Howd'y from the Mason-Dixon line.
Hello, Had a friend tell me about this site. Hope to learn from and share with people knowledge.
Since politics seems ok to be discussed here It should be interesting.
Here is a bit about me. I always supported the second amendment, but did not own a gun other than a shotgun I inherited when my dad died in 2005. In 2010 there was a shooting in front of my house that was drug related. I don't live in the best area, but it was a starter home and we were not aware of the area reputation. Had my wife been home 10 minutes earlier from choir practice at the church she would have bit shot. Instead the savages hit my car. That weekend we bought our first guns. Got our carry permits and so forth.
I was born in Delaware and educated in the great state of Alabama. My family comes from lots of southern stock. I did history and political science as a double major and still read up on the subject. I was a high school and college football player. In a brief lapse of sanity I decided to get into rodeo and competed in steer wrestling mostly, but could also rope and have ridden a couple bulls.
I hope to learn the rules of guns and ideas of them up in new England as I have found there are many patriotic Yankees and patriotism does not stop at the Mason-Dixon line. I had often thought that. I even married a yankee. I will say they do have some really pretty ones. She makes great pasta, but I want chicken and biscuits its popyes where I am at.
I am about as conservative as you can get on many things. Some things I am a bit of libertarian on. I will always give an opinion on a personal issue like the confederate flag or when people up north complain about Obama. I often remind them we tried to warn them about big government and they would not listen.
I work in finance now, but have worn a badge as an auxiliary officer.
Faith and family are very important to me.
Hobbies wise I play guitar and lift weights. I did not lift weights when I finished college as I got a desk job and was working HUGE hours since I was 23. I got back into lifteing 1.5 years ago at 39. I was 380 and on the verge of diabetes but now am down to 325. The doctors would like me to 270, but my diet sucks. Couple protein shakes a day, A decent meal, a junk meal and a protein bar, but people at the gym seem to notice.
Not sure what else to say. But I should warn that I am very anti-illegal immigration. I agree with some of the people who don't want unvetted refugees coming potentially bringing terrorism and I almost believe Obama to be the person that history books in 200 years will look at as a key factor in destroying the nation. I hope its not game over for the usa, but it seems we have never been as divided.
Oh and I think they should have hung the boston bomber from a sour apple tree. I know things are a bit different up here, but I cant believe they took him alive.
One thing I have found funny is how many good guns like Colt and Smith and Wesson are made in rather not gun friendly places.
Questions? just ask. Think I am too hard core, let me know and I will tone it to what is acceptable to what the average of the forum is.
