I'm happy. Today I paid for a 22 handgun. It's a revolver. It'll make a great trapline gun. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I'm only a lad yet, one of my parents will have to go get a permit to carry before they can pick it up for me. That could take 2 weeks. But it's paid for and in layaway until they've got the permit! I can't wait to shoot it.

Cool how much u give for it??

Hundred and a half... the others there were more expensive. I liked the look of that Derringer though... LOL it looked like a friggin toy.

i have a m94 taurus .22, nice gun...

Cool, I think I am going to buy a .17 HMR Marlin for predator hunting. Anyone have any experience with this gun?

the bullet on the 17 is a little small... get you a .223 or 22-250

Well I have been reading that the gun has a bigger bullet then a reg. .22 or .22 mag and have heard from a few guys its a great predator gun at a nice price (around $230 for the one I want to buy) and it says on the site it comes out at close to 3000 fps and only drops about an inch in 150 yards.

The folks only need a " Permit to purchase" in order to buy a handgun. Apply at the Sheriff and permits are mailed out.

Those who do apply for and complete the 8 hour course and our given a " Concealed Weapons Permit" can buy handguns as long as there C.C. permit is Valid. I believe current MN C.C. permits our good for 5 years.

To be honest a .22 or.17 rifle would serve your needs as well or better. Until you are 18 you can not carry a pistol alone in the woods anyway.

You might want to read the laws in your state. As I read it they have to have the permit to buy, and when your of age you will have to have a permit to carry it. Here is the link I was reading.

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/getpub.php?pubtype=STAT_CHAP_SEC&year=current&section=624.714

No permit is needed to carry a Pistol in the field in MN but you must be 18 years of age to be in the woods alone with one.

A C.C. permit is needed to carry a uncased loaded Pistol in the your vehicle while traveling between sets. If you unload and case a Pistol and place the gun in the locked trunk out of reach, with ammo separate from the gun you are legal , as long as you are 21 or over.

A permit to carry is not required of a person -

(d) to carry a pistol in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this state for the purpose of
hunting or of target shooting in a safe area; or
(e) to transport a pistol in a motor vehicle, snowmobile or boat if the pistol is unloaded,
contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, or securely tied package.

Thanks guys. Will talk with the folks about it.

Nice.

Researched all the stuff... thank you tmrschessie for the link. Thank you also 2poor for the info. Understand the rules now. Time to go get me a pistol and see what happens next.
