    Default New girl from Wilkes-Barre

    Hi...new to the thread and need some information. I hate to use the cliche`...but I am a "single white female" living in Wilkes-Barre, and I would like to purchase my first handgun for personal/home protection. Can someone steer me to a gunshop where someone will take the time to make sure I can get the right item for my needs. In addition are there any indoor gun ranges where I can get trained properly. If not, I have a brother and nephews who will take me under their wings! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Pics or it's not true.

    Seriously, I believe there are a few members in your area so hopefully one or more of them will chime in and may even be able to give you some instruction. I personally have no experience in gunshops in your area. Welcome and good luck.

    anyways, go to advanced arms in Pittston, tell them your story, they will help you find the right firearm for you.

    Advanced Arms in Pittston is a good one, my shop of choice is Piestrak's up on Alden Mountain Road just past Nanticoke. As far as indoor ranges, I don't know of any. The only places to shoot aside from gun clubs is up on Suscon Road in the Pittston area or up on 118 near Rickett's Glen. Good luck.

    couldnt agree more and if it makes you feel more comfortable dealing with a woman the owner's wife is more than willing and qualified to help you with any questions you may have.

    I also recommend Advanced Arms in Pittston, I live 50+ miles away and do the majority of my firearm purchases from them. They're good people.
