Default Hi new here....

Hi there guys, names Pat im in the Fresno area, and i just joined.

Im only eighteen and im im the market for my first rifle (budget around 1200) this is NOT for hunting however for fun, AND protection. I am planning to move to the LA area (USC for school) which is in fact the ghetto. Ive learned how to shoot AR's, and AK's and ive always been curious about other rifles (more specifically bull pups because they are not the "norm"), however I am a big AK fan and im very new to the market (i dont know brans, etc. however i will know about models) so help me out? lol

Welcome, hope you find the forums informative. Your question is a tough one, I would love to have an AR or an AK, my stuff is older bolt action. You might want to read up in some of the forums about what guys/gals are shooting. There are laws that affect magazine fed rifles more so than bolt action. There is a lot of information about Assault Rifles that you need to know; there are regulations about detachable magazines and large capacity mags. Good luck, and glad you could join CGN.

if you go to college make sure to NOT let people know what you have. an ar15 among 20 year olds is a HUGE theft target. kids would much rather steal your firearms than your laptops.

invest in a gunsafe and bolt it down.

have you looked into AR/AK pistols? i think thats something you might be interested in because you dont want normal standard things..

ive thought about it but id much rather get the rifle than the pistol, however i wouldnt be taking this anywhere but my home (in which i will be living with my girlfriend) and the gun range, but is there any online stores i can look at?
