Hey Guys,
New to the forum, so I hope this post isn't redundant. I've decided this year that it's about time I finally learn how to properly use and take care of a gun, as it is a skill I consider necessary that I've put off learning for some time. I've been doing research about doing so, and I realize that in NYC it's a pain in the ass.
I'm looking to learn to how to use a handgun. I know I need to join a gun club, and for that I need a permit, but for the permit to work I need to purchase a hand gun within 72 hours? Is that correct?
Here's the thing. I do not feel that I can properly care for, or am responsible enough, to currently own a handgun. This is why I want to learn. I would be uncomfortable owning one as of now. Additionally, I do not really have the funds to purchase one. Or to take a really in depth gun class.
The one thing I have going for me is that a friend's father is a retired shooting instructor for the NYPD. He's willing to teach me, but I need to belong to a gun club for that to be legal.
Any advice? I have no idea how to proceed. I turn 30 exactly a year from now. I'd really like to know how to conduct myself with a firearm by then.
Best,
Danny
