Your car is not a holster.
Good quality training is the one thing that makes all your guns better. You probably can't shoot as well as you think you can.
A Glock 19, a 10/22, a good quality 5.56 AR-15, a .308 bolt action rifle, and a 12 ga mossberg 500 are really the only guns anyone needs, but buy the biggest safe you can find anyway and leave enough room for another one next to it.
Admitting to owning a .40 S&W will make everyone on here question your sexuality.
Someone with training can shoot any gun well. Don't modify your guns other than sights/optics. Use the money you'd waste on bullshit mods for ammo and training.
If your new handgun shoots low and to the left don't adjust the sights, just get training.
Buy a Glock 19, shoot/carry only that for a year, take a couple classes, become proficient then go buy that new micro 9mm or .38 snubby and learn how not to shoot your fingers off with it.

Boston "Assault Weapons Ban" ... n00b content
I have been reading the board for a little bit and I have been searching for this info but could not find anything solid. And when I called BPD Licensing I asked if there was a list or if they could point me in the direction of a “list” of gun’s illegal in Boston. I followed up with the...

I had to think pretty hard about this. I'm afraid my answers might be a little too specific.
Save your brass, even though you're not reloading yet. OK, that's fairly general. But don't save your Herter's 44 magnum brass. It sucks, and you can't fix it with primer pocket reamers and swagers. Just give it up and throw that crap away. Better yet, don't buy Herters 44 magnum ammo. The 357 magnum cases are only a little better. Don't bother with those, either. Oh, and don't shoot Herter's Nylon-coated 45 ACP bullets in a revolver unless you really like melted plastic in the cylinder throats.

Night vision and silencers are cool. Don't rely on local gun stores for anything. Either join a niche gun club that appeals to you or shoot on land that isn't a club. Everyone has subjective biases and most people will never push their guns to the guns' full potential. Path dependency is everywhere. And finally, prioritize quality over low prices.
Good advise. Had to buy 2 as I ran out of room faster then anticipated.
I learned a valuable lesson after I got my LTC by complete accident. After I took my safety course, I got a free gun rental coupon. Thankfully I used it before I bought my first handgun. After just a single magazine, I realized that my first choice of ccw gun (I was basing everything off online reviews at the time) felt horrible in my hand, and I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it! If I blindly bought it, I would have been stuck with a gun I hated shooting.
Second: My first ffl trip wasn't to Littleton! After seeing what kind of treasures are in that mill building, I'm still kicking myself for waiting so many years to take a trip down there! Go to MAGA Arms. Sharif is a great guy!☺

you should have said; "Never pick up your brass near a .40 owner". It would have been more topical.

That as a senior on collitch, my wife, then GF, was more open to a 3-some with that hot blond she worked with than I realized. I truly wish I had known that sooner.

Not if you live in Chelmsford and are into recycling! Very bad combo.
Buy ammo when it's cheap and plentiful. Your coming in a a shitty time. When ammo comes back to normal buy it.....only shoot half of what you buy....stockpile the rest. You need a good Blackstock to get through the tough times. And Backstock means if you know how many rounds or boxes you have it's not enough.
