Hi everyone,
Thought I'd give a quick intro, being a new member. I've been reading threads here and on a few other forums. Not really new to the gun scene, got my FID about 7 years ago. Been hunting with the shotgun since then with varying success (mostly waterfowl and some upland). Living North of Worcester for the past 5 years has made me appreciate the outdoors a bit more. Coming from the city, it is a big change. I still make the trek once in a while for entertainment and for a good meal.
Anyway, I just submitted an application for LTC-A ALP in my town and just awaiting their response back. I suspect it will take another 3-4 weeks. The application process didn't seem as difficult as what I have read here. Must be the town or I must have did something wrong. Any case, I'll just wait a few weeks and call them for a status.
The next things on my agenda if and when my license comes thru is to 1) find a range or join a local club and 2) to find a nice Glock 23 without breaking the bank and getting proficient in it's usage. I've rented a few pistols in the past just to try out. For some reason, I don't shoot 9mm all that well but the .40 I seem to do much better. Haven't tried any .45's yet.
I'm thinking one weekend I'll bring the wife with me to the S&W range in Springfield and give that a go. 25 bucks to rent including a box of ammo and target sounds reasonable.
