Greeting from NEPA. Congrats on your 1st gun purchase.

A suggestion. As a gun owner, it is in your interest to join the NRA. You'll see a lot of the members here are members of the NRA

You may have gotten literature with your new gun with an offer to join, sometimes at a discounted rate for new members.

Something to think about.

Enjoy your new gun. It may be your first, but it probably won't be your last.
