Hi Col, you came to the right place, welcome!

 

Plenty of great help in here.

 

Welcome Col.

Glad to have you aboard and I think you'll enjoy it here. Lot's of members here from your area and I look forward to meeting you.

Jump right in anywhere you decide.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome. When Im able to, I shoot USPSA at Rowan County Wildlife Assoc in Salisbury. Eagle Gun range in Concord has IDPA indoors as well. There are a lot of ranges within a hours drive of CLT

 

I escaped many moons ago and would never go back. Welcome!!

 

Welcome aboard and to the south. Must warn ya, it may take up to 10 years to gain honorary southernship

Hit us back up when ya get here and we shall point you to all info and locations.

 

It will be like going to heaven after NJ

go to www.cr-pc.org

Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club is located in Waxhaw and has everything you mention except for organized competition in IPSC or IDPA. They may be putting in a couple of bays that would work for those.

 

And just remember, the way we used to do it up north, ain't how it's done here.

Welcome to the Club!

 

welcome to the forum

 

Take a look at Piedmont Handgunners Assoc. Not real close to Charlotte but not prohibitive either. http://www.phashoots.com/

 

Welcome! As a former NJ resident, I found it rather ironic that in many ways, it was easier to find good outdoor shooting clubs in NJ that it is in the Charlotte area. CRPC is the only game in town for outdoor ranges for rifle, pistol, shotgun, action, etc. SC has free 25/100 yd ranges on their State Park property (Google DNR ranges / SC).

Great gun shows in Charlotte (at the Metrolina Expo Center - Forget the shows at The Park). Best part is the billboards all over town advertising the shows!!

BTW: I grew up in Parsippany. Did most of my shooting at Cherry Ridge with ANJRPC. What about you?

Welcome to the Club!

 

Welcome!

I work with some guys from New York. One guy has been here almost 20 years. He still brags about NY and then says how much he likes it here. The one biggest complaint from the northern folk is how we drive and when it snows we raid the grocery stores hahah.

 

Welcome! Just remember, you left up there for a reason. Dont try to change the south to be more like "up north" and we'll all be on good speaking terms.

 

"And just remember, the way we used to do it up north, ain't how it's done here."


Thank you for saying that.

 

Welcome aboard.

 

I live in Parsippany and am a member at Cherry Ridge so that makes two Mikes from Parsippany on the forum.

As for those of you that tell me not to change the South, I completely agree with you. I can see I will have to straighten out some former NJ residents living in NC. It will involve telling them that if they want NC to be like NJ, they should have stayed in NJ. I left NJ to get away from the oppressive taxes, leftist politics and insane drivers. Of course, as a southerner, I will have to do it politely.

What do former NJ residents in NC say: I want higher taxes, ruder drivers, more corrupt politics and a nanny state? If that is the case, I volunteer to go to their houses, take lots of their money, tell them how to run their lives and tell them to STFU.

For starters, plenty of transplants from the northeast bring their anti-gun mindset with them. These people are probably shocked and terrified when they see someone open carrying. I worry that as more of them come down here, they will push for more gun control in NC.

Yup. They've screwed their state up and like locusts move to the next target
