Hello everybody!

New member here from Eastside, a bridge apart from autonomous communist zone, formerly known as Seattle, USA:) Civilian, retired computer geek (if anybody need tips for improved OPSEC on internet, considering current cancel/doxxing threats). [Edited] Did a share of formal training with FAS for carbine and handgun long time ago, had a CPL but at some point stupidly let it expire (and now they closed CPL shop indefinitely). Have a Redding Turret setup, make my 45ACP plinking ammo, used to do my own "match" .223 - but feel lazy at the moment :) Current events prompted my renewed interest in training, 1A/2A issues and interest in making connection with likeminded people in the neighborhoods - and came across this great board. Hope to get know you all and learn.

Wishing you all to stay safe!

Alrighty. Don’t have to ask you to ask beginner questions.

Nice setup! Yes training is always good. For the impacting targets and for the soul.

A hell of an intro! Welcome!

Yeah, hopefully you'll be able to get your CPL soon . . . this is not right.

Thanks, guys, for a warm welcome! (With introductions made, the firearms list is edited out :) You know they have a database... :))
Not holding my breath for CPL , though :) Dems will milk pandemic to the end of times, imho... Not that it matters, their $50 loss... :)
Looking forward to donate though! (The way it goes we probably could consider to setup bitcoin account... :)

Thanks, guys!

Agree. Guns & fishing - make life precious :) I've just took 2 weeks off from all the crazy Marxist drama around Lake Washington to spend on peninsula at the beach house. Sunny, fishing sucks (sand near beach house is flat as parking lot, no structure to cast to, used to be good some other years), but got a couple for dinner today at low tide barefooted and feel very happy... And - yeah, joined a great guns board to spend late nights on... :)
