New Member from Ridgecrest
Hello there...I recieved a message from Mark that I should intro myself. Anyhow, former Marine, live in Ridgecrest, hate the freakin gun laws in CA, blah, blah, blah. I don't have my CCW yet but it is in the works. Hopefully it will go thru without any hiccups. Those familiar with Ridgecrest...I do work on base and I am an avid motorcycle rider (noticed Mark rides too). Looking forward to the wealth of information that is available here.

Welcome. I've been to Ridgecrest a few times on the way to Mammoth. Great Chinese food. I also remember a gun store that was also some guy's home. Ahh the small town living.

Welcome from another former Marine. Semper Fi. I, too, have been to Ridgecrest for some skiing. I was NOT on the way to Mammoth. We did our cold weather training up there a couple of times when I was active in the 80s. I still have some vivid memories of pulling an okio (sp) up a mountain in a snowstorm at night. Also remember getting out of the helos while they hovered at ground level, anyone under 150# was sent flying like a rag doll. Good luck with obtaining a CCW, keep us posted on your progress and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Keith

Thanks for the kind welcomes from everyone. I will be sure to keep posted my progress on my ccw. I submitted the paperwork last Friday and I am going to take the class for it on the 21st. I know I am jumping the gun here, maybe, but I have the opportunity to take the class now so I am doing it while I can...besides, if all goes well, it will just speed the process up a bit, right?

Welcome to CalCCW, DevilDog16.
Thanks you for your service to our country, Brother.  Ridgecrest, I've spent several afternoons at one of my employers offices there. A long drive from the Central Valley, even when you start out from Bakersfield, but I enjoy the drive. I think the desert is a beautiful place, any time of year. Best of luck with your pursuit.

Welcome! I've lived in Kern County all of my life and I have never been to Ridgecrest. Maybe I will take the wife on a ride some weekend and have a look around.
