Opinions? I'm a relative noob when it comes to firearm ownership (never owned but shot/cleaned/hunted/ect. handguns rifles shotguns but not recently) and considering a H&K .40 compact and a shotgun (Remington because that's what I know) of the "home defense" variety. Need a store that won't try and intimidate a noob. Yes we will be taking courses of the CCW variety plus I want to spend lots of time at the shooting range to get proficient. No use having a tool you can't use if you need to.
