Hello all,

My name is Kirk from lynn, ma. I have fired before and am in the process of applying for my conceal and carry permit. I am taking the safety course in wobun next week.

I wanted a walther ppk before i read about the horrors of .380 (stopping power but most of all the cost)

I look forward to joing the community and learning as much as i can.

Howdy!
Shoot as many handguns that interest you as possible.
Then decide.

Welcome. You should have no issues getting an unrestricted LTC in Lynn. Aside from the long wait time (12 weeks in my case), it was a pretty straightforward experience. No interviews or letters of recommendation. Just a finger print session.

stopping power

git yerself a good old 'merican .45 ACP. why, son? 'cause they don't make a .46 ACP. it'll stop an elephant dead in its tracks.

if you want a PPK, buy a PPK. whatever you buy, pick one gun, train with it, and shoot the hell out of it.

My update:

Took the safety course a few nights ago and learned a lot... Mostly how MASS gun laws suck compared to other states.

Next step, application then gun shopping

When you start looking for your 1st gun, be sure to see Ray at Bay State Firearms in Peabody. In addition to being a highly experienced LEO he is a great guy, works very hard to keep his prices competitive and is a fine gentleman. He is always happy to listen and offer opinions and options. No pressure to buy. I am certain you will find his assistance (whether or not you actually buy from him) to be invaluable.

Or better yet, go to Manchester Firing Line and try out different guns before you buy. Good luck and remember "thick skin" is a must.
