Come visit me at the NRA range

ken792 · Feb 2, 2015

Since I now work at the NRA, I'll be using the range a number of times a week. I figure it's a good way to wait out the crappy traffic before driving home.

So I'll be there on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I'll probably be in for half an hour out of my lunch break around 12:30 or so. Then, I'll also be shooting at 5:15PM or so for an hour or two.

So, when are you moving here?

Hopefully soon. The commute sucks and there are a lot of things I want to buy.

What are you doing for the NRA? Dream job?

Right now I work as an intern for NRA-ILA Grassroots Division. Hopefully I can get a full time job here in the near future.

Damn, that's what I was thinking

So how are they to work for so far?

That is hella cool dude, congrats! Do you get free range time?

Screw the free range time. Do you get free ammo?

Three hours a week: you'll need a progressive press.

Amazing. Most everyone carries at work, everyone has politics similar to mine, the people are super nice, the cafeteria has great food for cheap etc.

Thanks! Yes, free range time.

For now, I'm just budgeting myself for 50 rounds of handgun ammo a day, haha. I also shoot on weekends at my usual range in MD, so that requires ammo too. I have about two weeks left of .38 Special, but I'll need to load way more of that and .45 ACP.

Some guys step in dog doo, others come up with gold! Congrats to you.

I wanted to work there but their IT department doesn't have much in the way of turnover so it's unlikely to happen. If you get a full-time paid job there, don't move to Fairfax County. Prince William or Loudoun has better places to live for less money.

Good luck..

ken792 · Feb 4, 2015

I was told that I might be working 2A Tuesday in Annapolis, so see you guys there.

NO doubt. I wanted to kill myself daily when I worked in Herndon.

ken792 · Feb 9, 2015

So for anyone going to 2A Tuesday tomorrow, I'll be working at the NRA rally. Look for the Asian guy wearing an MD flag tie.

Good luck to you, I hope things work out. There's one thing I wish the NRA would help organize more in VA and other states is the local Member's Councils like they have in CA where I had lived before.

I got selected for a nice full time position in ILA. I'm looking to move down to VA very soon, probably Ashburn. If anyone is shooting at the NRA range, feel free to post here. I'll try to make time to meet people from MDS.

Congratulations. I shoot at the NRA Range. I'll let you know the next time I go. Welcome to Loudoun County (if you move to Ashburn).

Congratulations, we appreciate your support.

ken792 · Apr 30, 2015

Thanks guys. Any suggestions on places to live?
