Thanks DanP,
I moved to Pike Co.[Milford] about 9 years ago from the Communist state of N.J..
All of the years that I had lived in N.J. left me with a bad taste in my mouth as far as the ownership of weapons/firearms. After serving my country for 4 years with the 82nd Airborne and then returning home, I wanted to become a LEO. A friend of mine, [a LEO ] suggested getting on with the town auxiliary force to get an idea of what one would go through as a LEO. During my 2 yrs. of service and waiting for a slot to open, I experienced a number of situations that told me that being a LEO takes alot out of you and you must have the right temperment. At that time I did not and moved along and got into aviation. Glad I took my friends advice and experienced just a very small part of what LEO's go through daily. I have been instructing aircraft systems to pilots and mechanics now for almost 21 years and truly love what I do. One thing I did enjoy getting back into was firearms/weapons. The town aux. force was allowed to carry weapons on duty and we had firearms training and quals along with the regular force. The amount of red tape you had to go thru to buy a weapon was crazy. That alone was the main reason that I only bought 1 weapon, [S&W Model 10 4" bbl ] and sold afew years latter. When I moved to Pa. and found out how a real state treats its people versus subjects, I found a re-newed interest in my 2nd Amdt. rights. I, along with my sons now enjoy shooting to relax, meet some really great people and more importantly, now have the God given right to protect Life, family and property. What a great state! Thanks for the opportunity to express myself here and keep up the good work that this forum provides for the people of Pa..

blackbear.45:
Thanks for your post. I can't believe that beautifull Pike Co. has soo few "surfing" firearm enthusiasts. I'm a part time visitor(40 weekends a year) to the area and must admit I'm not pleased with the responce to this website. I am a little let down by the fact such a beautifull, natural, historic corner of the Keystone State can't be supported by it's local sportsman. I guess the internet has low appeal to the folks that call this region home! I love PA, I love Pike! If you read this post and understand my message, let's hear from you!

I think a lot of that is just that people don't know yet. We've only been around since March and the word is spreading exponentially. As soon as we get one guy in a town, he'll hit the range and mention it to two other guys, etc.

Our members are definitely concentrated in the cities right now as those always grow faster, but I think in the end we'll bleed into all areas of the state.

Hi,
I have lived here for several years now and never knew about this site. I stumbled on it by accident. I just took up a interest in target rifle shooting. I just purchased a savage model 10 fp and I was reseaching some info when I found this web site.

My main interests were in handguns. But, now i think i have found a whole new world.

I'm glad i found this site.

Hi everyone, just moved from New York City last summer, I would spend some summers when a teenager in the area. Fell in love with it then, and I finally talked my wife into moving out here to Beautiful Pike county. I immediately began to exercise my 2nd amendment rights. Learning something new everyday. There's nothing like this sport and I'm glad I can now enjoy it (NYC not gun friendly), as well as being able to defend my family if needed. Stumbled across this sight while doing research for CCW. Hopefully we will eventually have more active members participating. I post in a forum called Bersa Talk since I currently own a Bersa Thunder 380. Great bunch that is very active, btw they discuss other firearms as well. They are friendly and helpful bunch.
