Hi, new around here. Ran to a gun shop after getting my permanent residence. 2nd amendment rocks! Back in Venezuela it is cumbersome and expensive to have a gun. Only criminals have easy access (look at murder rates online https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate). That's what happens when non-sense gun control make citizens weak and criminals stronger than the police. I'm so happy to get into the shooting sport with the freedoms this country has to offer. Started with a glock 23, S&W 22 victory then added a ruger rifle 22lr bolt and a remington shotgun. I attend regularly Kenmore shooting ranges and other ranges in Bellevue. Always looking for new places to shoot.

Welcome, Jorge!
Can I assume your native language is Spanish? If so, I'm envious that you're so fluent in English, too. People who are multilingual amaze me.
Bienvenido!

I know some ranges that under some conditions would allow to shoot slugs but in general is very limited. Sticking to trap for now. It is a lot of fun anyway! EDIT: ah! next in my shooting list? something in 308 like a scout rifle and hopefully a nice 1911.

Bienvenido! Yes, bilingual here. But if you listen to me talking you will detect the accent easily. Specially on weekends where it gets worse! LOL Saludos

Welcome Jorge! I like your outlook... Hope that 2A style freedom spreads around the world... And that other countries apply more common sense to it than we have here.
