Buying Your First Gun: What to Know
Before buying, ask yourself:
-
What’s the primary purpose? (Self-defense, hunting, range use?)
-
How will you store it?
-
Are you trained to use it safely?
✅ Pro Tip: Always handle a firearm in person before buying online. Local gun stores, gun ranges, or gun shows let you test grip, weight, and comfort.
Where to Buy Guns Online (Legally)
You can buy firearms online, but they must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer. Upon arrival, you’ll complete a background check before receiving the firearm.
Popular online gun retailers:
-
Palmetto State Armory – Affordable rifles and pistol kits
-
Guns.com – Huge online inventory of new and used guns
-
Brownells – Firearms, parts, tools, accessories
Remember: Every gun purchased online must go through an FFL (Federal Firearms License) transfer.
Choosing the Right Gun for You
Consider these factors:
1. Purpose

2. Comfort
Does it fit your hand well? Is the recoil manageable?
3. Maintenance
Some guns are easier to clean and maintain than others.
4. Budget
Don’t forget to account for the cost of ammo, accessories, and safe storage.
