I pulled the trigger...literally

Bought my first firearm. Should pick it up at the dealer in a couple of days. Couldn't find one locally.
Springfield XDm 9mm. It felt best in my hand after shooting it, Glock 17 and 19, a Sig, and a couple of others.
It's my first gun, so don't give me a hard time about it being only a 9mm.

I'm sorry
Shithole MA, you can't get any gun off the list.
I'd say yes, but I'm not sure, holding it in your left could be more awkward then the bad eye sight.
As far as people owning 100 guns, that's not a lot

As I take the pictures from different angles and closeups - I get to really handle the firearms and get to know them well. Serious collectors don't seem to care what they spend; and they will put the word out they are looking for a particular firearm. I need to go back to one right now to photograph 12 more firearms he recently acquired.

Went to my first gun show last weekend, out of curiosity more than anything - I spent about 30 minutes and no money there.

he covered everything he was supposed to, but since he was so bored with the material, he spent a lot of time on discussions and question/answer sessions. everyone got to ask about specific scenarios they thought they might personally encounter, and i got a much better idea of the intricacies of the law in my state than if someone had just gone up there and walked through an in-depth PowerPoint deck.
just remember: always keep the demo guns pointed in a safe direction and never put your finger in the trigger guard until you're on the range and ready to fire.
also: our county was rumored to take 90 days as well, but we got ours in about two weeks. hope you get the same.
The 90 days was as reported on online forums. The county website says 45 days after the mental health check is complete. They don't peruse the Lounge as part of this check, do they?
At least you don't need any of that to open carry.

At least NC is a "shall issue" state, so the state has the burden to provide a reason to not give me a CCW - as opposed to some states, where I guess the burden is on the applicant.
Yeah, open carry is lawful for anyone with a pistol permit (which took a week), unless prohibited by the property owner. With the new laws in NC, I'll be able to conceal carry in bars/restaurants (previously forbidden), plus keep (locked in a vehicle) a firearm on public university and many other state-owned areas (previous couldn't even take weapons on those areas).
I'll know for sure on some of this stuff in a few days, after I take my class.
