Hi guys! I just joined the forum after getting my XD(M) 9mm three weeks ago (this is my first handgun). I've been reading up on VA handgun laws and just finished a book titled, "The Viginia Gun Owner's Guide", which did a good job of explaining VA's gun laws in plain English. Anyway, I applied for my VA concealed handgun permit one week ago and I've been practicing with a buddy (an experienced shooter) at the NRA range in Fairfax. :smile:
