Seems like the test to qualify for gun ownership is so basic, there isn't really any classes. For CCW certification training and other training classes those are 5-8 hours and cost on the order of $400 but you bring your own firearm there.
So I watched a 15 minute video and read through a 50 page government document then took a practice test with questions like:
"True or False, it's okay to have a few drinks before handling a firearm as long as you're under the legal limit for alcohol intoxication."
Needless to say I got 100% you only need 70% to pass.
So Friday at 10am I'm going in to start the background check process, take the test $25 and so on.
I looked at Sig P226R-40 vs Glock 35 the sig is something like 7x more expensive and mostly on par with a Glock. So I'll take the Glock then. Again I want .40 cal and I like the idea of the longer barrel. The sig was something like 36 oz, way heavier but all steel while the glock is almost half the weight but mostly polymer (plastic).
If I fall in love with shooting I could easily buy more guns but for now I will only get my starter pack so to speak at the lower cost option.
