Oh crap, I missed the introduction thread ; sorry!

So, I'm Paul, 39, from Corpus Christi, and as you may have guessed, I'm a proud gun owner. I started shooting 31 years ago when my father taught me to shoot his 10/22, and then came the first shotgun (some kind of ancient dinosaur chambered in .20 gauge, single shot) at age 14, and when I turned 18, he gifted me an M1 Garand that his father had bought to hunt hogs and coyotes after coming back from Korea.

Since I got a lot of exposure, I developed a strong case of gunnitis and it has remained one of my main hobbies since then. Now, I own, apart from that Garand, a S&W 1917 revolver, a 1895 Nagant, a CZ-75, a Hungarian High Power clone, a Glock 19, a Ruger Mk.1 a Polish P64, a WASR-10, an Arsenal AK-74, a Mossberg 500, a Mosin Nagant, a 10/22 a Yugo M48 Mauser, a M1 Carbine and a PTR-91 ; I could have had issues with my wife, if the AK-74, P64, High Power and M1 carbine weren't hers! I met her when I was in college (the GI Bill was one of the best things to happen in my life!), she was a foreign exchange student, and I quickly converted her to my favorite hobby ; and now, my 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son have both become quite proficient with the .22 guns.

As you have guessed, guns are one big deal in the life of my family and in my own history, and that's why I joined this forum : I want to see what I could do, at my scale, to prevent liberals from taking our rights away.

Sorry for the long blog rant, and I hope we'll be able to enjoy our guns for another couple centuries... at least!
