Introducing... Me.

[Guest Russell]

Hello everyone,

I've been reading the forums for a few months, although more frequently the last few weeks. I'm 24, married with a 4 month old, living in the Smyrna area. I had taken the carry class twice before but wasn't able to complete the process due to lack of funds. I completed my armed guard class at APPS in December, and today finished my carry application using that as my proof of training.

I purchased my first pistol for that class. A S&W M&P 9mm after a lot of research and firing various models. The wife got me all kinds of accessories for Christmas so I'm ready for my letter and permit to show up, hopefully in the next 2 weeks.

Other stuff... I'm also a volunteer firefighter, a bit of a techy, ham radio operator, amateur (although serious) storm chaser. Basically if it's cool I like to play with it. Probably where the 4mo old came from...

I've seen a lot of good posts and advice on here so far and look forward to contributing in the future as I learn. Thanks all.

Welcome to TGO. Lots of good stuff here. I know you'll enjoy it.

But I must warn you that you'll wind up spending more time here than you expected, and it will cost you money for guns and accessories you didn't know you needed.

So be prepared!
