I was a shooter and hunter for years before I went to Vietnam. When I came home, I stayed away from guns for a few years before getting back into it. I don't hunt any more. I would however like to try hunting wild boar or pigs. At least they have a chance to defend themselves, and it might get my adrenaline level where I like it. Same thing for other dangerous game, I'd try it for the rush, but I wouldn't shoot anything I wasn't going to eat.
my side rabid TDS gun hating on all levels liberals. we are not on speaking terms: i have been deleted from all family events and relationships. could care less for i don't have to listen to their shit and save plenty on christmas, birthdays etc. my wife's side ex military, conservative, party animals: most don't own guns but really do not have an issue with them.
Yes, the necromancy is strong with this one @namedpipes
Well done!
My wife doesn’t mind it. Just like my guitars she prefers me not to have 10 of ‘em. Of course there’s more than that for both guitars and guns.
My mil who has dementia just lets out an “Oooooooohhhh!” when she sees me decked in real tree.
Took my then 8 and 10 y/o’s to the range last year to let them shoot a 10/22 and P22. They liked it and I need to get them out more. The now 9 y/o is interested in going hunting with me. This is very good. The youngest of the three at 1 y/o will grow up knowing Daddy is packing heat...always. She’ll benefit from the experience of the older two.
and they are the first ones to spout racism and fascismAlmost exactly the same thing happened to me!
I once revived the second thread ever started on this site: High Power Shooting Gear
There was another early thread, bumper stickers, I think that had a good long second run.
This site was around before 2005, 2004 was the original board..I think.
Dig harder !
Then the original board was deleted. That's definitely the second thread in existence.
News to me.This site was around before 2005, 2004 was the original board..I think.

News to me.
Derek sent me an Email the day he started NES and after I talked with him on the phone I joined the following day. According to the link to my name, I was the 13th member of NES. I see you were #7. Derek also told me that he started NES as a family-friendly forum having been disgusted with lots of back-biting on ARfcom (where both of us were and still are members).
So if he started something earlier than that, I was never aware of it. I'm not saying that it didn't happen.
There was an earlier software before vB. The move from that to vB was a hot mess.I fail at memory..Could have sworn there was an earlier website version and when upgraded everybody lost post count etc..
I grew up in a gun family. Ex-wife was an anti
Now I'm single again. A co-worker (Newton) has been trying to set me up with her friends for two years. I said OK only on the condition that she tell them up front that I am a gun owner and that I won't even meet them if they object to that.
So far, I'm 0 for 3.
