My babies are home!

[PAshooter]

As some of you may know, I'm in the process of escaping from the Socialist Workers Paradise of Maryland and moving to the United States... specifically the great state of Pennsylvania. We're in the new house already and settle on the old one at the end of next week... so the process is nearly complete.

Anyhoo... when we put the old place on the market I sold my smallish Amsec safe to a buddy and removed it - and my guns - from the premises. They (the guns) have been in hiding at a secure undisclosed location pending the arrival of their new home. Well - a week or so ago it arrived... the biggest honking safe Fort Knox makes. Found a perfect spot for it at the new place and now my babies are back home... in the land of the free! It sure feels good. Oh - and now I've got lots of empty safe space just begging to be filled... have to get busy with that

BTW - getting the safe into its final location was no easy task. For anybody in the VA, WVA, MD, or PA area who's thinking of getting a safe I can't recommend Steve's Services highly enough. He was the only dealer I talked to who didn't try and sell me a smaller safe than I wanted, simply because it would have been easier to install. Steve is a great guy to work with, offered great advice, and didn't try sell me more safe than I wanted (in terms of bells and whistles that don't add to security). I'd be happy to furnish his contact info to anyone who PMs me.

Glad to hear my Maryland friends may be getting a break with this new "internal lock" that's become available... hope your dealer's shelves do start to fill up as expected. Up here in the Land of Freedom the shelves are already overflowing. Time for PAshooter to get crackin'...

Welcome back to America!

Congrats on the new safe. That is my next planned purchase. I hope to have the required funds saved up by the middle of June.

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
It still exists in some places.

Aren't reunions with loved ones great?

PA is a great state for firearms. Plenty of ranges, decent amount of stores, lots of other gun nuts around.

Only oddity that I heard is that one cannot have bayonets mail ordered to your residence. All other knives are fine, just not bayonets. Uhm, right. Perhaps it was enacted so men could have another excuse to troll gun stores and cruise the shows?

I do hope you've already visited your county's sheriff's office to get your CCW? Just remember, you're not allowed to carry in Philly. Oddly enough, the one place you'd want one the most...

Gimme an email if ya ever want someone else to bring toys to the range


And welcome back to civilization!

Good news Dale ....... now, even if no time for range .... you can ''fondle'' as often as you please!! Sounds like a superb safe ... guess we'll need some pics later when all is stable and settled.!

Outa interest ... tho I mentioned the 90 day residency deal ... might be interesting to see your local Sheriff's dept and ask ... seems from what I have heard this 90 day deal may not be uniform across the state .. a county thing perhaps.

Sooner you have your CCW the better.

If I get over east later in the year one of Jamie's shoots ... very much hope you'll be along to join the clan.

Best

AFAIK, the State of PA is second only to Texas in the number of NRA members. That's not nuthin'!
