Hi everyone!
I’m enjoying this informative and supportive forum. I have some questions about my new M&P shield (2.0, 9mm).
But first I’ll just introduce myself.
I received my LTC in Massachusetts a few years ago in an effort to express my support for the second amendment. Had little interest in owning a firearm. Not for any idealogical reason, but I didn’t really need another hobby and didn’t feel compelled to carry for self protection at the time, based on my living circumstances.
Last year we moved to Florida and my neighbor took me to the range after a 90 minute 1:1 intensive gun safety class in his den complete with handouts and quizzes!
I had a great time and harkened back to my days shooting bb guns for hours in my back yard in Michigan; enjoying the challenge of hitting a target.
Inspired, I started looking at possible purchases. I wanted something to carry but also really had a blast with the .22.
Recently we moved back to Marxachusett. The riots, social unrest, impending civil war (and my wife’s concern for her safety) decided it for me. I took my license to a local gun shop in Woburn Massachusetts and explained my situation. I went in looking to purchase a sig p365 but wound up with a M&P Shield 2.0, which is probably a better option based on everything I’ve read since.
Since then I’ve purchased a handful of dummy rounds and have been practicing field stripping, loading, unloading, dry-firing…i’ve cleaned it and oiled it. It feels good in my hand. My intention is to KNOW the gun, be confident and SAFE… and not look like an idiot the first time I go to the range.
Anyway, I feel welcomed already, just from reading posts and I’m happy to be a part of your group!
Thanks!!
