Been lurking a while and figured I'd introduce myself.
I'm first and foremost a father of three great kids. I've been married to the worlds best woman for 21 years. I'm the grandson of, the youngest son of, and I am a veteran myself. The only hunting I do is killing rats in the barns and chicken houses on the farm where we raise (small time) cattle in north Alabama. For that purpose I employ a 6" Ruger Single Six .22.
I kill many, many rats with this weapon.
My profession as a referigeration tech often places me in back alleys and on rooftops in the dead of night and on the hard livin' side of Birmingham/ Tuscaloosa. Because of this I carry a pre-Mod 10 S&W, 2",.38spl during the summer and a Springer Micro Compact .45 (flawless out of the box, BTW) during the winter. I've not had reason to fire either off of the range yet, but I've been mighty comforted by their companionship on several occasions.
I've learned a lot from the folks here and would like to say thanks for the great info.
Also I'd like to add that the attitude and courtesy of the folks here'bouts is refreshing and shiney.
Lookin' foreward to being a part of THR.

Welcome, Andy,

I also enjoy this forum and learn something every day while visiting here. Take those pistols to the range and have fun. They've waited too long for that trip.
 
Greetings

Greetings, Andy. Welcome to THR. Speaking of ALA, I've been through that region and my wife and I have talked about moving there in few years.
 
Welcome To The High Road Andy My Friend-

Come' on in and pull up a chair; as this is the best gun forum on the world
wide web. Lots of good information can be found here, and lots of friendly
folks. Enjoy~!:D

BTW, I'm 16 miles SSW of Birmingham in Bessemer at:

Simmons Sporting Goods
2001- 2nd Ave North
Bessemer, AL 35020
PX: 205-425-4720 or 205-426-0490
 
Greetings!

I, too, love northern Alabama. Beautiful country with fine folk, I really like the Cullman area and have considered relocating there but gosh darnit, Texas is a hard state to leave. :)

You'll like it here at THR, you'll find lots of Firefly fans here too. :D
 
Thanks for the welcome guys.
I'm familiar with Simmons, Dan. Y'all sold me a Bearcat last year which has since killed well over a hunnerd barn rats in the hands of my oldest son. It is a fine firearm and was sold at a fair price. I will be back for more.
Glad so many folks like my part of our fair land. We're somewhat provincial and often backward when compared to city folk, but there's a simple, unhurried part of America thrivin' here what's been long dead in other places. I suspect it still lives in small towns and pockets across this great land. At least I hold hope that it does, for my kids sake.
Again, thanks for the welcome. I'll be seein' ya.
Andy

Welcome to THR, bandoo! This is the best place on the web if firearms are your thing. We've got some of the most knowledgeable people you're likely to ever talk to - I learn something here every day. It's a fine community by any standards.

...But when that guy Cousin Mike gets to talkin'... oh boy - watch out! :D ;)

Good to have ya'!
