Hello all, just signed up here last night and figured I'd say hi, introduce myself. I hail from arizona as you can see, and just two days ago purchased my 10th firearm(well, ok, my dad bought it since im not 18 yet).Its a parkerized '52 dated cz52 in near-unnissued condition. That gun was acctually what made me register here, I figure since I've hit ten guns now im well on my way to becoming a real gun nut, so the next logical step would be to sign up here.

Luckily I come from a very pro-gun family, so pro-gun my dad saw a good deal when a friends friend offered him a very good condition all original Colt ar-15sp1 for $400 in the early 80's. Couple other pieces in the collection include an AOW Mossberg 500c,and a colt detective special my grandpa used as his carry gun as a Suffolk County deputy sheriff, and a couple mausers(all matching Turk,no releation,and a non-matching vz-24) that I've become pretty profficient with.

My next gun purchase will hopefully be some form of 1911 or SIG-Sauer in either .45ACP,.40S&W or possibly even 357 Sig that I can use for open carry in two years when i turn 18.

That about sums it up, if anyone has any question for me I'll be more than happy to answer, since I know a 16 year old gun owner sometimes makes people nervous, especially with my kind of collection. More than one family memer or family friend has steered well clear of my room after catching sight of the big gun cabinet in the corner of my room.
 
Welcome, Turkish.

For a 16-year-old, you've got a fine gun collection going. Hope it continues to grow and you never grow tired of this hobby.
 
oh, don't worry about that, I HIGHLY doubt I'll ever get tired of this hobby, living in such a gun friendly state has made sure of that.nothing like firing off a few strings of .308 from jesse venturas minigun from predator to peak your interest.
 
Welcome to THR

With your real guns I think Winston Smith is going to be jealous:D My mom is a little anti but gave me 4 'passes' to a local gun range to rent and shoot for Xmass. She just wrote down on a slip of paper that she would take me. Hopfully I can get some guns of my own in a few years if I show I am responsible. I don't post here that much but instead soak up information like a spong in the desert.

There's lots to see and do here; stories and songs to tell.
 
Yeah is Winston still having trouble with his mom letting him get that new airsoft??

Welcome to the boards there is lots to learn. Sounds like a nice collection!
 
Welcome Laddie! Sit a spell and draw from the knowledge assembled here.
 
Consider yourself lucky, I can't even convince my mom to let me get 1 gun until my 18th...Every time I even mention the word she gets scared.
"What do you need that for? Are you gonna take a trip to the UT observation tower?"
Ugh. And the above is in reference to a Mosin Nagant by the way, not some evil (to use the term VERY loosely) black gun either.
 
Welcome aboard.

I am a new member, too. And I am slightly jealous about your collection. AR-15 has haunted my dreams a long time. I have a S&W 617 revolver, H&K USP 9mm and a Sako P54 rimfire rifle. All are very fun toys. I am into handgunning and especially action shooting.
