Hello PAFOA. I found the site through a Google search on "Philadelphia gun law" as I am considering moving to Center City from Bristol(Bucks County).Judging from what I've read so far I think I'm gonna like it here. I'm mainly interested in pistols of the combat/defense variety but enjoy any old kind of shooting.I'm the proud owner of two Springfield XD's;a .45ACP Service and a.40 Sub-Compact as well as a Kel-Tec P-3AT. I've been an NRA member and LTCF holder for ten years now.

Hey I'm new to the forum, just wanted to say hello to everyone. As it is right now I'm here as an information gatherer, and with your help maybe some day I can return the favor to others. Thanks everyone!

Introduction

My name is Bruce L. Hall; I am a Master Sergeant in the US Army currently stationed in Iraq. I am stationed at Fort Drum NY.

I am planning on retiring in about two years and moving back to the Meadville area. Of course that will depend on where I can find a job… any ideas?

I graduated from Meadville High School in 1985. My parents still live in Meadville and my wife of 22 years is from Saegertown, and her mom is still there.

A friend of mine recommended this site to me. I own several guns and have them in both Pa and NY. I love the out doors and spend a lot of time hunting and fishing… I have the NY CCP for NY, but not for Pa yet. I was considering stopping and getting it when I am back home on leave rather than waiting until I move. What do you think?

Thank you all, I will be posting soon…. And I can’t wait to get home!
