Who are you?

33, Married 5 yrs, 2 cats, no kids yet.
3 days away from earning my MBA which will hopefully pay for it's self in the short-run.

I grew up in West and Central Texas and was a decent shot before I entered kindergarten. I would love to get an 'evil black rifle' but have been living in MA for the last 2 years and will be relocating to CA after graduation. After I achieve a bit more financial stability and my start-up gets off the ground I will likely relocate to a 2A friendly state.

28, male, single...well sorta - I am engaged to a great woman I am slowly getting into the pro-rights movement. I am also a staunch anti-religious person, pro-choice, and pro-public smoking bans. Funny how that works, isn't it? Oh well.

I work in IT as a Systems Administrator here in the suburbs of Boston.

I definitely don't have infinite money as I have WAY too many hobbies. I had to pick all the expensive ones too. My $$ gets split into my cars (Camaro and Corvette), home theater, computers, power tools, and guns I have a lot less disposable income now that I own my own home as well. Oh well. I own an EBR and a shotgun so far, handguns are next

Dope

40 ish married , no rugrats 1 cat 2 rats
enlisted into the army in 1984 got out in 88 entered AF reserves in 89 got out in 94 ,re-enlisted into the AF reserves in 2004 now in the ANG.
work for the USPS on the civilian side.

had a win model 94 and a western auto .22 bolt single shot since about age 10 . then 2 years ago I re-discovered shooting .
several AR's sks's Moisins s&W pistols purchased then dove headfirst into reloading last year and now feel that I am just getting warmed up .

This has been going on a bit, i am now 44 with the same great wife and 1 same cat nikki(shes mine), and one new one, buckethead (wifes),he is a maine-coon, we are in the process of shaving him which as some of you know is as much fun as playing with broken glass.
still at simmons for the time anyway, i now run the law enforcement div. and build barrel sets for O/U and SXS.
Being the only one who can do some of the stuff with barrels here, i also now get to build the double riffels and prototype stuff.
I have a background in mecanical design so i am also the vice president of research and design here at simmons.
At least i still get to do gunsmithing once and a while, it's just a strugle to get some of the parts built to spec. when there out of house.

Who me?

Name's Dave, I am 60 years old, retired MSG USSF after 24.5 years. Did 14 years sniper work, so main interest is still long range shooting. Weapons range from .22 pistol to 1874 Sharps in 45-110, with stops along the way with 30-06, 308. 8mm Mauserx2, a couple of 22 rifles, six assorted pistols, and a shotgun. I retired from the military in '92. went to school for Physical Therapy and worked until Sept '07. Presently retired. I have been Marrid 29 years have two sons. Wife bought a Springfield M1A "loaded and the Sharps for me. Lucky Dave.

Just on old guy. Nothing special. Bought the guns mostly between marriages. Should have been renting it instead of buying it. Never intended to own what I have, they just jump up into my hands as I walk by.

Reloading's more fun than shooting these days. All my stuff's on the bench and I can just swivel do it. Better than chasing brass.

Shean, 22years old, engauged to a beautiful 23year old khmyer girl. own a few guns and few cars.

deliver wine right now for a job while she goes to school. i have a accociates degree in automotive technoligy, but don't really work on cars any more (wow what a waste of $30K)

Former soldier....now a gun dealer.

I did not buy my first gun until 2002 and did not start buying in earnest until last year.

Me too. Literally.

55, Retired IT professional.
Married with eight kids between us.
guns, golf and bikes....

Am 69 years old and a sometimes-retired explosive ordnance disposal guy with over 40 years in the field.

Like to hog hunt at least one day a week when I am at home. Also go to the range at least new day per week.

23yo Student/Part-time Software Engineer;
Engaged to my girlfriend of 5 years, and we'll be married this summer.

I'll be a Full-time Software Engineer in December, and soon after that, hopefully be the proud owner of a Sig P226.

Age: 15

job: student, work in summer to get guns

Pay for all of my guns (under parents name of course)

Personal: 25. Long-term girlfriend. Great friends and family. Always a good time to be had.

Professional: Did the pre-school through master's degree thing. Made it through all of that with no debt. However, now I'm STRUGGLING to find employment and get on my feet.

I'm a married late-20's Iraq vet. 2 kids. Self proclaimed "gun nut". I was our unit's armorer for 6 years. That's why I don't own an AR. I will go to my grave happy if I never see an M-16 or any of it's civilian counterparts again. Not that it was a bad weapon,actually quite effective from my firsthand experiences in Mosul and Baghdad. just too many hours slaving over them in cramped conditions all over the globe. I am an avid hunter, shooter, and fisherman. I will, and have been pouring my efforts into the preservation of ALL of our rights, from free speech to the 2A. That's what I fought for, and that's what I'll live for. For ANYONE to strip the right for me or my family to defend ourselves is incomprehensible to me.

62 year old retired computer geek on disability,, long time hunter, new to carry hand gun and decided I need more than the one now of course.

Got more time to play with guns,, just lost wife to cancer very recently so do rattle around the house with my two cats and take care of my 3/4 acre of yard and small garden. And drive my convertible when ever possible.
