    I already took some steps toward completing my goals, so just need to follow-turu:

    Start carrying concealed.
    Took the class a few days before Christmas, so should have my license soon.

    Get a pocket gun.
    I think I'll carry one of my G19s as well.

    Go to the range regularly.
    Bought a membership to DFW Gun Range to give myself an excuse to go to the range more often.
    It's right down the street from my office so I have no excuse.

    Spend a Saturday at an Appleseed Project even in/around DFW.
    Bought a discounted pass already so just need to schedule it for when it's not so damned cold outside.
    Also need a semi-auto centerfire rifle, Moonpie shamed me into getting my first 10/22, am bidding on one over at GunBroker right now :clown:

    My first can should be out of NFA jail in a few months, so I'll have my first suppressor soon.
    Goal is to get in line for another this year.

    Mod this shit out of my little Savage 22, because it won't cost me too much and should be fun.

    Stock up on more ammo as deals arise.
    Tired of paying too much because I don't have enough on-hand when I go shooting.

    I need to get more comfortable shooting prone and get more consistent at long ranges. I also need to work with my carry gun more. Maybe take a class.

    1. Goal #1 is to not let my gun ADD run wild. Bought an AR last fall, haven't shot it yet. Got into my 10/22 and have shot that a lot. All of my range time my last two range trips has been on the .22 range and pistol plates. At least I'm having fun.
    2. I'd like to shoot a pistol match for the first time.
    3. Take a defensive handgun course. A carbine course would be a bonus.
    4. Make it to the range at least once a month (twice a month would be ideal but probably pushing it). And go with a purpose. Research drills I want to run beforehand.
    5. Start reloading .45 ACP.
    6. I still want a .357 revolver...and a .22 pistol...or do I want a .22 revolver...
    7. Figure out how I'm going to pay for all of this.

    224 Valkyrie......if you don’t know what it is. Don’t look. You’ll make a new list.

    Sell some that I don't shoot then add a .224 Valkyrie. But in reality, I'll probably add the Vakyrie first since I have Black Rifle Disease and all I need is a barrel.

    Yup, I've got all kinds of plans. More than I have the patience to write. The fact that I don't have funds for them and that none of them will come to fruition is a mute point. The fact is, I've got plans. :clown:

    More shooting time which would mean more ammo. There are too many different guns I would like and I can't know what deal I may find on any of them to set a goal. Hell, I didn't plan on building a 300 Blk in 2017, but I surprised myself there, maybe I'll surprise myself again.

    As a new resident to TX, I've yet to buy my first gun. Just haven't decided on which one. I've wanted a Makarov for a while, but haven't seen one at the 3 stores i've been to. (There was one at Cabellas, but it looks like its been drug behind a truck for 14 miles for $350). I kinda want a PMR30 on a lark, an AK47 model, and a Mossberg 930. Right now its lack of purchase through indecision. Just bought a motorcycle and found a Ruger LCP and RIA .38 I might buy.

    Some ranges let you rent firearms, good option when you have a hard time deciding.

    If you're ever in Dallas, I'm a member at DFW gun range, they have free rentals for members. I'd be happy to meet you there if you want to shoot whatever they have to rent...or can bring some of mine.
