Does Academy, Gander, or Bass Pro do payment plans?
They probably do lay-a-way plans. Which means he would make all the payments before taking possession of the gun.
I probably have a dozen handguns, but if there are problems on the property, I have my 12 gauge with the pistol grip in my hands. A handgun is not a replacement for a home defense shotgun.
Use all the power you can, when you can.
Yeah, I found out that Academy does lay-a-way plan, but that is a no go for him. I gave him the option of shotgun or handgun, but he told me he doesn't want a shotgun because he said it's just for his apartment until they move out later. He's a small guy btw, about 5'5 and only 140 lbs. The power of the shotgun would probably knock him on his butt.
His gf lives with him btw and she is very anti-gun, but in this situation she wants him to get one now. She wants him to get his CHL class first, then buy a handgun after that. For some odd reason, that doesn't make sense to me. I got no say in this because it's between them two. I'm here just to give advice, and other options to them.
Thanks for the advice here fellas. I'm going to pass ya'lls advice to him tomorrow and let him decide what he wants to do.
