im looking to buy a gun but I don't know what the process is. Is it as easy as walking into a gun store or a sporting goods store and telling them the one you want? Do I need to take a class? Go to the court house? Thanks for your help.

Depends on what type of gun you want. A shotgun you can just walk in and buy it, probably the same for a high powered rifle. Not sure about pistols
They'll do a background check too.

Meh. I typing on an iPad. But thanks to the first two replies. Thinking about a M4 carbine. I didn't come from a family who owned guns so i don't know how easy or hard it is to get one.
There is a one question survey you have to answer
1. Do you find Kate Upton hot?
The decision is based solely on that question's answer.

I bet if you went to the store and tried to buy one they would tell you everything you need to know. That's just my opinion though.
Wildcat droppings, I applaud you for using your own picture in your avatar. That takes courage. Judging by your pic, you may need a parent to sign for you since you don't seem to have a strong enough iq. Hope it all works out.
Seriously, it is as easy as walking into the store, filling out some paperwork, and giving them money.
Though, since you are asking about this........and you referred to it as an M4 Carbine......you might want to take a Hunter's/Firearm safety course. I think it should be mandatory for all rookies/novices.

Nah, just go to your local hood, do not dress like a cop, tell them what you are looking for. Cheaper, you will not have to pay taxes, and no back ground check. The only down side to doing it this way, you could lose your money, not get a gun, and ,,,, end up on First 48. No risk / No reward.
I am always surprised at the number of people who have never owned or fired a weapon. I guess I was lucky in a way growing up with a family that hunted. FWIW, I never understood the people who owned a gun for every day of the week either.
My favorite are the people who buy guns to make themselves look like badasses. They gotta supplement that hard exterior background of growing up in the suburbs.
Handguns are made for killing, ain't no good for nothing else.
Wrong Mr. Liberal, they are for protecting yourself and family from dopers and sorry low life.
If all goes well you won't ever need one. That being said, the world is much different than during your youth or your father's time.
A few years ago, a pretty girl approached me as I was leaving the boat ramp and asked me for directions then began small talk. I was in a hurry to pick up my kid from school so cut it short. She returned to her car and made a cell phone call then returned to me asking irrelevant questions and trying to get me to stop and talk to her. I noticed a truck pull in on the other end of the parking lot next to the exit and 2 guys get out and lift the hood. As I unloaded my boat stuff and put it in the truck I pulled my 9mm pistol from under the boat seat and put it in my pocket. The girl stopped talking and walked away when she seen the pistol. I thought I scared her with the gun. As I was pulling out to leave I looked over to the pretty girl to wave "bye" and she was back in her car starring at me and talking on the cell phone. As I passed by the truck with the hood up, both rough looking boys starred at me and one was on a cell phone. As I got almost out of sight i looked back and seen the pretty girl had pulled up to the truck and the one of the guys was talking to the girl. Still no big deal...a few days later I heard on the local radio that a motorist had stopped to assist a girl in a broke down truck and 2 men come out of the woods and robbed him and tied him up. This happened a few miles from the boat ramp. No doubt in my mind I was the intended target of robbery but she seen my pistol and they decided a shoot out wasnt worth it. I seldom leave home without my pistol these days.
Had you set her on fire with a flamethrower then none of that would have happened.
I carry around a small bonfire with me. Whenever somebody asks me a question I squirt a little lighter fluid into it and get it stoked up really high, then I ask them to repeat their question as it sizzles in the background.

Bet your ass.its what the army uses. I'm sure for some that was their first experience with a gun. Seems like it's easy to handle. Not a lot of recoil when shooting.ARs make great starter guns.![[eyeroll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/rolleye/rolleye0011.r191677.gif "Eye roll [eyeroll]")
I like to give them their first flamethrower when they're about 2. Makes them comfortable and teaches them a little responsibility. The first time they accidentally burn down the house is a special moment in their development. They cry for a few weeks, sure, but they never forget and that is the key to proper flamethrowin'.
Take the guy up above that was talking about getting his flamethrower wet... LOL. You can just tell he never got his first flamethrower until he was about 9 or 10. Rookie.

You must be able to formulate a thread topic using at least rudimentary grammar skills to purchase a gun. You didn't qualify. So, the system works.
I always find these threads amusing. Those who don't own guns making fun of the ones who do by calling them murders and rednecks. On the other hand the ones who do own guns are calling the ones who don't sissies. It usually turns into the biggest internet message board slap fest ever. Let me get in on the action by saying I have a gun safe with several shotguns, rifles, pistols and bows. I hunt and also have my concealed weapons permit so I guess I am in the murdering redneck crowd.
^There are several kinds of people that make conversations like this up.
-"Never haves" - These are the people who have very little, if any, experience around firearms. Often they see them as dangerous and unnecessary. Part of this mindset is warranted but mostly it's born out of lack of experience. Most people have no trouble with owning or using automobiles......despite the fact that autos account for waaaaaaaaay more injuries/deaths than firearms. People accept autos b/c they are exposed to them at extreme frequencies. We aren't scared of them as much b/c we're just used to them.
-"Always will" - These are the ones who grew up around firearms and own them currently. The exposure is greater, so they don't see them in the same way as the "never haves." Often they see them as necessary and can't understand why someone wouldn't own them. In reality, most people that own firearms will never use them......so, really they aren't as necessary as the "always will" would lead you to believe.
-"Media whores" - These are the people who watch/read media and are adamently against firearms. Their stance is skewed just like the others, but is biased based on how the media shapes their opinion. They don't understand that the media blows coverage out of proportion for ratings. All these see is the negative view that the media sells them and they can't understand the other side of things.
-"Gun nuts" - These are the opposite of the media whores. They see it as their duty to own what they can. Fiercely defending their right to own. They can often quote all the data of how many more lives firearms save as compared to how many are lost. Often they possess a little fear of conspiracy as well.
The whores and nuts are the minority......and regretfully they are the loudest and will ultimately drive threads like this. The nevers and always would like to have a nice conversation, but will throw their hands up when the apple cart is ruined.

^Personally, I would be worried that someone would steal it. Plus, you'd have to exit the car to use it.....rendering the car stationary. I would go a little more covert.....
Be sure to have a pistol as backup in the glovebox.
