Well, it's time for me to introduce myself.

I'm really happy to be a new member of Canadian Gun Nutz. Already a few of the member's here have made me feel very welcome, and very happy. My first post was asking where to find a product that I had trouble locating in Canada. And within minutes I had a few of you asking me for my address so that you could ship this product to me! Amazing.

I've been proud owner of a few pistols for a few years...and always had the intention of getting started with IPSC or PPC but I just never found the time. I'm thinking that I'll get a little more focused this year and try to get involved. (My wife is not a firearms fan...but I'm hoping this year I might be able to turn the tables a bit) We live in Victoria B.C. and although I haven't visited the gun club up the road yet...I hear it's a really good one. Membership includes fishing in their stocked little lake...and camping to boot! (Wife loves camping)

I just bought my first rifle too. It's still in the mail though...my as$ is itching for it to arrive. Just a little .22 but something I hope to get the wife comfortable with. Savage Mark II with the bull barrel. I added a 4-16x bushnell on it and I can't wait to see for myself how much a .22 drops at 100+ yards.

Cheers to all!
Jeffro.
 
Welcome to CGN, a great place to come for firearm technical info, legal info, and current events.

Thank you for your service!:canadaFlag:

If you have any questions about the legal aspects of owning and using firearms, you'll find a good resource in the 'stickies' at the top of the list here:
http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?90-Legalese

As a new member, please do your best to represent the firearms community well. Here are a few things that often get a new guy into trouble: Not keeping the language clean, discussing illegal activities, and writing things which could reflect poorly on the community at large. Don't be offended if people are suspicious of you if you ask strange questions. It is not uncommon for antis (aka gun grabbers, aka the civil disarmament crowd) to cause trouble and stir up controversy on the forum. Sometimes the people here might confuse you for one of those people. Try to be forgiving of that because CGN has a lot to offer, whether you are a new shooter, or a veteran lead-slinger.

If you have a genuine interest in the rights of Canadian firearm owners, I'd encourage you to look into joining one or more of our national orgs. The two most popular are:
CSSA & NFA

With a little bit of research you will see just how much these orgs do to protect our rights. Not only that, but each offers insurance for legal firearm activities. Your money goes a long way to help the cause, but you would not believe how far having your name on the list goes in strengthening our position.

I'd also like to add this: The plight of the Canadian firearm community has been largely ignored by the Canadian media. About two years ago a new news network called http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca busted onto the scene. The Sun News Network is a vocal advocate for our gun rights, so I urge you to do what you can to support them. Until the 20th of February, 2013, you can participate in an online petition to improve Sun's licence to 'mandatory carriage', meaning that they can be viewed on ALL basic cable packages. Please take a moment to sign this petition: http://www.canadiantvfirst.ca. Sun supports us, so please support them.

Once again, welcome. Shoot safe and have fun!
