Hi folks. My name's Jim and my wife, 2 sons (11 and 14) and dog live in the far reaches of North Knox County near the common border of Knox, Anderson, and Union counties. I registered a few days ago after purchasing my first pistol, an SA XD-40 bought from TGO member Tom@GunDepot (great price and service from Tom by the way), and I'm looking forward to becoming an active participant in this online community. I can't wait to get started with handgun courses (including CCW permit), spending lots of time at the firing range (looks like the Norris range is only 5 or 6 miles away), and learning as much as possible from all you experienced shooters out there. I would appreciate any and all advice you might be willing to share (e.g. local resources, training, instructors, supplies, events, memberships, etc.).
Thanks to all - Jim
