Hello everyone.

I've just recently gotten into handgun ownership. I never came from a "gun" family so I can safely say I'm green to all of this.

I recently purchased a Beretta PX4 9mm full size firearm. I plan on taking the HCP class in a couple of weeks and applying for the permit and carrying concealed.

I work in home healthcare... We have a contract with the state and I will likely be going into suspect areas of town to admit new patients on TennCare...

My wife and I have a 10 month old at home and I'm trying to do everything possible to protect ourselves. i have always wanted a gun and am glad now to be a true gun owner... It's a right I'm more than proud to exercise.

I have ordered a Comp-Tac M-Tac concealed carry holster which should also be here in a few weeks...

Anyway...

If there is anything you would suggest for a newbie... let me know!

Welcome!

Biggest things to think about is how to protect your child in the next 4 years or so, you might want to learn to use the lock that came with it, or get one of the small lock boxes, or whatever. By the time the child is 5-6 you can begin to train things like do not touch this without daddy around and teach the simple safety rules for kids (see online materials on teaching kids about guns).

Practice a lot until you can shoot well. Then take some defensive classes as you have time and money. Involve your wife if you can get her interested in it.

Learn to care for your gun, keeping it maintained is important for a semi-auto.

You picked a quality gun for your first. I have the sub-compact PX, and its a great piece. Never had the slightest problem out of any beretta over the years.

Thank you. Very good information and a big "will do" from my side. I look forward to shooting as much as possible.
