A few months ago I attended a local gun show and was interested in buying a pistol. I've always wanted one but never got around to buying one. The gun show motivated me to learn more so I've done internet research, posted questions on this forum and figured out roughly what I wanted. So this weekend the gun show came to town and I went this morning. This show is so big it's easy to get overwhelmed with everything that's available. I found a dealer that was selling Smith & Wesson state trooper turn ins that peaked my curiosity. After handling the gun for about 15 minutes and a good discussion with the dealer I ended up buying a 40 cal S&W model 4006 semi auto. Turns out it is a California state trooper turn in that appears to be in emaculate condition. The original box even has the troopers name and phone number on it. So I'll wait the mandatory 3 days for the backround check and pick it up on Thursday. My intention for this firearm is to be able to go to the local range and learn how to safely use this pistol. I hope to never have to use it for its original intention but will if I have to. I have always been a responsible gun owner and will continue that trend with the pistol. I can't wait to take this to the range.
