Welcome to the Community! Please Introduce Yourself

Hello all,

I’m Dwain from the Memphis TN area and will be that crazy number kids are so excited about on my next birthday. I’ve carried a Ruger .380 in my pocket for a few years now but feel it is time to step up my protection level. No formal training but have hit the range a few times and use a dry fire system during the winter months. I generally read this community’s comments without commenting because I know my experience level is still growing. Crazy fact is that I won a gun give away check a couple of years back from USCCA. Looking forward to learning from your posts and comments.

Welcome to the Community :handshake:

My first advice - try to be an active Member. Discuss, ask questions and comment.

Don’t be the reader only. With active discussion you gain knowledge, which is as just important as skills.

Thanks Don. I just finished part 2 of my 16-hour CCW training course, so I should get my permit in a few weeks. I’m planning to carry with an IWB holster on my hip (3:30), so I have been wearing it around the house to get used to it. I am also debating wether to get a red dot sight or just stick with the iron sights on my MP Shield.

This platform seems to mis-flag initial posts if the post includes a link.

I don’t know how many posts it takes to gain “trust” level nor if that is the problem with your 1st post, but maybe …

Hi @Tom242,

I feel your pain. I left SoCal in 2022 but was able to get my CCW permit before leaving. I was in a very 2A friendly county. The Sheriff wanted to equip as many law abiding citizens as possible. It still took seven months and almost $500 to get my permit. Then I had to give it back when I left. CA has no reciprocity with anybody. I would shoot and train at Burro Canyon and Lytle Creek. Blessings to you.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
