I can meet up with you at the shooter's meeting and introduce you to some folks who will show you the way. First time out there's only 2 things to focus on - safety and having fun. Competition, skill, and everything else is for subsequent matches.
Is this your first time out? I see you're not squadded. Based on openings, I'd go get in Squad 1 or Squad 4. The people in those squads are pretty social and will really help out a first timer.
Theres a monthly match at South River, and I've heard River Bend is going to have a monthly match in 2015. The SRGC match will be moving to the 2nd Sunday of the month in '15.
That's correct. There is no inspection of the package before paying or ability to refuse it. The receiver hands over certified funds to the carrier, and then the carrier releases the package. When I was an FFL myself, I had one distributor who gave me better pricing for doing COD. He'd send...

I try to never travel to states where I can't carry. That's tough with my in-laws in RI. Luckily, we only go up there every other year.
To each his own I guess. I don't get the "I want $600 for my Gen 2 Glock, because 10/22's are advertised at $500" logic. Your gun; your deal. I still think it's dumb.
I don't get all these trade only ads. If I've got the right amount of Ben Franklins to "trade" for your item, why can't you go out and buy the damned gun you want yourself? There are SEVERAL guns on ODT that I want and am willing to pay a very fair price for, but they're trade only. So stupid...
