Well, I guess I just can't get enough of Atlanta. Previously lived there for a couple years in a really crummy part of town, and now my wife and I are moving to the south side of Decatur so that I can undertake my residency training. I hear Dekalb really takes their time with the CCW permitting process, so that is a bummer. Plus as a physician I can't carry at most of my work sites, so sadly I'll be unarmed much of the time (please keep working on that, GCO!). Will be looking to get hooked in with some IDPA or GADPA people and maybe even some preparedness folks.
The place we've picked to live is tucked away in the back of a very nice little subdivision. Our neighborhood does have a very active neighborhood watch, and a real sense of community, so we hope to take advantage of some of the security that that will provide.
But it is a pretty small bubble with not-so-nice areas all sides, so I'm probably going to go ahead and get the wife her own AR-15 and Glock 19 to match mine, and she's agreed to get some training and her own concealed carry permit. We've been working a little bit each night on having her learn to rack the slide on a semiauto, and the fundamentals of gun safety and marksmanship. She's even coming to an IDPA match with me this weekend to learn a little bit about that game. She'll be working from home, which makes me feel a little bit better about her safety, and in addition to our electronic security system, we've recently acquired a 4-legged alarm system. So we're taking baby steps towards having a really secure home. Would love any suggestions for home security stuff, as well as any favorite ranges, gun shops, or IDPA clubs in and around Decatur.
