.380 or 9mm?

Re: .380 or 9mm?
Nah, I don't plan on shooting every weekend. At most, it would be once every month or two. I have a bit too many hobbies as it is and they run my funding thin, so just want something to play with (with the added benefit of protection). Trying to stay as ignorant as possible to all the upgrades you can do so I don't get ideas and spend too much on something I'll rarely use

That's what I started with (top), and I recently got a Smith & Wesson M&P9C (bottom). It's like going from an old crx that's fun to a rowdy new camaro.
Here in MN you have to apply for a permit to purchase. It has a background check through the PD, and when you get that permit you can buy as many handguns as you want for 1 year, then you have to renew it.
As far as the concealed carry, you have to take a saftey class, then apply for that permit. The only saving grace is that MN is a "shall issue" state, which means as long as you're not an x-bankrobber, they have to give it to you. Much better than say KKKalifornia where you have to be a retired judge or other communist employee.

Also it could be some people just don't know how to keep heir firearms properly maintained (well oiled and clean), especially those "it comes oiled from the factory ill just go shoot it right after i got it" people (those people are morons).

people like your friend are the ------ retards in this world who make it harder for non-criminals to legally own.
people only do this under certain conditions:
1.) they are a felon and shouldnt have had a firearm in the first place.. therefore they obtained it illegally and selling it illegally
2.) the gun is stolen and hey no way to trace it back to them.
There are reasons people have to go through a process when purchasing a firearm, if i handed off one of mine and they killed someone with it whos liable? thats would be me.... it can only at any time be transfered without paperwork when you are letting a non-felon immediate family member take possession.
