New member in Arlington

As my handle denotes I am from Colorado, transplanted a few months ago for graduate school. I am getting my master's degree in Statecraft and National Security at The Institute of World Politics.

I enjoy camping, backpacking, off-roading, reviewing technology, and shooting :)

I will be getting married in May back west and will be moving to a new place in NOVA (suggestions accepted)

Currently I am driving down to Sharpshooters range to practice and keep sharp. While the facilities are adequate, the attitude is typical of gun elitists.

Just be sure to wear your EOTAC gear and you'll be fine :roll:

Welcome,

depending on how far you are from Rt 66, you can shoot down to Fairfax to the NRA Range

Yeah, I want to head over there at some point (hopefully this week!) I perused the Dulles gun show last week and bought 1000 rds of 9mm I have been dying to try out.

I have a question. I am trying to sell/trade my Ruger SR9 for a Glock 19 or 17. Problem is, I still have a Colorado drivers license. Is there anyway around a FTF sell here?

You are not trying to find "a way around" a FTF sale. That just makes it sound sketchy. :)

If you are now a Va resident, having a Va DL would be nice, but not a requirement. If you can show some other documentation that you are now a Va resident, like a lease or rental agreement, you should be ok (just my opinion). Then just verify that the other person is a Va resident as well.

I realized that sounded a bit sketchy when I said it. Obviously I meant nothing illegal or anything. Thanks for your help! Take a look at my Ruger over in "For Sale/ Trades" if you are interested.
