"Fudd = hunter who doesn't believe in live and let live". Well, I believe in live an let live to a certain extent - once it's in my "sniper" scope though, it's die, sucker! I love all types of guns, I especially enjoy shooting large caliber, big booming shoulder breakers and hand manglers. Semi auto handguns are too much fun, but revolvers are my field gun of choice. I don't own any semi auto long guns, as I like the consistent accuracy of a bolt gun over the semi auto rifles that I have shot. But all guns are cool with me, except in the hands of criminals and idiot Rambo types. Tactical attitudes are for law enforcement, but if tactical gear is your bag, go for it. Tactical firearms, though, are for any that can own them. Like I said originally, here in California it just seems like too much work and expense to keep ahead of the ever changing regulations. Are Keltecs in the "black rifle" category? Almost bought one, but didn't like the seemingly crappy manufacturing and fit. Anyway, glad that while I'm a "traditionalist" preferring a beautiful wood stock sitting under a blued barrel and action of a bolt or lever gun over synthetics, I do own a few tupperware handguns. No Glocks, though. They don't fit me well. Thanks for the reassurances and the welcome. Peace and God bless, Wolfsong.
Sounds like you like blued-steel and walnut rifles, among other things. I like polymer autoloading pistols, among other things. Neither of us have a political problem with the other's preferences. Put 'er there, pal!
