I'm looking for a good gun shop in the Tampa Bay, FL area (St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa).
I plan on buying my first firearm. Yes, I've had firearms training, so I'm not a neophyte, but the 21 age limit makes it a bitch to buy a handgun reliably (you never know if that private sale NIB gun is really NIB for sure), and of course, CCW's don't get issued unless you are 21 years of age. I'm guessing I will be able to buy a gun in December/January, because that's how long it will take to get my carry permit and I don't want to wait 3 to 5 days for my freaking gun. I'd rather wait 2 to 3 months, and get the damned permit, so I won't have to worry about waiting periods, ever.
Anyway, where are some good places?
