dont know anything about hand guns. have been thinking about taking a ccw class for a couple of years to learn about them. a buddy of mine took me to an indoor range with him last week and let me shoot his Bersa thunder and a 22 pistol with a infra red scope. well i had a great time and have now signed up for a ccw class next weekend, and have been reading and watching you tube videos. havent got enough experience to decide on a gun yet , but iam leaning towards a Glock 19....cant really picture myself carrying a gun except maybe when out of town or maybe to some of the wilder biker events...more for home protection. i dont have any other guns and iam nervous of having one with my small grand kids visiting often...looking at some small biometric gun safes....so any advice you guys have is very welcomed
