New member from Cincinnati

Post by northsider »

Hello everyone. I've been lurking on the forums for a couple of weeks and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm relatively new to this, but I've had a very slowly dawning awareness of the need to protect myself. I live in a neighborhood (Northside) that mostly feels safe to me, but has had more than its share of assaults over the past few years and also some gang activity. (Perhaps not coincidentally, it's also one of the most liberal neighborhoods in the City.) My work sometimes takes me to houses in which I don't know the residents, so that's another thing that has me wanting to take the precaution of carrying.

My firearms training class is in about 10 days. Really looking forward to it.

It's gonna be great :-)....hope you get 100% on the test in class :-).

Every gun owner who gets a CCW (or CHL as we call it here) helps the cause of being legally armed in Ohio.

Have a great day today unless you have made other plans :-).

Welcome. There are many reasons to carry and it sounds like you have become aware of some of them. There are others, too.

After getting your CHL and actually go about armed, you have a whole new set of concerns -- how to keep yourself legal and out of trouble while traversing a ridiculous pothole-infested web of laws.

That's where this forum will serve you quite well. Not sure how much you've picked up in your time lurking, but there are many nuances and even some interpretations of what is and isn't legal and here on these forums, we hash that sort of thing out on a daily basis.
I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!
