Hi all

Post by InspectorCallahan »

New to this forum after the Richmond gun show yesterday. I'm also new to the gun scene. I haven't shot a gun since I was a teenager, and just now am at the point where I can finally afford the expense of gun ownership. I bought a Ruger SR9c 9mm, and a Ruger LCP .380 recently. Not necessarily a Ruger buff, but I liked both guns best for the purposes they serve in their particular caliber best among all the other manufacturers.

I have been researching guns for a few months now and have learned a great deal, but still feel very naive. I joined the NRA, got the CHP, and am signed up to take a basic gun class this month with a well respected instructor here in the Richmond area.

Yesterday's gun show was awesome. I was able to get a few hundred bucks worth of .380 ammo (which is just about impossible to find these days) from various vendors by different manufacturers. I also picked up some really cool knives, a multi-tool by CRKT, a S&W tactical pen, and a NASTY stun gun at a rock bottom price. I spent a wad, but had a ball, and got what I wanted.

And, I'm not an Inspector. I just wanted a funny handle, and they wouldn't let me call myself "Dirty Harry". :wave:

Study up - there will be a test at SgtBill's this June, taken from Chapter 1 of your VGOF textbook (The Family Tree of Cartridges of the World). Be prepared to expound on the dimensions, characteristics and ballistics of your five (5) favorite cartridges. That will be all, class dismissed.


Wait a minute - we all do that anyway! :clap:
