[QUOTE="KenL, post: 1378350, member: 14975"] I'm a newbie, but here's what I've learned through this forum, and personal experience for concealed carry. First thing is, you need a gun. Personally for my own needs & desires, I like my Taurus .380 TCP. It is small, light, simple, and less than $300 out the door. The ammo costs a little more than say, 9mm but life is full of trade-offs. It won't be something you'd want to spend all day shooting, but I think 3 trips to the range at 50/100 rounds per trip would do you more good than trying to blow through 500 rounds all at once would anyway. Again, I'm not a party to the big gun vs. little gun or Glock vs. S&W arguments, this is just what works for me. Another thing that is just as important is to get some training from a good gun instructor. You can find them on here too. [/QUOTE]
