TheWombat 67 Posted January 1, 2015 I've not been very active on the forum or the range during the last 12 months due to the birth of our daughter however I'm checking in to say have a Happy New Year and also farewell. I've been offered a relocation to North Carolina that we're taking up as it is better for the family. On another positive note it also probably means I'll have my NC Concealed Carry License before the end of February I wanted to pass on my thanks to the forum, its members, sponsors and Maksim. As a newcomer to the USA you welcomed me ~4 years ago and helped guide me through my journey of becoming familiar with firearms, taking various training classes with Gun For Hire and competing in IDPA. All the best for 2015! TheWombat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
