Nice forum.

I'll find a thread or subject to post my question. Was just trying to find information about joining a club to shoot indoors when weather is bad (looks like I can't unless I know someone?)

Anyhow, found myself reading through several threads here and after about 45 minutes learned some things and thought I'd join.

~Thanks

I enjoy shooting them all from the 9mm to the 45acp and 44 Magnum. My other interest is ham radio .I, like many of the people I talk to am worried what the present administration will try to do to our 2nd amendment rights. This is enough for a introduction.

Hi all, just wanted to tell everyone hello!

I am just a casual shooter, a little trap, and a little handgun, and I am in the process of getting my Sig P226 Platinum Elite out of lay away (as my wife lets me have the money ) and was doing some searching and came across this place again. I joined back in april, when I started looking for my sig, and forgot to bookmark the place.

I am here to stay now, I have already learned a lot!

Welcome to the forum from one NYCer to another! I left that hell hole 2 years ago. What precinct? We might know a few of the same people.

No kind of registration in PA. Welcome to freedom!

PA drivers license/PA id and that's it for purchase. Pass PICS and you're good to go!

I would also suggest applying for your LTCF at your county sheriffs office.

Again, welcome!

Michele covered it.

1. No registration in PA. Just bring your guns here and have a good time!
2. To buy any firearm from a Dealer, all you should need is a driver's license and money.
3. You will have to pass a PICS check.
4. You can buy a rifle from any PA resident without going through a dealer and a PICS check.

Welcome!

Rikers? Or one of the "houses"? (is Brooklyn house still closed?)
I know allot of NYC correction officers.

Welcome to the land of the free! If you like firearms and dislike insane laws your going to experience a large breath of fresh air. Nothing to register, no agencies to contact. Wanna long gun? FTF, person to person requires nothing more than an exchange, but many do recommend as a seller at least looking at ID. Handgun is just an instant check and 5 bucks away. I imagine your going to love your first purchase. Go in, pick one out, get PICed and leave with your new purchase. Oh yeah...gotta pay for it too.
