I've already jumped in on a few posts, but here is my introduction anyway.
I'm a 10 year veteran of the USAF, served in OEF and OIF. I've been shooting since I was a Boy Scout in the early 90s. I'm an NRA member, avid shooter, hunter and gun rights advocate in Michigan. Thankfully, Michigan laws are pretty decent for gun owners.
As far as my personal guns go, I own a Maverick 88, Mossberg 500AT, Mosin Nagant M91/30, Mosin Nagant M44, Arisaka type 38, Savage 64, Traditions Buckskinner .50. although I've fired handguns for over a third of my lifetime, my first handgun purchase and CCW license will come at some point this year.
I've been part of other forums similar to THR for a little while, but I always seem to come here to read threads and lurk. It was simply time to join and step out of the shadows.
