Re: Which came first, CHL or firearm purchase?

It probably wasn't 6 for me. but I was younger. My mother has handled weapons (a year or 10+ ago) in the Army. It just sounded like the typical bull someone with a powertrip to feed would say to some women who clearly can't know as much as he does. I'm pretty certain that he would NOT have talked like he did if I were there with her (2 weeks ago we did go there).

Which came first, CHL or firearm purchase?

I know my answer to this. But felt like I'd see if anyone agreed with the other side. So My opinion is You should have some level of comfort with your firearm prior to taking a CHL class. Purchase the firearm, practice with it at a range, then plan your CHL. Does anyone feel like obtaining your CHL before buying a gun is a better way? My mother who recently got her first gun took a friend to a local gun store. While there and looking at guns, they were "helped" by a know it all former LEO who dismissed her Ruger LCP as a temporary/disposable gun not worth buying and said that you should get your CHL before you purchase a firearm. She asked me not to call the shop and tell the manager how i felt about their encounter but wanted to post it here as it seemed kind of poor customer service in my opinion.
Thanks,
Brian
