Lots of good discussion on this thread, haven't posted in it before.
I had been wanting to teach my wife how to shoot, and given time, she will be starting out with a good ol' .22LR rifle this weekend (if we make it out to the range, bit of a drive for us). She can be a bit jittery with loud bangs, so starting off with the ol' faithful bolt-action .22 until she's more comfortable to move onto bigger calibers.
Taking my time now to find myself a self-defense pistol. I personally haven't owned my own handgun before (shot plenty of rifles and handguns, but usually friends' guns or rentals), but I am looking around local shops for a good deal on one. Planning on taking my Conceal Carry once I move to Texas in the spring. I could take it beforehand here in Oklahoma, but I think I'm just going to wait since I'm moving. I know the Oklahoma one has reciprocity (pretty sure I misspelled that), but Texas will be my home state for the foreseeable future so I'm going to wait and take theirs.
As for my personal firearms, as mentioned, I have a .22LR (Savage MarkII), and hopefully adding a solid handgun soon. Also wanting a nice .308 rifle. But like with my Camaro mods, gotta wait and find the money
