Another East Tennesseean

[Guest jammendolia]

Hello all, my name is Joe.

I actually joined a couple days ago, but am just now getting around to posting.

I'm originally from California, and have lived in Oak Ridge since late 2005. I do miss friends and such, but this move was the best thing I could've done for me and my kids, so I'll never look back! I love it here!

As for guns, I'm just getting started with my collection.

I carry a Springfield XDm 9mm which I love! And I picked up a stripped lower at the gun show in Knoxville last weekend, and plan to build my AR-15 over the next couple months (assuming I can ever find a parts kit for my lower)

And of course I have a list of other guns I hope to own in the near future money/wife permitting.

I love to shoot, and am always looking for people to shoot with, so let me know if there's anything local going on that I'd be welcome to get in on.

I also hope to join the ORSA at some point, but I need to find a sponsor. If anyone would be willing, please let me know!

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Welcome. I am in Middle TN (Clarksville) and moved back home from CA in 2005, also; my wife is a native southern CA girl but loves it here, because of the space we have and she actually likes seeing the four seasons.

Pretty part of the state you're in! If you're coming to middle-TN, put up a note; lots of folks from north to south part in the Middle (years ago, signs showed the three states of TN - west, middle, east).

Take care and enjoy,

Barry

Welcome to Oak Ridge. I see you belong to the NRA. ORSA counts that as a sponsor.
