Hello all! I am a new shooter here in Alexandria VA. To get all the labels in: I am a lady with a wife, three cats, and a dog. I'm also an immigrant who is going to become a US citizen in a couple of weeks (yay!) Civilian gun ownership is not allowed in my home country so I've always said that the first thing I am going to do is to get a gun when I become a US citizen (even though I am a Green Card holder for awhile now and GC holders can have firearms). It just feel like such a milestone. :yahoo:

Like many LGBT liberals, the 2016 election makes me more worried about my everyday safety. Aside from personal safety, I find that target shooting is very relaxing for reducing everyday stress. I also think it's important to know how to handle a firearm should one day the zombie apocalypses comes... People on TV shows and movies can all just pick up a gun and shoot, I don't want to be the one that throws the gun at a zombie!

Recently I've taken a basic gun safety class and also took a class to qualify me for getting a CCW license in VA. I am looking at getting the HK VP9sk since I'm a lefty (literally).

My other hobbies are: Home coffee roasting, everything coffee, cooking, fishing, photography, and taking on new hobbies.
