New Folks Check In and Say Hi #4

[Mike-Mike]

Long time lurker. Joined GOAL recently even though I'm from the Free State of New Hampshire and realized it was time to go green as well. I recently took the GOAL course on Massachusetts Firearms Laws. Don't know how you Mass residents stand it... In the words of the instructor for that course, only in the Commonwealth is spice, pepper spray, considered ammunition...

Please move up across the border. I live only one mile north of the Commonwealth/NH border, but what a difference a mile makes.

Welcome Dorff. You will be in good company here. Plenty of MA transplants and those looking to be.

Hi folks. Second post but long time lurker here. Received my LTC-A in metro west back in December and appreciate the great info on here. Made the trip up to Manchester Firing Line before buying anything, went with the good folks at FS for my first buy (Glock 17) and today picked up a Gen 4 G26, which I can't wait to try out. Recently applied to Wayland and am hoping voters see the light on the April vote. Thanks for all the fantastic info here.

Hello and welcome Joseb,

Some great first purchases, you will be sure to enjoy those for years to come. Glad to see you getting active on the board here. See you in the discussions.

Hi guys,

New to the forum (just registered today) but I've been on here reading for a while now. I live in one of the neighborhoods of Boston, just applied for my LTC yesterday, passed the Moon Island test this morning. Licensing officer said it would be a 4 month wait, range guys said 6 months... I'm hoping it's the former of course

I grew up occasionally shooting rifles and shotguns, once my LTC (restricted of course) arrives I plan to buy a 9mm and get some range time in

Welcome to the site Josh,

Glad you decided to member up and make a post. Hope that your license process goes quick and smooth and you can be out shooting shortly. Continue enjoying the forum and hope to see you get active in the discussions.

Also please consider donating to COMM2A, GOAL, GOA and other Pro-2nd organizations to keep up the good fight.

 

[browncoat]

I plan to join GOAL and the NRA soon. Thanks for the welcome! I too hope that the license process goes quick, but I think there is little chance of that at this point :/

Just stay positive and be patient. Wishing you the best through the wait.

Hi All,

Been trolling around the forum more and more lately, and figured I'd finally say Hi.

I'm finding NES a great site to start for any questions that have been coming up. Can usually find my answers without having to post my question.
I've been licensed since I was legally able to, (old school FID at first) LTC A now.
Look forward to loosing many more hours reading here.

Thanks,
Dave

Hey everyone. My name is john. Just received my LTC-A in carver. Been lurking for a month or two. Hoping to learn as much as I can from all the knowledgable people on here. Get to know some of you. Have yet to buy my first firearm probably 9mm any suggestions ? My wife is also looking for an EDC probably .380.

Thanks all for the help

Hey John. Welcome. Buy what you like, and what you're comfortable shooting. You'll get a million different suggestions as to what is better here. As for your wife's .380, Sig makes a few that she would probably like. I summer carried a P232 .380 for awhile and loved it. Just be prepared for the .380 haters to start their schtick. I'd rather see a woman carry a .380 that she's competent with, than one trying to be proficient with a 9 or a 40 that she's not comfortable with.

Hello all,

Just received my LTC class A in the mail today. Very excited been waiting a long time.
In the Boy Scouts I shot many .22lr rifles, and shotguns. While living in Cali hooked up with a friend that did a lot of shooting and got introduced to handguns, and lever action rifles.
I currently only have one rifle the Excel Accelerator .22 magnum rifle.

http://www.jeepforum.com/gallery/data/4/medium/IMG_1996.JPG
I am looking to get an inexpensive HD shotgun, like a Savage Stevens 320, or the Mossberg Maveric 88. Later on me and my father in law want to build from scratch and AR-15.

 

[Obie1]

Welcome, guys. Enjoy the fun.

Hello and welcome John,

Opinions are a plenty here but I don't think you could go wrong with a Glock 19, Ruger SR9c, or other mid to small size semi 9mm.

Hello kmbarreiros,

Thanks for making an introduction. You will be in good company here. Congrats on the new license… I prefer the Remington 870 and they can be had pretty cheap used.

Hello everyone new guy checking in.

My name is Dan and i'm currently waiting for my class A permit. I'm new to shooting and hope to be a new 1911 owner very soon. Friend from work told me about this website and from what I've seen so far I'm very impresed with all the useful information on this site.

Newbee Check-in

Greetings and salutations,

My Name is Paul and I received my Class A, LTC about a month ago. I moved to Massachusetts about 17 years ago and got my FID in 30 days as required. About 2 years after that, I was made an outlaw by the commonwealth when new "Gun Control" laws went into affect. Because my job entailed a great deal of travel back then I did not know when I might be able to apply for a license and it took many years for me to get around to it. In addition, taking my guns to my brothers place in Alamogordo, NM to be put in locked storage kept them "out of sight, out of mind". He recently had to down size because of the Government's furloughs and sequestering of employees (he works for U.S. Army on Helicopters and Drones), so I had to retrieve my firearms. This forced me to get my license. Luckily it was fairly painless.

I have owned firearms since I was 22 and all of them were purchased in California before the liberals took over. Now you are hard pressed for find a gun dealer at all.

Anyway, I digress. I am pretty much set on guns, there are a few more I would like to purchase, but I find that I have only one that I would consider a Conceal Carry; the rest are too large. So I will be in the market for a smaller handgun. The one I have is a Colt Mk IV/ Series '80 Gov't model .380 Auto; all blued steel.

I look forward to some good discussions and some of the "get-together" activities. I am sending in my check (no really) to pay for a membership.

Hello Dan,

Glad to have you posting here. Thank you for showing support so quickly and going Green. I am personally from the camp that everyone should own at least one 1911. May you enjoy your time here and get your LTC soon.

[Texas Expat]

What's up guys! I moved to North Central Mass a handful of years ago from the Republic of Texas. My wife and I received our Class A LTC licenses back in November 2013. It was a painless process other than the fact it took 3.5 months from application to receiving our licenses. There is quite a culture and legal difference here compared to my 'home country'. LOL. Nice to be part of this site; there is definitely a lot of information here in which to learn. Cheers!

Hey hey,
Nice to meet yall. I've been living in MA just about my entire life, save a short stint in the Army ages ago. I had an LTC for ALP but let it lapse. I was in need of some legal aid to renew/reapply and made the mistake of contacting a local, now banned, "legal expert" who is well known for a famous interview. I wish this forum had come up when I looked for info on this guy way back when! So far the forum has been very helpful and I'll be contacting Jason Guida shortly. Wish me luck.

Hi all, Andrew here. Had been lurking for a while (about to apply for LTC in Chelsea so I found a ton of useful info) but met "voidoid" over at r/guns and he convinced me to sign up!

I've been shooting for about 15 years (always with borrowed gear) and am looking forward to owning my own firearms in the near future!

Also a new GOAL member and pitched in a bit to COMM2A so I feel like I'm off to a good start -- just need my license now.

Happy to be here and looking forward to getting to know the community.
