I just had to tell you guys. I've had an interest in firearms since I was young. Now that I'm old enough, I paid the $25 fee and filled out the paperwork at the sheriff's office and I should get the permit in 10-14 days. I also got a free gun lock! I'm seriously considering the Walther P22 since it has an option for a 5" barrel that makes it good for target shooting, while the 3.4" barrel is good for carry. I'm wide open to advice since I know you guys have a lot more experience with guns than I do.
