With my wife now retired (I still word), and at home full-time, we are going to purchase a handgun. We both have some experience with guns and have taken the NRA safety course (but that was decades ago). We are going to sign up to take the safety course again and take a conceal/carry class. So the questions are:
1) Is it a good idea to shop around for a used handgun, or stick with new?
2) What's a good handgun for self protection? We don't have kids but do have nieces/nephews and grandkids around sometimes. Is it best to get a gun safe, trigger lock, or both to ensure gun safety when the kids are around?
3) Are there any specific gun brands or types to avoid?
Thanks for the input!
