Howdy! Name is Paul. I lived most of my life in the Midwest, (mainly IA and MO) but recently moved out to California, (yeah,yeah I know. What was I thinking? That's a long discussion for another time) I've been a gun nut from about the age of 10. If it goes bang when you pull the trigger I like it, (exception being a snub-nose .357. That combination is just stupid!) Since my move to the socialistic republic of California I have renewed my interest in black powder firearms, since I do not have to sell my soul, document the transaction in triplicate, and wait 6 months in order to own one. That last bit was a little sarcastic. It's not that bad out here.....yet. I like to fish, hunt, 4wheel, and boat among other things. I am also an unapologetic defender of our constitutional protected right to keep and bare arms, un-infringed.
