[QUOTE="Absster, post: 2921732, member: 41464"] Hello! Found this forum when I was searching online for gun info and I'd like to browse the classifieds. Hoping someone might be able to answer what I'm thinking is fairly quick questions. I'm getting overwhelmed with all the info out there. I live in one of the smaller, country cities in the OKC area and we've recently had 2 high speed chases through our town and 2 seperate groups of people breaking ino vehicles. And still on my radar is an incident that happened about 4-6 months ago where someone tried to bust in the back door of one of the homes in my neighborhood in the middle of the night. All this has led me to where I am now in asking for advice in moving forward with protecting myself (a stay at home mom) and my children in our home..in the event it is needed. I was raised around guns and have watched my dad clean enough hunting guns that I could probably do it by memory. I have a healthy respect for them but I have NEVER shot one. My step father is a police officer and has offered to teach me when I'm ready. At this time, I don't want to carry a gun on me or with me. It would be used for home defense only. Someone told me a 9mm would be best but would love opinions or maybe more specifics? I have young children at home so opinions on the safe but quick, accessible storage options? We have a large gun safe but something more easily accessed would be good. I'm clueless there but want to be..overly :)..informed before I commit to having a gun outside of the large safe. Classes? If I have my policeman step dad teach me...likey will that be enough? You don't have to take classes or get permits for just within the home, right? Sorry for being long winded, but I think I got all my questions on there. :) Any other advice is greatly welcomed! [/QUOTE]
