New to this Forum and Virginia!

Post by LiftShiftShoot »

Hey all!

I recently moved here from our communist neighbors in the East (Maryland), and am an avid firearms enthusiast. It is a MUCH different gun culture here in Virginia than in Maryland, and I have been surprised (pleasantly) by how fluod the process has been to purchase firearms. The days of HQL and 7 day waiting periods are over for me!

All in all, I don't have many friends in the area as of yet and don't get much free time to get out considering I commute to Maryland still for work about 40 miles each way (I love in Northern VA). Hoping this forum can be a new avenue upon which I can expand my social network and circle of friends. Im in my 20's so as one can expect, it's rather disconcerting moving to an area and only having a very small circle of friends.

Anyways, hopefully I can attend some events posted on this forum and meet some cool people. Take care.

Welcome to VA. Where in northern VA are you? There are a few of us here trying to resist the tide of anti-gunners. And now that you're a resident, go and get yourself a CCW permit!

Welcome to the forum and the neighborhood! We have a great group of folks here. I think you will. Have a good time.

I wonder if we can do a Christmas Meet and Greet at Elite. Hmmm. I'm going to look into that.

Welcome to VA. I lived in the People's Republic of MD for 10 years. The only thing I miss are the good people I met. Glad you were able to escape.

Im in Sterling for those of you who asked whereabouts I moved to. Chrrently waiting to have a tire changed on my car (lol) figured I'd respond! Luckily, I have an AZ CCW so Im covered, but am putting in my paperwork for my VA CHP within the next 24 hours (just for good measure). A Christmas meet and greet would be fun! I've been to Elite with my fiancé before and a buddy of mine who lives out here. Glad to see some folks from Maryland as well!

If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.

I live in Pa now but we are considering moving to Virginia in and around June 2016. We like the Massanutten area of Virginia.. We are Conservative, belong to the NRA, I hunt predators and have done for 29 + years now in Pa... Looking forward to bobcat hunting, coyote hunting, fox hunting etc.. I'm also into picking mushrooms in the wild.. I am going to need to know what do I have to do to be able to carry a hand gun in Va? I have a permit for Pa etc. Willing to do what I have to do to carry a concealed weapon in your state... I love to hunt with TC Encore long guns. do a lot of hunting with 17 cal centerfires and the new 17 WSMRF... quite upset that Pa and Va are doing this to law abiding gun carrying citizens.... I am a veteran of the U. S. Coast Guard and my wife is a veteran of the U. S. Navy... We are retired Civil Service employees of the Federal Government...
