New Folks Check In and Say Hi #4

[Leatherneck5496]

Hello all,

My name is Shawn and I'm living in Quincy right now. I discovered NES while searching for Mass. laws.
I've been shooting since I was a kid when my grandfather was the president at Swift River Gun Club. I am also a former Marine 0351 so I have fired a variety of weapons and in general have a great respect for firearms and some knowledge of different guns. I am an NRA member and soon to be a supporter here.

I'm a family man so it has become more and more important, especially in recent years to protect my family and myself. I will be working towards a Class "A" license and the purchase of a pistol and a rifle, probably an AR, M4, AK or similar. I don't know why I didn't start earlier in life other than being consumed with work and life in general. I look forward to learning more and getting to know everyone here.

Hello all,


I'm a family man so it has become more and more important, especially in recent years to protect my family and myself.

This was my reason to re-kindle my interest in firearms. Welcome to NES !

Hola coma estas?

Hello everyone,

My name is Bob, I live in Dracut, I found NES while researching Ma gun laws. I have picked up a lot of good information from all of the users already. My Wife and I took the class last weekend and requested our appointments from the Dracut P.D.

I am wondering if there is anyone on the boards from Centralville Sportsman club, or could make any recommendations it looks like a nice place and is fairly close to home.

Looking forward to making many new friends.

Hello Bob welcome to the board,

Very happy to see you and the wife are both going for your licenses. You could do a search on the board about Centralville Sportmans but it is not one I am familiar with. I know Shirley, Westford, and Harvard are places I have been happy shooting at. Hopefully you will get your LTC's without issue and be able to get out there and get some shooting in. Enjoy the site!

[bips357m]

Hello-just thought I'd introduce myself. I live in MD, grew up in upstate NY and used to visit the Cape for vacation years ago. May be coming to MA for an extended visit and maybe a move. Gun laws scare me though. I friend told me this was a good place to get legal info for the area. What I can bring, what I can own or buy and sell etc. A lot to learn. I tried browsing the the WTB and FS areas and was not allowed to reply to any ads, possibly too new? Anyway, hope to be a regular visitor to the site before my trip to MA and NE. Just a target shooter these days in my old age, no more hunting.

Hi from John in Woburn,

I found about this forum from Lance(no trucks allowed) He delivered a generator to my house and we bonded insantly. Great guy.

I have watched this site for about 1 month but have never posted. I have collected pinball machines for several years and have decided to take on a new hobby.

Both me and my wife Ann have applied and are waiting for our LTC's to go through the process.

Thanks,
john

Hi, I'm Harley from Athol. Just got my LTC-A a few months ago, only own a 10/22 for knocking off some predators on my little farm and general plinking. Came here looking to learn from some experienced gun owners. There is more knowledge here than I even expected! Above and beyond that is the camaraderie and willingness to help shown in almost all posts. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon this forum.

Hey derek! Name here is Paul and I live in Holliston. A gun friendly town, even have a gun shop, Holliston Firearms. Was involved in firearms back in the late 60's and sold them all when the kids came. Big mistake! If I had only known!! A small fortune to replace now! But anyway, now my kids are licenced, and I'm back into it, and having some fun! Something to do for the over 60 crowd when it gets bored!! I've been on the forum for a bit looking around and find it is quite a place for info! I enjoy being here! Especially where I am looking into carrying and researching the like. We also have Mass Firearms in town so I have the best of both worlds. Thanks for your work on this forum and the others who make it possible! Look forward to further research and communication with Northeast Shooters! BTW, my brother-in-law is a Distinguished Rifleman. I see you are! Nice work my friend!!

 

[pauly]

New from Holliston

Welcome to NES! New folks should check in here and say HI!

Tell us about yourself...Where you live, your firearms experience, and how you found Northeastshooters! Thanks!

Hello all,
Moved to a red town (yeah yeah, RED, I've got a restricted to "hunting" LTC-A to prove it) recently and just getting interested in hunting/shooting. I had the pleasure to shoot a friend's shotgun at a trap shooting event and I did pretty good, hooked! Looking for a decent shotgun as I have $400 Cabelas gift card burning a hole in my pocket.

I'm planning on joining a club for events as my family life settles down a little.

Hello Harley,

Everyone should have a 10/22 so that was a great purchase. I have one of the standard wooden stocks and even the fancy take-down version. Hope you can enjoy the site as much as the rest of us and thanks for the support by going green. Enjoy!

Hello BulletHead,

You can't go wrong with a Remington 870 - you really can't! That will keep you within your budget. I would be more then happy to let you shoot mine if you wanted a try before you buy. HSC is the place and we can make it happen, pm if interested. OTher than that glad to have you here and hopefully see you in the discussions further. Enjoy!

Hi all, I'm Karl from North Adams. I believe I ran acroos your website through a link at Four seasons. I've been shooting since childhood and really enjoy all types of firearms. I enjoy reading the forums and they have helped in the decision for my latest acquisition, A Shield in .40. I can't wait to get out and try it. LTC A, S&W 4516, 686+1, Colt target .22, numerous long guns. Again great site. Thanks.

 

[jeldridge8541]

Just had my interview yesterday 10 years marine corps I hope it really doesn't take 12 weeks like they said

[Shotshell]

Hey Everyone, just joined. I'm from the Foxboro/Mansfield, MA area looking for a good place to shoot. I recently got my LTC-A and currently only shoot at a cabin up in northern Maine (too far). I'm glad to have found this forum, it looks like a wealth of info.

Hello and welcome Shotshell,

You better stop shooting at that cabin or all the holes will make your stays there cold in the winter... ok that was not funny.
Enjoy the site and look forward to seeing you in the discussions.

Hello and welcome In2net,

Glad to hear your interview went smooth. He is not a really nice guy if he is restricting your rights by the restrictions. Could be nice to deal with but he is stomping on your rights by doing so. Sorry to go off like that but I just want to set the record straight when it comes down to licensing officers and what is considered acceptable. All just my opinion of course.

Now that I got that off my chest lol. I am sure you will enjoy the forum and the discussions. You have some exciting choices ahead of you with the purchase and membership!

If you want to help with the Good fight please consider donating to GOAL and COMM2A - thanks!

I agree 100% ... I mean imagine you actually had a reason to fear and needed protection. You would be better off moving in less time.

 

[dragline45]

Always visited the forum here and there and I post over on Thefiringline so I figured hey why not. I currently travel back and forth from the Boston area and Cape Cod and was lucky enough to be issued a Class A Unrestricted. I am a big supporter of concealed carry and do so daily. I try shoot pretty much weekly, mostly rimfire since I got college loans to payback, but I like to get some rounds through my carry gun at least a couple times a month to stay familiar with them. I'm interested in all types of firearms from black powder revolvers to modern poly guns, pretty much anything that goes bang I'm all for. After shooting pretty much anything I can get my hands on and constantly buying and selling I'm starting the process of trading/selling off all my handguns for DA/SA platforms. Sig 232 and 239 are up there for my next to buy, followed by either a 226 or Beretta 92. Pretty much getting rid of my DAO and striker fired guns. Looking forward to being a member of the forum, especially one where other members can relate to the hassle of being a firearms enthusiast in Massachusetts, so many guns out there I want but cant have .

Hello and welcome dragline45,

Thanks for coming on in and giving a little bit about yourself. Sounds like you will be a fine addition. Plenty of others to discuss all good things guns. Face to face sales are your friend when looking for the hard to find guns in MA, just be prepared to spend the money when you find them. Enjoy and be safe.

 

[SpMan]

I'm new here, from Springfield, MA and I just got my Class A with restrictions. Just wanted to say Hello to everyone here.

 

[winter]

Well I have been on the forum for a couple months and forgot to say hi. I am unfortunately new to Worcester, MA, as I moved down from Maine. I have applied for my LTC-A ALP through Worcester Police Department and well I am not going to say I am waiting for it to come.. but instead I am proactively seeking it.

I have been shooting since I was 10, so just over 16 years now, and love everything that goes boom! Though I kind of fancy Glock, Kimber, Remington, and S&W revolvers.

I joined GOAL and plan on joining Comm2A and the Worcester Pistol and Rifle Club

I will be starting IPDA as soon as I get my LTC and possibly 3 gun if I ever get around to buying an AK or building an AR.

So I will look forward to seeing some of you guys on the range!

Hello SpMan,

Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear you were issued A with no restriction. Plenty of western Ma folks on the board. Hope you will find yourself comfortable enough to join in the discussions. Enjoy!

School and work... you know.. money. Cause good paying jobs is the one thing that Maine does have in short supply.
