretty safe. Dont feel the need here, but I go to St. Louis frequently to eat out, go downtown, and attend various sporting events. My question is even if I feel trained enough to carry, there are so many places you cant take them. If I leave it in the car, I probably run a greater risk of it being stolen (my car has been broke into twice this past year while being downtown)than I do of needing it. What is my value or benefits in having it? Anyone have any experiences or thoughts with it? I know I could have posted this on a handgun forum (learned a lot from them) but am not a member of any and they seem they would be a little more one sided in their opinions. Thanks!
