Hello From MA, New Gun Owner!
Hey people, my name is Alex and I recently got my FID in the State of Massachusetts issued in December last year. I am proud to practice my 2nd Amendment rights, and bought my first gun in February of this year (See signature for current guns owned). The reason I joined this forum is because I like to find people who also own guns and enjoy talking about it.
I am now proudly an owner of a Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22, as of this very month! I haven't had a chance to take the gun out to the range yet as I have been busy, but when the time comes I will go test fire it. I have read the manual of the gun in and out extensively to the point where I field stripped the gun, reassembled it, and know how to safely operate it.
I am currently looking to practice my marksmanship so I can get into a competition one day, if not next year. Its nice to be apart of this forum, and hope to have some cool conversations with you all!
Edit: My first gun: Mosin Nagant M91/30 (1942 make)
My second gun: S&W MP15-22

Reason: No signature, thus have to add extra information.

Thanks for the welcomes! Being a South Hadley resident I live very close to springfield, where S&W is. I also know two people, one who still works there and one who retired. Really cool people to talk with about the company, and their experiences.
When I get my Class A LTC, I will definately buy myself a S&W M&P 40 or a revolver. Preferrably a .45 or .357/.38 Special.

Welcome from another inmate here in Massachusetts. Do you plan on attending the Big E gunshow in October. I have two tables there and would really like to meet you. Gunshows are are great way to meet dealers and check out prices of items you may be interested in.
