G day yall!
Call Me "Nathan"
I've been interested in guns since jr high, lucky me the teacher never caught me drawing guns and sketching swords in class
My dad is a fence sitter on the subject and, has some dubious opinions about the "cold dead hands" remark, and the reasonableness of keeping firearms for defense. He did however teach me firearm safety, redcoat line firing tactics, leading a moving target, a few things he learned in the army, and proper way to pull a trigger.
And he didn't flip when I admitted that the long locking box in the garage was a rifle case with an actual rifle in it (his words “you mean it shoots real bullets?).
That was an M9130 mosin nagant, I didn't tell him the spare barrel for my 20 guage mosberg 500 was also in the box. Anyhow, I've since moved the rifle out of his garage and into my place, But I’d like to store at least ONE weapon off site. Ah well.
The mosberg is my home defense gun, loaded with slugs (the short barrel has no place for a choke) bought it from big 5 as a combo with a long and short barrel (24 and 18 inches I think) So with the pistol grip stock and the cheap red dot sight make it a nice home defense tool. I made a cable lock for it, with a large combination padlock I can operate in the dark.
My first gun was a north american arms 5 shot 22 winmag revolver
Got a pocket holster and it makes me real safe at night around the house. Sometimes I almost forget I have it. Haven't accidentally gone anywhere with a loaded gun yet. Thank God.
Looking to expand my collection, but bills come first. (I know what 'm doing with my economic stimulus check! tehehe)
I live in california, behind enemy lines
so no “assault” weapons for now.
I produced a few gun rights videos using audio from some old radio ads and a lotta banners I came across.
See em here
And made up some business cards with some "liberal" gun rights groups (for educating my liberal friends) not all the groups are liberal but they include immigrants, blacks, gays jews and women. As well as a couple Democrat pro gun blogs. Have a gander...
sorry bout the buba scanner (photo) I'm cheap, don't have a real scanner
I leave you now with a thought on effective weapons
I may fade in and out, or just lurk every now and then. Real life takes precedent ya know.
