the reason i ask is because if you have a pistol license you can go in to any gun shop and buy rifes, shotguns, and handguns and leave right away with them.
you people do realize I mean Fully Automatic Firearm License not a Full Automobile License I have no idea how you could possible confuse that. Why would I be comparing automobiles and fire arms. Did you not pass the 4th grade or something

A gun store I know in Edmonton sells prohibited handguns. How are they selling these if they are illegal to buy? Are they only able to sell them to people who ALREADY own prohibited firearms? Is there ANY way to buy one if you dont own prohibited guns already?

I am aware of pawn shops, gun stores, gun shows...

But are there other ways or places to look for inexpensive but good quality handguns?

10 points to whoever has best answers and/or the best reference link.

I am a single woman and am looking to apply for my CHL (in Texas) this month. I live by myself, but recently have had a few 'scares' that have left me afraid in my own home which i don't like. I just want something there beside the bed or with me if something were to happen. I'm petite (5'2'' and 105lb) and don't really feel as though I could depend on my own strength to protect myself, despite the fact that I have taken self defense classes. I don't know much about small handguns. I am wanting something that will be easy to handle, clean, and rely upon. I want something that will be easy to use, light, and not give too much of a kick back. I know the better you get the more expensive it will be, but what price should I expect to pay? As many details as you can give would be great! Also, suggestions of specific handguns and/or name brands would be excellent.

Thanks so much for your help in advance!

Im interested in getting a desert eagle. what is the difference between a .44, .357 and a .50AE desert eagle? Which one would be better to have? Also is Magnum Research Inc the only people who make desert eagles? And finally are desert eagles reguardled as one of the most wanted handguns?

This is my first look at Y! Answers. I'm curious to hear more about buying handguns, specifically Glock, online. What are reputible companies, and why are they reputible?

Im thinking about going to a gun range to learn to shoot handguns (ex army but they never showed us Truck Drivers how to shoot handguns). Also, how much does it cost to shot and a range and do ranges have ammo you can buy or do you have to get that from a gun shop. Do gun ranges have instructors to show one the basics? Whats a pistol for a beginner to use. HOpefully a pistol that is easy to clean!!!!

I was just curious because i own several handguns that are excepted under the current CA gun laws but i want to buy a glock and i was wondering if there are any restrictions on civilians buying them?

I'm a legal adult (19) with no criminal history whatsoever. I'm 19 but I have to wait til I'm older to buy a handgun. This makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm in California and people here can't buy handguns until they're 21.

If I were to go to my local gun shop, would I be able to purchase two handguns and two rifles in the same day or is there a limit to how many you can purchase in one sitting?

If i'm 17 could i legally work at a gun store in Arizona? I already know that you must be 18 to own a rifle, 21 to buy handguns, I just want to know if i can actually work at a gun store.

I am considering obtaining the firearms license in Canada.
I would like to buy real handgun, but apart real lead bullets I'd like to have a choice to fire with rubber bullets or tear gas bullets.
My questions are:
1. Any problems I can have with a regular gun (like Glock 17) if it's used with rubber bullets?
2. Where to buy rubber bullets / tear gas bullets in Canada? Or US? Let's say 9mm.
Everybody, thanks for your answers !
As I understand, rubber/tear gas is not too popular in North America. It is very popular in Russia where I came from. Probably the main reason of that is that real guns are not available for regular citizens...
I've owned tear gas pistol (very effective for street dogs) and a revolver that can shoot rubber bullets as well.
Why would I want it in Canada? Well, let's say:
1. Just to have a choice to switch ammo to non-lethal when I clearly see that the person attacking me is not armed with a gun (guns are quite rare in Canada).
2. Because I am used to this type of ammo and don't feel so much responsible.
3. To my understanding, laws in Canada are very strict and 'frowned upon' the use of firearms for self-defense and especially killing somebody. You are supposed to call 911 and police will protect you. Am I right? So I assume that rubber-bulleting an intruder will get me in less troubles with a law.
Also you can't carry handguns in Canada.

I'm in the military stationed in VA I would like to buy a handgun in Va, but i'm a resident of NJ. Do i need to have all the permits that NJ requires to buy a gun in Va? I know that I can buy long guns, but what about handguns.
