Default Glad to be aboard!

Hello all! Many of you will know me from the FCC forum. I am grateful to BeerHunter for the referral, and I look forward getting to know all of you better and becoming more "enlightened."

I am originally from the PRNJ but fear not. I moved to Florida in March, 2015, to escape that tyranny (Hence, my forum name: "Free from NJ, GTFO" ) having visited FL at least twice a year since 2006 to facilitate my other Florida Hobby, "cave diving" (For you other fellow divers, I am AN/DP and full cave). I started shooting at age 10 in summer day camp (22 rifles). I had taken a Riflery course in College but went dormant until 2013, when my cave diving mentor also became my 2A mentor. Bought my first pistol (a P226) in late 2013 and have been working on my "inventory" ever since. It's small, but it's getting there. For COTEP mission purposes, I own two 1911's - a Para Expert .45acp, and a S & W "Pro Series" SW1911 sub compact). I got my FL Non-res CWFL while still in NJ (along with UT & AZ). Now proud that it is a "resident" FL CWFL. I am also a sustaining member of Florida Carry.

Thanks all, and it will be great to get to know you all and contribute to the forum, and to COTEP.

Best Regards,
Arnold (FfNJGTFO).

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
