This is Bill and Welcome! I needed a good FFL here in Florida. They are hard to find sometimes.
I want to wish you the greatest and hope you find what you are looking for. The USCCA needs
you.

Hey everyone,
I live in the Twin Cities and have been a permit holder since Minnesota became a “shall issue” state (around 2003, I think). Have also been a USCCA member for a long time (sorry that we let our membership go for a while, but recently renewed).
We belong to a local gun club and shoot there weekly. My family is originally from eastern Europe, so I have a special fondness for the CZ!

Here in California we are restricted to 10 round magazines also. They are also wanting to require background checks to purchase ammunition. I’ve lived in California since 1962 when my parents moved us here from Illinois. I’m leaving here soon for Arizona.

@Bruno Check out https://www.tacticalresponse.com. They’re based in Camden TN but teach all over the country. Take a look at the schedule (Training Schedule – Tactical Response) on their website and you can see if there is something that will work for you.
Let me know if you have any further questions!

Hello to the members of the community.
My name is Boyd and I live in the Shenandoah Valley, which is a great place for hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. I’m in my early 70’s and don’t do much hunting anymore because sitting in a tree stand all day and dragging a deer out of the woods is something I physically can’t do any more. I retired and now spend a lot of time at the range punching holes in pieces of paper and have recently taken up long range precision shooting. I’m an avid reloader and get a lot of satisfaction at working up a load and creating a ragged hole in a target at 300 yards, which is the longest range where I’m a member.
I am a life member of the NRA and have had my CCW license for 10 years and carry every day. I just joined USCCA and am very happy to be part of this group especially if the unthinkable occurs.
I’m looking forward to having some great conversations with this community.

Brandon - thank you for your service! You’ll find a bunch of veterans and a ton of like-minded individuals here!
Boyd, we’ve got a thread on How do you start to reload target ammo? if you’d care to share your input!
Hope you all dive in and have great conversations!

Thank you very much. People have to be introduced to arm personal, slowly,
but positively.
Thank you,

I have the utmost respect for our country’s older generations, especially veterans! With age comes wisdom!!! Younger people can learn a lot from older wiser people.

Welcome Boyd. I too am in my early 70’s. I used to go hunting as a kid with my grandpa and uncles when I lived in Illinois. I have my grandpa’s 12 gauge shot gun that he gave me before he passed away. Miss going hunting.

Howdy! I joined the USCCA a few months ago on the advice of a good friend,. I carry pretty much anytime I walk out of the front door. Just found this forum today, so… I try to take a class from a different trainer every year, have been remiss the last couple of years, looking to start doing that again. Looking forward to chatting with you.
