Just joined and wanted to say Hi.

HQL went active yesterday and hope to have it soon so I can pick up my new handgun.

Hope to learn a lot on this site.

Take care,

Steve

I bought a S&W M and P Shield 9mm from Tyler Firearms. Just waiting on the HQL card to arrive so I can head down and do the paperwork.

I also bought a 12gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun last April back when the riots were going on and now want to add some handguns as well.

I am a US Navy vet so my education in weaponry include CIWS and Sea Sparrow missiles on an aircraft carrier.

Shooting is new to me and I hope to learn a lot from this site and get my wife and I to the range as often as possible.

Thanks. I was at the HoCo gun show last weekend and spent some time talking to the MSI folks and took home some literature from them to read over.

I have also now joined the NRA so trying to get involved in all areas.

Welcome from Fort Meade.

An aircraft carrier would look good in Baltimore harbor.

I was on the USS America CV-66 which is now an artificial reef off the coast of Cape Hatteras.

Welcome from Baltimore. Be sure sure to register Dem so you can vote in the mayoral primary, it's the only way to throw the office in our favor...

Congrats on your new handgun. What'd you get?

Yep, I recommend this strategy for most of us that vote in heavily democrat or republican districts. Those where theres a decent balance, should probably stay with their actual party alignment.

Here in 'democrats only need to apply' Maryland, I'm a registered democrat, I do this for several reasons. Mostly because I get to vote in the democrat primary, so I can help get a more moderate dem on the ticket. I also like that it throws off the gerry-mandering that BOTH sides do! Makes it harder for them to use a computer and nullify my vote. Lastly, when I call my representatives and say I'm a registered democrat, in their district, a gun owner and a voter, I get a lot more attention than before when I would just say I was an independent.

I don't feel this is dishonest, because I am truly 'liberal' on most social issues, but very 'conservative' on financial and security issues. I have supported a couple moderate democrats and vote my conscious. I also don't try to switch parties right before an election, I've been a registered democrat for a few years now, hundreds or thousands of us have done this now.
