Newbie in the pre waiting room
Hello,
I have been reading on this site for about 12hrs since yesterday and my head hurts so figured I it was time to join. I 'm 24 live in Socal with my fiancée but we will be moving to Houston soon. I was born in TX grew up in the Midwest moved several times since I was 18. I'm a heavy equipment operator as my name suggest. My fiancée and I have come to realize we both enjoy shooting a lot since she took at shooting class. I know very little about handguns and have only shot them a hand full of times, but have been an avid hunter since I was knee high to a grasshopper. We plan on getting our CCs when we move to TX and I at least might join the IDPA.
One thing I'm unclear on is if I'm going to have a problem getting my CC at 15 I was convicted of a crime (read felony) as a minor, but only had a few minor traffic tickets since. Do I have anything to worry about?
Next are there any threads that have some very good info that I may have missed while browsing? Especially that pertain to choosing the right handgun and cal. for myself other then comfort (not sure what to look for) I'm 5'11 @ ~135lbs.
Oh and do ya all have an acronyms list some of these have got me lost?
