See if another range has an M&P Shield 9mm for you to rent and try, and you need to practice a lot if you are going to have an EDC gun.

Living in a crap state with lots of restrictions is also a problem but unless you can move to a more free state you will need to be very careful.

i'm fine with the state having restrictions, although a lot of them are currently getting challenged. Hell it was damn near impossible to get guns here until they overturned the law like a year or two ago, and they also challenged the CCW requirement that you have $300,000 in insurance so that's gone too, next is the rule about where you can conceal carry.

I don't think I'll really need to practice a ton, I learn pretty fast and i'm a surprisingly good shot going by the few shots i put up at the range, but i'll definitely take a pistol course/NRA CCW course and practice loading/unloading and my stance at home. The gun won't actually be loaded obviously but i'll put rounds in the mag, see how fast i can load the mag, and unloading a loaded gun(finger off the trigger and safety on).

The best case scenario is that I won't have to use the gun but i'll go to the range at least once every 2 months and get some shots in and practice.
