New here AND to the NRA

[cchops89]

Just bought my first firearm last week. The obsession has begun! Lol. Some friends of mine recommended I join the GCG community. Also just became an NRA member. Hope to get to network with you all in the future! Be safe out there!

Welcome! Good group of folks that have a lot of knowledge to share.

What motivated you to buy your first firearm?

 

[cchops89]

Protection (and the long awaited approved from the wife lol)

I have found this to be a hobby with many areas to explore.

Have you ever shot before?

Have you ever shot before?

Yes several times (certainly not an expert tho to say the least). And Unfortunately not my own yet

As you know, safety is first. Have you become familiar with the handling of your firearm? You may find videos of how to use your weapon and what to do if a malfunction occurs.

If you do not mind me asking, what firearm did you buy?

Yes absolutely. S&W SD9. Bought it only because I am most familiar with the operation and handling of this particular firearm. I have done a couple of upgrades on it. Yes YouTube has been so much of help in learning more. I’m looking to get a rifle next. AR15 in particular. That I will certainly need to get more familiar with of course.

Are any ranges open with these shutdowns that you know of?

Also wanting to get my concealed permit, but my wife and I are fixing to move to Nashville in a few months so I don’t want to have to do the whole process again.

Please give your money to Gun Owners of America instead of the NRA. Until Wayne Lapierre is outed, I'd say you're wasting your money. Welcome to the forum.

I am not sure which ranges are currently open. There are several public ranges in the area some are indoor some outdoor. I would call and check their hours, if any.

With regards to getting a concealed weapons permit, I recommend contacting one of the national associations for concealed weapons carriers and discuss what options make the most sense in your situation.
