I bought it at a gun shop this morning .
I have to wait for all the paper work to go through but it's mine now.
It's called a Mossberg 500 and it came with two barrels
I'm not really sure I need two barrels but that's how the gun shop sold it to me.

After I pick it up I'll schedule a session at a gun range with a person to show me the proper
way to load and shoot it.

I got this feeling when I go back to the gun shop to pick it up they are going to be trying to
sell me more stuff.
