Indians For Guns

Hi everyone,

This is Shurjo from Baton Rouge, LA. Been reading (and liking) the discussions on this forum for way too long not to join in, so here I am. Just got around to step one of legally owning a gun as a non-immigrant in the US (i.e, getting a hunting license), so next thing is to buy my first firearm (no more rentals...yay ). Anyone visiting the southern US, feel free to get in touch and we can go shoot some skeet/five-stand/handguns (Baton Rouge has three ranges, and they're real friendly).

Have a good day, y'all,

Shurjo

Welcome aboard Shurjo and congratulations on getting your permit! In the words of our moderator El Jefe aka the good doc - "welcome to the madness"

Cheers!

Hi el jefe, Sanjay, Abhijeet...

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

BTW, Abhijeet, I was thinking about posting the method for getting the US hunting permit and CCW, and the legal clauses in 18 USC (loopholes, from the Democratic viewpoint) that allow non-immigrant Indians to be legal gun owners in the US. I had to do a lot of research before I even realized it was possible, and maybe it'll be helpful to other Indian grad students like me in the US whose shooting experience in India was limited to NCC-modified .22LR SMLEs.

Welcome aboard Shurjo. I live in Michigan and am planning a trip for ever to New Orleans. A very good friend of mine from back home lives there. I shoot trap too and hunt sometimes. I wonder if you know about trapshooters.com. They're a bunch of nice guys on there from LA. One guy Mike built his own Titanium Cole trap gun. He goes by PerazziBigBore on trapshooters.com, check him out and maybe you can hook up with him and shoot his Titanium Cole.

Best of luck and welcome again.

Welcome Shurjo... welcome on IFG and you're welcome to accompany us when you are in the Chicago area next time.

Howdy HSharief, Conty1,

Nice knowing that more Indian-origin gun junkies like myself abound in these parts.

HSharief, definitely put NO on your itinerary sometime...even after the storm, it's a city full of life. BTW, they have a really good Indian restaurant (Shalimar), the lamb is authentic stuff. If a couch can double as a bed for you, I can save you the hotel room and we can drive down from Baton Rouge for a weekend.

Conty1, Corona's the stuff alright, my friend (lime wedge for you?). Thanks so very much for the offer. I'm looking at a postdoc job at the U of C, so it might work out later this year.

hey shurjo

i too am pretty new to the forum so welcoming you would be something inappropriate

though would be visiting us either in july or december will make sure to catch up with you hopefully would be over with shooting cans by then

tc
cheers

Hey Siddharth,

We can always welcome each other...that would make things even, right?

Be sure to get in touch when its time for you to come stateside. Send me a PM around then and I'll send you my phone number.

G'day,

Shurjo

Absolutely... without a lime wedge, its like a gun without bullets

Let us know... looking forward to it and good luck!
