I want that "have to be 21 to buy a pistol" bullshit to be gone, too. You are more likely to kill someone with a car than with a gun, so why can I get a driver's license at 16 but have to wait until I am 21 before I can purchase a revolver?

Yeah that's a tough call, I feel for your situation some (how many?) 16, 17, 18 maybe 19 even 20 year olds might not be mature enough to carry a deadly weapon....not including 18+ year olds in our armed forces!!

Maybe some special exemption for "some" 18+ year olds, without mountains of paperwork. Question, do you at least have pepper spray mace? Not just mace, I prefer the 10% pepper which is more effective, even on some dogs which do not have tear ducts or really drugged out people.

Nope. If I carry some kind of spray, I want something that'll blind whoever I spray FOREVER

I do have one of these, though

I'll tell you what, pepper spray is nasty stuff sprays up to 20' on full charge, I have the hand helds in my car, desk, outside. It can save your butt in a jam. You can even get a key chain spray -but- you have to be real close.

I insist my wife carrys hers.

A spray can sometime takes too long to get out and be readied for use and under a stressful situation, your muscle memory might not work well with it.

I do have a thing about certain age groups owning gun. I think the legal limit should stay the way it is but with exceptions. Say you're 18 and want a pistol. You take a course that shows you are mentally and physically prepared to handle it. The stupid drinking age limit is kinda stupid as it is anyway. But I think the 21 for handguns is just a cut off date for the general public.

That'd be fine with me

I think 18 and up for guns, handguns included, why can i get an ar/ak/fal but not a handgun? The "handguns are more dangerous" people are stupid. The only nd my range ever had was a ar15 that some moron shot over the berm

you only have to be 21 to "Purchase" a hand gun...you are allowed to own one younger if it is gifted to you from a friend or family member.

Actually they're more of a pistol grip, just practice gripping it a few times or test fire a new or old one. They have a belt clip and key chain. (I have this one, $14.95, $13.95/ 3 or more)

Actually my test sprays were more straight line than this picture and you put your thumb under the flip top.

yeah, spray sounds cool until you get a slight breeze and then you'll be on the ground next to your attacker. I suggest a pepper gel like Kimber makes called the pepper blaster. You wont get blow back like with the sprays and its fired off by a shotgun primer so the gel flies at 90 MPH...the dude with be debilitated for atleast 45mins. It will even break thru glasses.
