Thanks for the warm greetings. I've only been involved in a couple of online gun forums, but by and large, gun people tend to be some of the best people you'll meet. Many are surprised by that, I'm not.
I guess I should clarify that I live downstate, on the Isle of Long. Nassau, (some might say Nazi) County, vastly outnumbered by Anti 2A'ers. I guess if anybody here wants to get into shooting sports, you have to really want it to put up with all the legal BS, attitudes, costs, and relatively low amount of ranges, clubs, and gun stores.
I'm stuck here for 5 more years. Just have to decide where to escape to. I guess if there's a good way to look at it, it's so crappy here, almost any place will be an improvement.
Born and raised NYer, but I slipped through a hole in the fence almost 5 years ago.
WELCOME!
Your user name looks familiar. LIF maybe? Bailed on that place years ago.
