I got to agree with Digme on this one. I had a job that I was fired from last February, mostly because of my involvement with the Pink Pistols. And guess what...I'm not GAY!! Still, my homophobic boss, didn't care. I hope he'll care after my lawyer gets through with him and the company.
Anyway, I'm 48, almost 49, and I found another job 3 months later. Not the best in the world, but hey, it pays the bills, and my new boss doesn't care that I'm involved with the Pink Pistols. He knows the PP are pro-2A, and that's what matters to him.
I've known other people who started over at later ages than me too. So, to quote Tim Allen "Never Give up, Never Surrender!!"
