      Purchase Application Delayed

      Thanks for the comments, guys. I think it was the holidays that caused the delay. I'm sure there's nothing on my resume that would cause a denial, but who knows; I ain't been no angel. Appreciate the words of encouragement -Chet

      First purchase...

      Yeah, that's the one. I think he was referring to the fact that it being hammerless and not cocked, it would be safer as a result of having to pull the trigger. Or something like that. I've got to study the differences between DA, SA and DAO.

      Purchase Application Delayed

      Snorko, are you from evansville? You seen it at Rajo's? The one I got was hammerless (not concealed hammer). I think in the other thread, someone posted a pic of it.

      I made another thread about what I bought (.38 Charter Arms - Used). Sorry I left that info out.

      First purchase...

      ... need opinions. Used Charter Arms Model 53811 Off Duty, .38 hammerless, 2" barrel. $289.99. I went ahead and paid for this, but am waiting on the application approval (another thread) before I pick it up. The salesman was really pushing this, saying he thought a hammerless safer. I'm still...

      Purchase Application Delayed

      Got delayed on my application tonight. Went to Rajo's to purchase, and got everything filled out, but whoever it is that approves these things delayed me. Salesman said it could take as long as until Jan 7. :dunno: -Chet

      Thanks for the comments and advise, guys. Gettin closer and closer to purchasing, and even my girlfriend may be interested, due to a situation that occurred tonight at a retail store she manages. :ingo::shoot:

      Taurus 38 Sp

      I seen that gun online, as I was searching Gander Mountain last night. Here's the link: .38 Special. Take a look and see if you can tell if it would take +P. A 6" barrel isn't necessarily what I HAVE to have; neither is a 6-shot. I'd rather, I think, for CC, prefer a 4", but I didn't see any...

      Taurus 38 Sp

      Found a Taurus 6-round 38 Sp for $399 at Gander Mountain. Has a 4" barrel, and that's what I really want, and is within my price range. But my question refers to whether or not it will take the +P ammo. The Specs doesn't say. I am learning that the +P allows for more stopping power, but I...

      Who's here from Evansville ...

      Okay, so we have RedBrush (I assume there's a local group; where?), and WSSC, both of which I had to Google to find out about - GOOGLE is my friend!! I'll look into more about it. Thanks, Greg, for the PM. I'll shoot you one back in a few :) I took a look at our local Gander Mountain store...

      To Own or Not to Own, ...

      Guys, I really appreciate all the comments and encouragement. This site is, indeed, very helpful. :ingo: I had several ideas about why the salesman didn't make himself available to me. I thought perhaps he didn't think I would buy from him that day, and I really wasn't prepared to do so, so...

      To Own or Not to Own, ...

      ... this is the predicament. See, I've never owned. For 50 years, I have never seen a need to have a gun. I've never had a "dislike" for guns, it's just that I wasn't brought up around them, and so the necessity never seemed critical. Until just recently (well, last month) I never even fired...

      Used vs New, Pawn Shops & Rock Island Armory

      Hey guys, Merry Christmas. Been reaaaal busy today. Thanks for the comments. I agree about the 4" barrel, I think, so I'm gonna go with that. BTW: the .38 the guy wanted $400 for was an S&W, but it's used, from a pwan shop that I don't think checks them out, so I' wouldn't be interested if it...

      Used vs New, Pawn Shops & Rock Island Armory

      A couple of questions here. 1. I'm thinking I want a .38 special revolver, but I'm not sure what I want in barrel size. I'm still researching the pros and cons of 3" (I think that's considered a snub, sin't it?) and a 4". For some reason, asthetically, I like the 4", but right now, being a new...

      BATF Requirements for Purchase

      Thanks for the replies. I feel much better now. I'll just try and get a statement from my family Doc and mark YES. I'm sure it will hold the process up for the LTCH, but that's fine. At least I should be able to purchase with no delays. Thanks

      BATF Requirements for Purchase

      Thanks. I recall now that I had also seen the application for CCW, and the wording was different than that for purchasing. I've never been deemed to be a danger to myself or anyone, and I've never had any psychosis. I've just had some minor anxiety problems in the past due to some deaths in my...

      BATF Requirements for Purchase

      Hello from Evansville. I'm a prospective new owner here in Indiana (never owned or fired a gun), and, of course, I know I'll need some training and such, but I was wondering about what the Federal forms will require as to past mental health issues. It seems I seen, several months back, that...
