New Folks Check In and Say Hi #4

[Aggle]

Hey folks,

I've been lurking for a while but decided it was about time to start participating. I recently applied for my LTC in a green town after completing the basic course at MFS (nice place). I've learned quite a bit here already just by browsing... certainly looks like the place to hit for a lively debate

 

[Dirtypacman]

Welcome atd242,

Wishing you the best through the LTC process. Plenty of others members local to you so your in good company.
Enjoy the forum and look forward to seeing you in the discussions.

Hello, I have been reading posts for the past six months and decided it was time to register today. I have recently applied for my Class A in a green town, and am anxiously waiting to hear back. I am new to shooting, so I have been taking a few training courses at MFS and Sig Academy. This site has been very helpful in answering many of my questions. Being a new shooter, living in the Peoples Republic of Mass I had and will have a lot of questions. Looking forward to making my first purchase(s).

Welcome. Just curious, are you a fan of Guns N Roses?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Hello and welcome to our newest Mr. Brownstone and Plinius,

Glad to have you both posting. Plinius thank you for your support of the forum by going green as a paid member. As to the hunting as I just finished my basic hunter and got my license start looking now for a class or next season sign up early - space goes fast. Mr. Brownstone I have heard great things about Sig Academy I am sure they are teaching you well.
Hopefully you will both consider joining GOAL and donating to COMM2A to help the good fight here in MA.

Enjoy the forum

Thank you PacMan. Have joined GOAL and NRA. I plan on going green and contributing to COMM2A once I am able to make a few purchases and get caught up from Lawyer/training/gun-range/donation to Commonwealth General Fund. This is a very expensive new endeavor!

Welcome. Just curious, are you a fan of Guns N Roses?

Blitz1. Huge Guns N' Roses fan. I own a couple of Slash Signature amplifiers and Les Pauls.
Now I have this new firearms obsession that I can learn all about, spend endless hours on web researching the best and baddest new thing, and probably come to the same conclusion that I did with the guitar. Great gear may help, but only practice will make you any good.

Hello all. New to the board so I wanted to drop by the thread and say hi. From north of Boston and just getting started with my prep for the LTC. This has been an unbelievable resource. Thanks to all who are generous with their knowledge!

 

[Dirtypacman]

Hey Mudfish,

Glad to hear the forum has already been useful for you. Once you get your license (hope its quick and smooth for you) I am sure it will be used even more. Consider becoming a green paid member and supporting our local Pro-2nd organizations like GOAL and COMM2A. Thanks in advance.

I notice you are an Appleseed Instructor. Two of the guys I have been to the range with have been on an Appleseed Shoot. They speak very highly of it. Once licensed, it is on the top of my list. One of my buddies says he will even take it again because he got so much out of it the first time.

Great to hear, but why wait? Most of the instructors and IITs have a spare .22 kicking around. Just PM the shoot boss (or post in the Appleseed Rifle Training forum here or in the Massachusetts forum on www.appleseedinfo.org and ask if someone can have a loaner.

Looking forward to seeing you on the line!

That's great to know! I thought you needed to be licensed, at least FID, to participate. Thanks for the tip! I'll let you know when I do, so I can introduce myself.

Hello everyone. New to the forum, found it while searching for info on guns in MA and like others have said, I already find it a HUGE resource. Now that I am 21, I am going to be applying for my LTC-A in a RED South Shore town of MA, so I'm looking most likely at a "target & hunting" restriction. I got to say I have learned a TON of info in the last few weeks of reading these forums and am glad I found this site.

Welcome to NES and good luck with your LTC. The good news is that you are young enough to move to a Green town!!

Hello and Welcome PublicSafety,

I too wish you the best on the LTC process. Sorry to hear you live in one of those "red" towns. Consider donating to several of the pro-2nd organizations to help with the good fight: GOAL and COMM2A.

Hello from Western MA.......I was referred to your site by a friend (Big wave). I was so impressed with the wealth of wonderful information on this forum, that I decided to go green and support it! Wish this was around 20 years ago when I had got my LTC!

Welcome fellow Wmass er. Go green we are having a meet and greet soon at the Springfield Armory and dinner.
Good to have more members west of theCT

Hi everyone. Found this site while searching for local gun clubs. I am what you would call a novice, so I am very open to help and advice. I have been qualified for my LTC and I am just waiting for my physical permit to arrive so I can make my first purchase. There is a ton of information here that I am trying to take in, and luckily I do forums for a living, so I will be spending plenty of time here.

[Scarecrow]

Hello everyone,

New owner from RI, I have had a Remington 870 Express pump .410 for almost 2 years, but just made the leap into handguns when my fiancee and myself got each other handguns for our 5th anniversary. She has a Ruger SR40C .40, I elected to get a .45 ACP Colt 1911 National Match on an Essex frame with an adjustable match grade trigger. I have done a bit of research, but I am always learning, and I want to eventually build a 1911 from the ground up(but where would I possibly find resources knowledgeable in colt 1911's? Those things are rare!) but I am a long ways away from that. If this forum is as good as it appears on the surface, I will be going green shortly. Looking forward to siphon as much knowledge off you all as I can!

Hello Scarecrow,

Welcome to NES and thank you for your service. I am glad you found the site and are becoming more active in the different shooting disciplines. There is plenty of knowledge and a bunch of wonderful folks on the board. Hope you come to enjoy it as much as the rest of us.

At long last... finally a NES'er and a green one to boot!
I've been lucky to hear about NES from Mike (GOAL is lucky to have him) Sweeney, and my main squeeze. Now I am just wondering how many late night hours I will spend on here

So looking forward to making some new friends and letting you all know where I stand on issues here in the People's Republic of MA. Unfortunately for those sitting on Beacon Hill I am PRO-2A and pro doesn't mean I blow hot air about "guns"... I have had my LTC for >12y, I am adamant about our constitutional rights, and I am ANGRY at how those legislators have eroded our freedoms and limited our options using fear tactics and baseless statistics.

We have a winnable race in the 4th Middlesex against an incumbent voted in on the heels of the Mazilli scandal (groped a woman and got caught... scum!). This guy is chair of the state admin & regulatory committee, I can't wait to share what he's been up to... and just as a teaser he's part of this new "transparency" initiative Beacon Hill just started and NATURALLY how did they kick it off...? By meeting BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!

Just like my signature says I'm all around conservative, I love my country dearly, and I am going to kick some serious butt in the next legislative session!
