Hey guys! (and gals)

[Guest Victor9er]

I'm a total noob here... New to the forums. New to guns. New to Tennessee. Be gentle

I moved up here with my wife and kids just last October. So far, we have enjoyed living in Chatt-town. I had never owned a gun before (aside from a 410 shotgun that I used only a handfull of times as a kid). My wife and I had taken a handgun course many moons ago but never got around to actually buying one (that was the first and only time I had ever fired a handgun). It's been something I've thought about off and on from time to time over the years and... well, I finally bought my first gun about two months ago, and also got my HCP a few weeks later.

So here I am, a new gun owner and glad to be a part of this forum. Thanks for having me!

Welcome!

Welcome! What gun did you choose? Also, its great to get the wife involved and with her own HCP, and when the kids are mature enough, make some range time a family event. Nothing feels better than knowing your wife can defend herself and the kids when you are not there. Chatt is blessed with some nice indoor and outdoor ranges and some great stores/shops and is a great town esp. for a gun owner.

Thanks, I ended up getting the Glock 19... after holding almost every gun that the salesman had in his case it felt the most comfortable to me. Also it had everything that I was looking for in a gun.... I've put about 300+ rounds through it so far and I'm very happy with it. (I keep the Speer Gold Dots loaded for my self defense rounds.) I've been frequenting the range at Shooter's Depot where I bought my gun. Very pleased with their service.

Welcome and congrats on the G19. That was my first one, but you're already 10 years ahead of me, as I was a new shooter and owner just two years ago. Enjoy!

I shoot there as well, 3+ times a week. Its a nice facility and friendly service. Their gunsmith is good as well. I had a 19, its a find choice. Maybe I will see ya there =)

Cool, maybe I'll see you guys there! I haven't had a chance to make it out there the last couple of weeks, I need to get back out and shoot again soon. I try to go to the range once a week if I can.
