Start here. Questions to ask before a purchase, from "why" to "which" to "what it costs to do right."

We're expanding this guide — here's the short version now.
Three questions come before any purchase: why do you want it, what will you use it for, and what does doing it right cost — license, training, storage, and range time included. In Massachusetts there’s a fourth: the license comes before the gun, so that’s where the timeline actually starts.
None of that is meant to talk you out of it. It’s the same conversation we have at the counter every week, and it’s the one that leaves people confident instead of second-guessing. The long version is being written.
