In addition to having a nice collection of firearms, most gun owners also have a nice collection of gear. What kind of gear (and other stuff) do you need to go with your firearms? Here's a list:
- A Concealed Carry Permit
- A gun safe (a big one for all of your firearms and a small one by the bed)
- A gun class (or two or three to know how to use your guns and improve your skills)
- CPR/basic first aid (usually you will be shooting far from the nearest hospital so it pays to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies)
- Spare magazines/speed loader
- Mag holders
- Nice grips/Stocks
- Binoculars
- Scopes/sights (laser sights are particularly nice)
- Targets
- Shooting glasses
- Hearing protection
- Gun cleaning kit
- Gun case
- Holster/Sling
- Ammo case
- Ammo (lots of it)
- Small digital camera
- Shooting gloves
- Multi tool/spare parts/lube
- Range bag (include stuff above plus masking tape, stapler, Sharpie marker, Wet Wipes, foam ear plugs, granola bar, ziploc for spent brass, bottle of water)
- Specialized stuff (for Black Powder, Cowboy Action, Tactical, or other types of shooting)
- Clothing (ie: I wear a certain jacket at the range only figuring if I wear it through the detectors at the airport it may cause a commotion)
- Access card to the range
One very important thing that people forget when they carry concealed is to buy a nice belt designed for the job. The wrong belt can make a great holster very uncomfortable.
