Hello from Johnson City

[Guest thebeast09]

My name is Chris from Johnson City, over by ETSU. I am a current student at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville TN and have just recently started the process for a Tennessee Carry Permit. A friend pointed me in this groups direction and I have been using it to get aquatinted with different guns and know the community. 

 

I'm not stranger to firearms, I have grown up on a non-working farm and have shot in my back yard since I was little. I don't know much about the different brands or types of firearms (factual type knowledge) but that is my goal through this forum and other research as well. (For anyone who is interested I am looking at a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm as a carry gun; feel free to share why that is a good or bad decision)

 

My hobbies are woodworking, computers and programming, hiking, and just anything with my hands more or less.

 

I look forward to getting to know you all more in the future!

Welcome to TGO.

The M&P 9 is a great weapon that would serve anyone well. My only advice is, buy the gun and a good holster and belt. Practice drawing and shooting to the point where you feel safe and proficient. And you don't have to wait for the permit test to start practicing.
