first i'd like to say im new around here and so far it looks like a great place. im turning 21 in the next few months and im determined to purchase my first handgun (not first one ever, just first owned by myself.) and had a few questions for you guys.
first off as this will be my first firearm purchase from a shop (first firearm not handed down, or bought privately) what in Virginia, what would i need with me to make the purchase? i know i will need two proofs of identity, but what can i use for them? drivers license obviously, but what else? and is there a waiting period in Virginia for handguns?
also, what are some good shops in the richmond area that have a large selection? im interested in the taurus PT1911, or any decent 1911 under $700 as i have the most experience with 1911s and i like their feel better than other handguns i've used. any opinions besides the taurus?
and for my last question. is there a good range in the area? i would hate to have to go out to my dads in deerfield every time i want to shoot
anyway, thanks in advance for any help.
