Hi everyone! It’s so awkward writing one of these intro posts... so here I go. I’ve been lurking a bit soaking up the information and resources y’all have so kindly provided from firearms to updates on the current situation.... I may need to set a timer as I’ve gone down the proverbial rabbit hole more than once. Oh and the sense of humor I’ve found from many posters... two thumbs up!
I live in Essex County. I didn’t even remotely grow up around firearms... though I’m pretty sure my maternal grandfather may have had something stashed from his time in WW2... so fair warning, I’m still learning and most likely will ask rookie questions. I took my class last October, applied in December and just received my LTC in the mail Monday. I live in a red city, so it has restrictions... I wasn’t surprised as I’d been told such by others in my city, my instructor and this board. Is it realistic for a civilian to get law enforcement training? That is the bar the firearms issuing officer placed when I inquired as to removing restrictions in the future.
I tend to post in spurts then lay low, then post again. Look forward to seeing “you” around the forum!
