10. I fell for the CCW line, first I bought a gun and ammo that ran me
Edited on Sun Oct-03-10 08:55 PM by doc03
about $650 total, then I took the CCW course that cost another $200 total. After the course I realized the gun I had chosen was too big to actually carry. So then I went out and bought another more practical gun for around $350 counting ammo. I carried the gun for a couple weeks and figured out it was kind of ridiculous, I am 62 and never in my entire life have I ever been in a position to need a gun for protection. I haven't carried a gun for probably over a year now. I would call it a $1200 mistake, proves you are never to old to learn. If you just need a gun for home defence a cheap shotgun is better than a semi-auto pistol and you don't need a CCW permit in your home anyway. So far I haven't needed a gun to defend myself at Bob Evans either.
