Hello all, I am in my mid 40's. Originally from Florida but lived here in Bartlett for about 5 years. I've been seriously wanting to get into guns now that I don't drink anymore. I've always had the know that it wasn't a good idea to own a gun while I got hammered more days a week than not. 

 

   I've been living with my sister here because of a back injury but will be getting a place of my own in October and then taking the proper steps in finding the correct firearm(s). I have a job lined up and once I get this motorcycle sold, I should be good to get started. I plan on going to Range USA for some safety classes and eventually for HCP. I've been reading and researching a lot on the proper/safe ways to get started. My passion seems to be aiming me towards semi-auto pistols. 

 

  I can hardly wait to get the intro to handguns class under my belt, start renting guns and find the right one for me but luckily for me, I have always been a patient person.

 

   I am also very interested in reloading as a hobby and ofc to save money. I have been doing some research on this and it seems like a brass ton of fun and again with proper safety and training.

 

   Well for starters, this is me in a nutshell and again am looking forward to joining this friendly and helpful community. I'll be more than happy to answer/reply to any questions or comments you all have for me.  :usa:

 Welcome to the forum from Tipton County, glad to see another member from this end of the state.

 

I recommend that you do a ton of research before jumping into reloading. You'll find that you  have to do a LOT of shooting to offset the price of loading equip.
