Wow a permit to buy a pistol! And after some googling I don't think it even allows you to carry. I think I saw you have do demonstrate live fire too. For some reason I thought all states had gone to insta check when buying a firearm. Walk in fingerprint phone call walk out with new gun.
Oh and practice really helps. Someone posted a target here awhile ago that let's you know what you're doing wrong while shooting. I'll see if I can find it.
