    Was trying to convince my wife to finally let me buy a truck but that got shot down. Told her I needed a handgun then if no truck was in the cards and she said go for it! So currently looking around my area the unfriendly gun state of MD for a Walther ppq m2 9mm! Very excited as this is my first handgun purchase.

    Next time, tell her you really want a boat...or maybe a truck will do.

    HAHAHA good one lukem! They are extremely hard to come by and require you to jump through a ton of hoops to prove you need one and its pretty much impossible.

    That's what I thought.

    PPQ is a nice one. My BIL has one and it shoots great.

    Congrats on a great decision to protect yourself and family. :thumbs:

    Now....get to the gun shop and buy a small, medium, and large firearm. You know, different tools for different jobs (or whatever you have to tell her) ;)

    I recommend a .22 handgun to go along with the 9mm. For one, they are much easier to learn with if this is your first handgun. Secondly, just tell your wife it was a "buy one, get one free" special!
