To buy a cartridge handgun in CA requires passing a safety written test, and paying $50.00 for a three year permit. You also (are supposed to) own a safe.
This permit allows one to purchase as many handguns as one wishes...but, only one cartridge handgun can be registered every 30 days!
However...anyone over the legal age can purchase a BP cap and ball handgun without ID...and walk out of the store with it the very same day....!

I would also recommend that you buy the best quality rifle you can afford. Because you're probably going to have it for a long time. For some odd reason very few (I've never met one that does) shooter's ever "trade-up" for a better gun. They simply go out and by a new one, keeping the old ones. I think that's how some folks end up with more guns than a medium sized police force.

Envirocon is right. I've only traded 2 guns in 40 yrs of collecting. My favorite 22 is a old Marlin 39a. Its a lever action & very accurate. Get the best 22 you can afford.They can last a lifetime. I have my first 22 that my dad bought me in 1963. Its a Remington 550a. It will still shoot a group the size of a dime. Shooting is very addictive. I shoot a case of shotgun shells a wk & a couple of bricks of 22s also. Its a great hobby IMHO.

One point no one's touched on - rimfire rifles are illegal for big game in most states.
And no one mentiond my favorite either-the 22-250. Left to right: .218 Bee, .219 Zipper Improved, .22-250 Rem., .220 Swift

It's a MISR-90 (Maadi receiver imported by CAI built on a Norinco parts kit)

While it is true you can't hunt with a .22, you can with a .223. And you can buy a Ruger Mini 14 in .223 and then get a .22 conversion kit for it and shoot both. The Mini 14 has its fans and detractors, but that will be the next 50 posts...

I do NOT care if you hijack my thread at all. This is a gun thread. Talk about guns!
Someone asked what kind of hunting I would do and where at. Well I want to hunt deer and turkey which I THINK I can do with a .243, correct me if im wrong. Eventually I want to go duck hunting. I think that would be loads of fun.
I know I want my first gun to be a rifle. But yall really got me thinking about the .22. But I know I want to go hunting with my first gun and not have to buy a new one to do so.
I also want my gun to be a new one. My girlfriend mentioned buying a used one from cabellas but I decided against it, because my first gun will be MY first gun. Someone also said that when you buy a gun you will keep it. YES!! I will keep it! For a long time at that!
HEY WIZ! Verry verry cool collection! Care to elighten me on what they are? Yes I am a gun noob, and I will admit it!
ATC Crazy- Also verry nice collection. I really like that marlin .22 that you have. Verry cool!
I am still looking for a good noob gun forum. Suggestions?
If anyone wants to elighten me a little more my aim screen name is-CrazySpyder69 (duh!)
Thx again all...wow....lol

Especially ones that'll penetrate the first 4 cylinders of a Ford Straight Six!The Remington Model 8 and later Model 81 Woodmaster are an excellent example of a rifle that kills on both ends...almost as bad as a Winchester 1895 in either .35WCF or .405WCF with a curved buttplate.
