It took a month and a half for my local police department to complete the paperwork for my handgun permits, partially because my employer didn’t feel comfortable answering some of the questions asked on the questionnaire. And to be honest, I don’t blame them. Some of the questions they were asked, most employers wouldn’t be able to answer confidently.
Yesterday morning, I picked up my new Smith & Wesson SD9 Home Defense Kit which I purchased from Bud’s Gun Shop and had shipped to a local FFL. I decided I wanted to purchase a 9mm semi-automatic pistol for home protection because I want to make sure my fiancée and I are safe regardless of where we move to after we’re married. Her father has a Ruger SR9 semi-automatic pistol, which is partially why I chose a 9mm instead of a .40 cal for home protection. I also chose a 9mm because I wanted a gun that my fiancée could shoot without knocking herself over and I thought a .40 cal would be a little too powerful for her to handle.
I plan on purchasing a biometric gun safe and some ammunition from Cabela’s. I’d also like to get a light/laser combo to mount to the gun (even though the home defense kit comes with a light), a holster and some extra magazines.
