Fleeing Yankee Nashville Bound

[Tinydane]

Hey everyone..just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm currently about 5 weeks out from completing our house sale here in New York and leaving this socialist corrupt state for good.  Can't wait to become a citizen of the great state of Tennessee.

My wife and i are moving down to the Nashville area and are really excited.  We're both shooters but have only been shooting for about 5 years now.  My wife actually just got her NRA instructor certification.

 

I look forward to getting to know some of the group and finding out some places to be able to shoot down around Nashville.  I was planning on getting into IDPA and hope to find some clubs that run those meets this summer.

Thanks in advance for any info and hospitality!

Fleeing? Why? Adverts all over tv down here saying how NY is so business friendly with 10 years of tax free bliss...On tv/Internet = true, right?

Thanks for all the friendly welcome wishes.

We're leaving Rochester (which is in western new york about an hour west of Syracuse and east of Buffalo.

We're going to rent an apartment initially (most likely in Smyrna as of now) and then depending on where we land with employment start looking for property in the general vicinity.  One of the big desires of coming down to TN is to get a good size piece of land and be able to shoot on property whenever we want (more or less).  My wife is also an avid ultra trail runner so she likes the thought of being able to run trails on our land as well in the future.

On a side note, i looked into getting our concealed carry permits for TN and it seems they don't recognize any of our previous NRA classes (including their safety course and basic pistol classes).  I thought that was odd.  But so be it I guess.  I was told we'll both still need to take the 8hr safety course.  Does anyone have a recommendation on where to take these and/or how often they run etc?

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Paul
