Hey guys, I havn’t been on this part of the forum before. I wish to purchase my first handgun. If you guys must know, I live in California where we have the strictest gun laws. I love to go shooting at the range but renting somebody’s gun and paying a premium for ammo is getting out of hand. I would like to have my own handgun for range time and home defense. Recently I have received my handgun safety certificate to purchase firearms. All I have to do now is purchase a DOJ cali approved gun lock and choose my gun. Is there anything else I would need to do besides the 10 day waiting period ? I have been shooting the G17 and the M&P 9mm. I’m considering purchasing the G19 due to versatility, easy to maintain, and reliability. Any bay area gun owners please give opinion. Thanks much !
