    Hello. I am 44 year old black male from Baltimore County. I recently received my HQL and bought my first handgun. I purchased a handgun for home defense and did not have a clue a the world I was entering. I have been introduced to the topic of 2A and was blown away. The fight to maintain our constitutional rights, for me, supersede race, color, creed, gender, etc. and any other divisive tool that the powers that be use to keep us separated. I am proud to be a part of this community, I wish I would have discovered it earlier, and I want to say thank you in advance for all of the things that I’ve learned from this forum in a short amount of time and all of the things I will learn in the future. Thank you.

    You're damned right it transcends all those things. Our freedom we value so much is truly colorblind unlike those who constantly accuse us of being a bunch of old racist white guys who hate anyone who isn't like us

    Great to have another 2a supporter and member of the forum. Welcome, gotta warn you though, you probably cant buy just one! Once you have the bug and realize the fun. What started as home and family protection quickly becomes a hobby and passion.
    Be safe, get as much training and practice as you can and enjoy.

    Great first post (although it won't be shown in your post count as no posts in the Introductions forum add to this number). Welcome to a community unified in the defense of civil liberties, particularly the right to keep and bear arms.

    Btw, if you haven't had much prior experience with firearms, I would be happy to take you to one of the outdoor ranges in Frederick area that I'm a member of.

    Welcome! Following up on IronDuck- you purchased one for home protection, then you will discover that you need another for target shooting, then your wife needs one, so she can go to the range with you. As he also said, don't forsake good training, HQL was the basics. Have you tried shooting Trap over at Loch raven? You'll need a shotgun, maybe an over and under? It is a wonderful journey, with some of the best quality people that you will ever run into. Enjoy the journey!

    Welcome from Delaware. By the way, don't listen to the addicts on here. Ask me first. I may give you better tips on which guns you should own. :lol2:

    Man I stink at reading... I have a bad habit of skimming intro posts. I caught "44", "black" and "first handgun" before I went back and actually read what you wrote. I was really afraid some poor new shooter had gone Dirty Harry. Reading is fundamental...

    Welcome aboard GBear. I'm glad you've found us and I hope you find some good training resources.
