Hi all:
I just wanted to put up a post to say "Hi". I've just emigrated from Britain to the US and am now resident in Henderson NV. As I guess most of you know, firearms regulation is pretty strict in the UK, so it's a blessed relief to have bought my first handgun over here! In the UK I owned shotguns, but even they were restricted to 2 shots. My 3 day wait is up tomorrow, and I will be collecting my Kimber Pro-carry 1911; although I've already put 400 rounds through it! To those who fight for the rights you all enjoy for free gun ownership: Thanks! I'd really like to become more involved in the Vegas area shooting scene, so if you see a lost-looking Brit at any of the ranges, please point me in the right direction! And if anyone in the Henderson area could take the time to show me how to strip and clean a 1911, I will express my gratitude with beer. Heck, even if you can't help with the 1911, give me a shout and I'll get the first round in. Thanks all! |

Welcome BigDex, I'm sure you will find the guys here in the NV forum are all top notch. Welcome to Nevada.

nother damn yankee southerner........we here in the north have a bounty out fer yas
|
|
Welcome another Brit now there is 2 of us just another 249 million and we will be back up to strength here.
|
|
I'm glad you came over and posted, it is a good site. Let me know what you hear about that Wolf ammo...
|
|
Welcome. We always have room for another bloke to lend some culture to this place. Good luck and keep them all in the ten ring.
|
|
Stop accusing us of introducing culture, I resemble that remark
|
|
This seems like a friendly place to hang out already hanks
I'll try to get myself out and about and noticed (in a good way), so please do say hi if you see me. The truck's license plate is the same as my handle on here (or at least it will be when DMV send it to me...). All comments about us Brits losing the war are welcomed... having come over here, it's only fair that we let you use what history you've got . Anyway, the only culture I brought with me can be cleared up by a good doctor! |
|
We didn't loose we just made a stratigic withdrawl due to over extended supply lines.
BigDex check your IM and email box I sent you a message |
|
Oh Brit....you are in so much trouble now....time to stock up on ammo and guns and shoot shoot shoot....dont forget to take pics and send it back to your friends in the UK so they can wank at them! hahahahaha....gunless wankers!
|
|
Hey, you're wrong on one count... I had guns! |
|
|
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!! OH SHIT! THE BRIT IS HERE! You chose a good state to settle. Nevada is one of the very few "Free Gun" states left. Welcome to the Land of the Free, BigDex... Be Safe. Joe |
|
Cheers Joe!
I'm still interested in training if you still have my number (I called earlier). Rick |
|
Thanks for letting us kick your ass 200 years ago so we can bear arms.
Welcome to NV |

New guy buys the beer!!!!! (and Ding-Dongs, if he gets lost.....) Make it a point to show up for one of out infrequent dinners..... |

|
|
BigDex, if only most Americans were as freedom loving as you...

I had been told that there was a 3 day wait before you could take home the first handgun you purchase in Nevada. Is that wrong? No worries in either event, as I can collect it in 2 hours anyway h=85% Originally Posted be ColSanders: So, you are planning on being a permenant resident in our great country? I most certainly am. To be honest, the paperwork is quite easy for me as my father is from Buffalo, and I therefore am a US citizen.
And what, may I ask, is a "Ding Dong"?hinking.gif |

Welcome aboard BidDex!
I live here in Henderson as well and want to invite you to go shooting some time real soon. I go shooting with another member, Dorsai (he lives here in Henderson as well), usually on Saturday mornings/afternoons. If you are interested in building an AK47 for yourself, we will be doing another build at my house shortly. thanks, Ron |

Dex A ding dong or Ho Ho as refered to on here is like a cadbury's chocolate mini roll or like one of the round chocolate covered mini cakes of the same recipe we used to get in the UK.
As for the 3 day wait for your first handgun that is so in Las Vegas should of bought from Henderson no such rule, but anyway now you have a Blue Card it wont happen again |
|
Oh yeah.... Rex has already gotten to experience the wonderful customer service that one can only recieve at American Shooter supply. The did him real nice, considering he is new to the country and this was his first pistol. Real outstanding way o treat a customer, right Rex?

Ding dong's are associated with Northern Nevada Arfcommers. It is an inside joke here on this forum.
