names Anthony im 30 and originally from MD grew up there in the country. Joined the Marines in 06 and was station in Jacksonville NC now me and my wife live on Raleigh. We just moved here about two weeks ago and I’m liking it so far but I know nobody and am not familiar with the area which is killing me lol. I own a few firearms and when money’s roght I add to my collection. Current have a Beretta M9 and Glock 26 for rifles I have a mossberg.308 bolt action and an AR-15 in 5.56, also a 20g short barrel shotgun I have for Home defense and for fun. I’ve done quite a few different jobs after the military currently I work as a correctional officer for the state. I’m a pretty easy going guy but I have my moments, kinda takes a lot to get me going. I’m young but grew up fast my friends call me the “old man” because for many yrs now since I got out I’ve been dealing with the VA and my bad back and disabilities so I tend to kick back and relax and don’t like going to clubs or things that cause me more pain. I like to just hang out have some beer at a pub or sports bar type place and sit around a bonfire which I’m missing the one I built at or house we moved from. I fish and hunt love turning wrench but it’s hard like I said with my back and shit to do things to a certain level. I’m a jack of all trades master of none I’ll pull over and change your tire for you and be there when you need a hand until you do me wrong then I’m done with ya. I ramble as you can see haha nice to be here.
 
I bet you a six pack. If you stick around here you'll have a pack of friends that will have your back.

Poke around here. You'll enjoy being here. Just for heavens sake stay out of the basement.

Oops. Forgot to thank you for your service. Thank you.

Now.

Welcome to the madness. Glad to have you here.

Thanks for the warm welcome
 
Welcome, we're happy to have you with us. We have a lot of members in your area, you'll find some new friends in short time.
 
Welcome, I think you'll fit in well here.
So hang around for a while.
 
Welcome to the Triangle. When you get your firepit going be sure to post some pics in the Redneck Firepit thread. When the weather is right there are quite a few professional pyro's around here.

No fire pit anymore sadly that’s at our place we’re selling, I’m gonna miss it but not gonna miss finding pallets and cutting wood to burn sinse all my lazy ass neighbors wouldn’t contribute they just liked to come over when it was burning lol
 
Now this is how to do an introduction! What you do, what you like to do, what you like to shoot, and who you are. Somebody needs to make this a sticky post to use as an example. We have good fishing near you and at the coast. Hunting is not bad, even on gamelands. If you back keeps you from climbing trees, just know that you need to be 8' off the ground to use a centerfire rifle in Wake. I have a buddy that only hunts shotgun and usually takes one every year.

Anthony, it's good to have you, and I hope we hear from you often.

Thanks sir, ya it seems to be allowed on the Neuse River I checked it out and see nothing saying you can’t. I have trails down the road from me that are the falls of Neuse River trails and a kayak launch. I looked at google maps still in the process of locating fishing spots. Ya I’ve been apart of a few forums and kinda give a lot of info. Mostly mechanic and gun stuff some gaming too

Welcome to CFF!!

(And we need pics of the 20ga SBS...I have a 12.5" 870, camo youth model)
 
Welcome to the zoo and Semper Fi, Marine. Lots of really good people on board here. (And lots of smartazzes too).

The Dixie Gun Show is at the fairgrounds in Raleigh this weekend. Nice place to go and browse around and you sometimes bump into members from CFF.

So just jump into whatever conversation hits your buttons and you'll get to know people pretty quickly.
 

Whaaaat. Oh. I see.

Corps from 91 - 96 and lived in MD from 96-2001. Spent as many hours as I could on the eastern shore to preserve my sanity.

So I’m guessing we wouldn’t have met since you were 13 when I moved back to the Carolinas.

Welcome! I’m also relatively new to the area and struggled to find places to get out and shoot. I’m up in wake forest. If you have any questions about where to go and just generally about the area feel free to send me a message.
