Elder its great to know you're doing good in A-Stan. Question tho, how come you only load 21 rounds?

Great advice, the only way you're going to find a gun you like is to try different ones out. For women the best gun for them is the one they will actually shoot. The best weapons for HD goes; Rifle>Shotgun>Pistol but whatever weapon you do buy make sure you buy a good weapons light for it to ensure proper ID on your target. To many people get shot when people don't ID their targets and shoot at noises.
Do it. That's exactly what I did for my first AR. It really is a since of accomplishment after you finish and it really isn't that hard. It also gives you more insight on the inner workings of your weapon. You only need a couple tools but there are two or three pieces that are a pain to install. If you need any advice don't hesitate to ask.

yea, i watched a video and it looked really simple. everything just seemed to snap into place and you're obviously doing it wrong if it doesn't fit. all i need is a an upper, a stripped lower and the parts kit right? nothing seemed complicated just a few tricky things to get at.

On a scale of 1-10, how important is it to have my weapon registered in California?
- 1,950

copied from wikianswers:
In the past (pre-86 I think, but I'm not sure), no guns were registered in California; after registration began (only for handguns), any transfer through an FFL dealer would cause registration, however before 1/1/91 private gun transfers without going through an FFL were legal. Thus, a person can own a gun which they bought legally through a private party (pre '91) that was originally bought pre-registration. This gun would be perfectly legal and not registered. Any transfer of ownership after 1991 must be through an FFL dealer which would cause registration (exception is intrafamily transfers, which require a separate form for registration) (bringing a handgun in to the state also requires a Personal Importer form to be filled out). Because of this, simple possesion of an unregistered handgun is not a crime, however buying one without going through an FFL dealer is.
Owning an unregistered gun that was manufactured after the start of registration (i.e. brought in illegally from another state) could get you in trouble, however the likelyhood of such is dependent on many factors/circumstances.
Long guns are not registered in CA at all.

Absolutely, you should assemble it yourself. Usually comes out cheaper and u get it how you want it.
Edit
Where r u located that u need a permit to purchase a long gun?

my cheaperthandirt.com order came in, picked up 3 more 16 round CLIPS for my FNP-9's. Also got a Lee Turret press and 9mm/.38/.357 steel die set. unfortunately, I don't have a workbench to bolt it to, or brass, bullets, powder, a tumbler. I might have to get another .45 just so reloading is worth it.
All these gun heads in this thread and no one handloads?

Aimpoint came in. Got it for $560 with the Larue mount. No shipping, no taxes.
I accidentally smudged the front lens, oh well.

Got to play with some cool toys last night.A good friend of mine is shipping out to Iraq today, he had issues with his flight yesterday, and ended up flying into regan instead of Baltimore. Since he's deploying tomorrow, he had almost all of his gear with him. He's an Air Force PJ, btw. So he let me play with his m4. His is full auto, 16 inch barrel with an aimpoint and an APTIAL, not too littering yet, but he's going to paint it and add his surefire light when he gets over. They also gave him a surefire suppressor, and a standard issue m9. He also has a bunch of diving equipment and some parachuting equip. He must have about 500 lbs of gear, his body armor is probably 30 lbs. One surprising thing he told me was he had issues with windowed Pmags jamming, and loading a full mag. Toldmethebest mags hes used are metal with tan anti tilt follower.

You mean extended "magazine" with 20-30 rounds?also good luck getting mags with over 20rds online. I believe the max for MD is 20. MD law states its illigal to sell magazine with over 20rds in the state, but its legla to own. You just have to purchase it accross state lines( PA). So online stores more than likely wont ship 20+rds mags to MD

I just recently started working in a Firearms store and being surrounded by it all day makes wanna cop everything
Anyways I'm still waiting til I'm 21 so I can get my first Handgun and I've been looking at some 9mm Glocks, mainly the G19. What's are some of your thoughts or recommendations NT? I want something for home defense as well as a gun I can take to the range.

Look at the chart first
https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pwswheghNQsEuEhjFwPrgTA&single=true&gid=5&output=html
With that being said, you should look at brands which are mil spec like Colt, Daniel Defense, BCM. They are considered top tier and aren't much more expensive than garbage brands like Bushmaster, DPMS, Stag, etc.
Also do a lot of research/reading over at http://m4carbine.net
