Hey guys and gals, happy to have finally joined. I'm a long time gun owner, though I haven't bought any handguns since that HQL nonsense because I'm not a criminal and thus I refuse to be fingerprinted as though I were one.
Still, I do have a few handguns, though the bulk of what I've got is long guns. I joined this forum to get to know some other shooters, and hopefully find someone with property that legally allows firearm use.
I'm in Montgomery County in Wheaton, so my shooting options are few, and the options I have are, let's face it, kinda ********. On Target pistol range, you have ignorant nobodies breathing down your neck, same deal with the nearest NRA range, at least in my experience. Machine Gun Nest out in Frederick is full of cool people, but they have a couple ******** rules that I'm too much of a stingy guy to deal with, like if you accidentally shoot the wrong thing, that's $100 out of your pocket. Not the best place to take a gun you've never fired before, obviously, which my wallet learned quickly.
The closest place for me to shoot openly and where I can take my time and learn without some ******* breathing down my neck is Green Ridge State Forest which is just too damn far for regular shooting. I'd like to find a place I could go somewhat regularly so I can actually train rather than going once or twice a year with a group just to plink downrange.
Anyhow, I reckon I'm a pretty friendly guy. Feel free to say hi or give suggestions. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Thanks for having me.
