whats your estimate of a cost? i'm trying to see how much money i should get together... and how long does that whole background check nonsense take? i got no record so it shouldnt be a problem but how many days/weeks do it take? please only a few days...

The background check is either 10 days or 2 weeks, I can't remembe which one. Just call gun shops tomorrow. It will run you a couple hundred for sure. You should be able to come up with the cash eventually. You still have to take your safety course. I took mine at Big 5 sporting goods.

It's 10 hours I think. Maybe that's just for hunting. Just gun safety might be shorter.

one 10 hour class? are you serious? or is it divided up into a couple classes?

Maybe get some pepper spray, and some other self defense equipment like a noise maker.

divided up. mine were 2 hours long.

I met someone there and got laid. So it wasn't too long for me.

noise maker? the little thing that goes on your keychain thing that starts making that loud ass noise? can i buy them at the drug store or something?

This thread is a perfect argument for gun control.

Boy gets mugged. Boy thinks solution is to get handgun. Handguns are easily available.

Boy buys handgun. Boy uses handgun on muggers. God forbid.

A noise maker or pepper spray would have been just about as effective as a gun in that situation, and with less legal implications.

I got my pepper spray at Big 5. They have other self defense there too. They will probably try to sell you a shotgun. Those are good for home defense. They have other self defense stuff too. K-mart or Walmart has that stuff too I think.

i doubt it mrmitchell... there was a couple half a block down who saw the whole thing plus a couple people driving by... i dont think the noise maker would have helped... might have attracted the two cops who were checking out a house a couple blocks up though. i dont know.

**Al B. Sure!** · August 3, 2003, 02:46

i dont know what Big 5 is... we dont got them in philly
