Honda sucks because my friend had one and the motor blew. :1

unless the county you're in has a law against open carry, you do not need a permit to carry it openly.
you don't need a permit to buy one, only a background check and probably waiting period.

Re: .380 or 9mm?
all that except the age depends on the state your in (18 longguns, 21 handguns), the only state i can think of off head to open carry without a permit is texas. to be a concealed carry holder you have to register through your local law enforcement office and be approved of it. some states will issue CCL without even living in that state.
In some states you need to pass a safety exam to purchase firearms and the card is good for 5 years of purchasing. the background check goes through the DOJ (Dept of justice), and of course your states manditory waiting period.
if you purchase a firearm through a private party i would HIGHLY suggest you take it to a gun smith to be checked. also you still have to wait the waiting period while the dealer / FFL holder holds the firearm until your approved through DOJ.
i hope you're not talking every weekend, that ---- gets expensive.. i get 400 rounds of each 40 and 9... 200 of .22 (1000 rounds total) when i go with my girl... and thats about 170-180 just in ammo for the cheap value packs of Winchester white box (avil at your local walmart), and if you're in a city dont forget range fees, targets...
i tried to burn through only 400 rounds total when i would go in the beginning but i would be done in an hour and a half and it just seemed way shorter..

I used to shoot with my dad but haven't in a while, wouldn't mind having something for home security as well as fun on the weekends.

Re: .380 or 9mm?
concealed carry permits are given out by county by county sheriffs offices.
you can open carry in every state as far as i know, but certain counties dont allow it...
i do not know of any place where you need a permit to buy a firearm. maybe in the soviet union and kalifornia

Are you on crack! The Kel-Tec 380 is notorius for FTEs. The issue is that Kel-Tec has shitty quality control. The gun could be good, but you kinda of need to get lucky and get a decent one. Or you can send it to a smith and get it reworked, then it's nice carry pistol.
