Description

This is a free one-to-one conversation by phone, video call, or in person, covering things to consider when picking your first handgun. We will talk about purpose, fit, size, comfort, accessories, safe storage, upkeep, and recommended training as a responsible gun owner. We will also cover some legal issues concerning gun possession. My goal is to help you start with the best experience as you become a new handgun owner.
