I don't know how long I was reading about gun laws, different type guns, ect on this site before I even became a member. After I felt I knew the laws well enough then I bought a handgun and started the LTCH process
Maybe the guy didn't think that carrying a weapon was that big of responsibility and carried for the "cool factor".
Yeah a gun is not really the kind of thing that you buy and then just learn as you go.
Especially carrying.
