Hey everyone!

I've been a gunnie since I was old enough to buy my first rifle. Parents were always anti-gun but when I turned 18 I bought a shotgun and started down the rabbit hole. It lead me to work at gun shops and gun ranges to work my way through college. After college I had to move to the bay area to start my career, and I found myself in the heart of the anti-gun idiocracy that is California. For the last couple years I've been laying low in the gun world. Luckily, my work acquired a company in Bellevue, and there's a position available in that office that I've been offered, and the thought of moving out of CA and into what is essentially a free-state has rekindled my love of all things gun related. Looking forward to finishing a few builds, and buying some of the things that I've always wanted, but would never be available to me here.

I used to be extremely active on Calguns.net(same username), made some friends, learned some things, shared some knowledge. Hoping that I can find a "home" here as I make the transition to Washington, learn where the good ranges are, where the local IDPA/IPSC, 3-gun and long-range matches are held, and make some new friends along the way.

Welcome. I think you can remove the bullet button once you cross into Oregon.

Welcome to WaGuns !!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Washington.
There is a thread on the Board Index, on competition shooting.
Hope that will help.

2 Bullet Button ARs and 1 Featureless. They will all be repaired as soon as I'm in state. Fun fact, January 1 those Bullet Button ARs will be considered AW's here in CA, and subject to registration

"Repaired." I like that sir. Good choice of a word.
Welcome to WA.

Welcome to WaGuns.org and to semi-freedom!

Welcome, I too was on Calguns, also same username.

Welcome from a former Born & Raised in the Bay!

Welcome! I too escaped from the People's Republic of Dumphuckistan formerly known as California. I am returning to Wa after a 16 year absence.

Bullet button removed: check
Standard cap magazines acquired: check
Concealed carry permit: check
Actively involved keeping California type gun control out of Wa: check

No state tax
It was like giving myself a pay raise

I still post on Calguns as we should support the fight and discourage that type of legislation making it north.

Realized I wasn't subscribed to this thread. Thanks for all the welcomes, and I see a lot of you are fellow refugees from CA.

I too am still active on Calguns, but looking forward to finding a new group of shooting buddies and trying out some the the action pistol sports

Yea a lot of us are from there. I left at the age of 18. I've been back 8 times since then to see family. It will be 9 years this summer since I left that shithole. I grew up in the salinas valley

I too escaped the Gilded State.

I was born in Healdsburg CA grew up (used loosely) outside of Fresno but San Diego was the last place I called home in that state before I moved up here. Won't move back.
