    Wow! Strong "frat" hatred in this forum ... :eek:

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    You guys need to put yourselves in my shoes. You're 21. You're intrigued by the fact that with a clean recored and a few hundred bucks you can carry a concealed (or revealed) pistol. It's empowering. How many 21-year-olds have taken advantage of such a privilege?

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    Ha-ha! I shouldn't have talked about seeking to "up" my GPA. That implied that my GPA is bad, which it isn't. But I know I'm capable of more.

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    To be honest, I don't know where they're keeping it. I just handed it to my mom (it was wrapped in a t-shirt) and said, "Put this in my desk drawer." Next time I see my parents, they're all angry about me buying it. I asked to take it to the range, and they just said, "No. Maybe when you're 25...

    Cops and Armed Citizens

    I wouldn't go so far as to say most cops look favorably upon citizens carrying concealed weapons.

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    That the gun is larger than most 9mm's means nothing to my parents; in fact, I think they'd find the idea of a tiny gun even more sinister. And I like 16 rounds coming out of a sleek design. :evil: Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap!

    I. Don't. Live. On. Campus. Catch up on the conversation, please.

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    Let me respond to this barrage of advice and questions. My parents foot the tuition and living expenses. I have a part-time job and vanishing stash of money from previous jobs. My parents have tried playing the "You're wasting our money" card, but I explained that the money they give me...

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    Thanks, man! I think I'll buy that one after telling my parents the following. Mom, dad, you basically stole my gun from me, claiming that I had no safe place to store it. Well, I did some thinking and some research. I can buy one of these mini security safes on the internet for as little as...

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    I have spent any time around guns. I used to shoot pistols with my uncle and our next door neighbor, the latter of which is an avid shooter who showed me the ropes. But no, I don't have much experience. I'm hoping to gain experience. I went to the range twice, one time renting 9mm's and one time...

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    I already thought about getting a car. There are some 20-year-old Hondas on Craig's List, $500 and still running fine. But then there's the danger of a criminal breaking in the car and finding it. A small vault would be perfect. Before taking my gun home, I had it stashed away between some...

    Bought a pistol but ... (long story)

    I turn 21, buy a Beretta M9, and get my CCL. (Who wouldn't?) Problems arise. I come to the realization that guns are probably not allowed in my fraternity. So the next time I visit home, I leave my gun. My anti-gun parents become angered. The next time I come home, I ask for my gun, and my...
