Ok, the best web site that I have found is www.stategunlaws.org. You need to find out what the laws are in your state. New guns can not be sold online. You will have to go get one at the store if you want new. Getting a concealed carry permit is not that hard to do however it is time consuming. As far as a good economical gun, I like the Springfield XD .40
Caliber. The best advice I can give you here is that if the gun feels good in your hand you will probably like the way it shoots. If it is uncomfortable to hold, it will feel funny when you shoot it. Caliber is always a big debate. It all comes down to shot placement in the end so buy what you like. Look for the safety features the gun has. Check out what ammo costs. If you are not planning on concealed carry, then you can carry the gun SEPARATE FROM THE AMMO in any state (i.e. to the range or out to the boonies to go shooting). Do your homework and you will end up with what you want, and if not, it's just an excuse to get another gun!

You need to check the laws in your individual state and town where you live. Most places prohibit carrying a concealed weapon without a special license or permit. Some places (like Virginia), you can carry a loaded weapon with you at all times as long as it is in plain sight (like in a holster like the old Wild West cowboys). Many places will have restrictions on things like how many rounds a magazine can hold. Carrying a gun in the trunk of your car will likely be considered carrying a concealed weapon. You really need to research the laws where you plan to own the gun.
As far as recommending one, what will you be using it for? Hunting? Hunting what? What do you consider economical? I suspect any half decent gun or rifle will cost you at least $400 unless you are looking for a little .22 rifle to shoot rabbits and squirrels.

Open your phone book to the yellow pages and look up Guns or Firearms, depends on how its listed. Locate a gun store close to you and give them a visit make sure that you tell them that you are not yet interested in buying but that you would like to know the local laws, tell them what you want the gun for and see what they suggest then go home and do some on-line checking on what they told you.
A base guide is this:
Hunting rifle - Ruger, Remington, Savage or Weatherby Vanguard
22LR - Squirrels, Plinking
223REM,22-250REM - Varmints
25-06, 270WIN, 308WIN, 30-06 - Deer, Black Bear
30-06, 338WIN - Elk, Moose
375H&H - Brown Bear
Self-Defense Pistol - Colt, Ruger, SIG, Glock, S&W
Revolvers - 32H&R MAG, 38 special, 357 MAG
SEMI Auto - 9MM, 40S&W, 45ACP
Hunting Pistols
357MAG, 44MAG or other even bigger cartridges.

once you're over 18 and don't have a criminal checklist or psychological issues, you may desire to purchase your very own rifle or shotgun. because you're in contact approximately your parents no longer allowing you to have a gun interior the domicile, in simple terms purchase it and permit your uncle, cousin, or chum you shoot with shop it for you. in case you come to a decision to purchase a gun on line, it won't be in a position to be shipped to you, it is going to bypass to a FFL license holder,and you may %. it up there. the least difficult answer is to take the advice you may desire to a gun keep, and he can do the ordering and organize the transport. yet there is not any reason to purchase maximum weapons on line, till there is something quite specific approximately it, love this is a collector's merchandise. i'm optimistic there are gun shops, pawn shops, or maybe Wal-Marts close by, and that all of them sell weapons. you basically bypass in, fill out the needed style, have a history verify performed, pay you funds, and take your gun. in case you do no longer meet the standards - age, sparkling checklist, or psychological subject concerns - you won't be in a position to purchase a gun. And if a chum or somebody else buys it for you, they're to blame of a criminal offense noted as a straw purchase. do no longer complicate the two your lives via attempting to bypass around the regulation. there is likewise yet another determination. some gun tiers lease weapons (frequently in simple terms handguns) so which you would be able to try them out in the previous procuring. it must be quite worth a pair of greenbacks to attempt that for the period of the previous procuring.
