Hello, fellow enthusiasts. My name is Tony. I am interested in everything and anything that is firearm related. Over the years, I've gotten so much good information, from various THR forums, and articles, that THR became my favorite 'go to' place, for information, on whatever popped into my head, or, to research new technology. I have been around firearms for my entire life and have a great love for the sport, the history of the sport, as well as, the direction in which the sport is going, paying particular attention to threats that would further regulate, impinge upon, or, outright revoke, our rights afforded us by the 2nd amendment to The Constitution of the United States. Although I am a civilian, I am well travelled, and, I have owned, and/or fired and cleaned more weapons than most. I rarely hunt, anymore, and find that target shooting, for me, is almost a form of meditation. It is my hope and intention that, through this venue, I will continue to learn, and also pass along some of my insights to anyone who is in search of a solution to a problem. Knowledge is power. It, also, can save you a bundle, LoL, especially, in this sport! I'm always looking to try a new gun, accessory, caliber, or load. I enjoy a great many but, love relatively few. Still, I'd love to have a couple of each! One to shoot, and one to keep pristine. If only! Here's to keeping our sport alive with continued progress in safety and support. In closing, I would like to remind everyone to reach out to your Congressional representatives and let them know how you feel about our sport. God Bless America!
