Hey there, Sawyer here.
Been following this forum for a while as well as others as my interest in firearms has grown. Soon I will be purchasing my own firearms and I think this forum will help me make informed decisions and help me with any problems.
I'm 20 as of now and don't have any history with firearms through my family, but fortunately my neighbor, a retired Vietnam ranger and private security contractor has taken an interest in my interest and is willing to teach me how to shoot handguns.
I know that my 21st birthday present to myself will be my very own handgun, something all steel and solid. I'm still deciding between guns like a CZ, S&W gen. 3 auto, a taurus 92 thing, or my dream gun, a sig (but thats a little out of my price capabilities.
After that I will invest in a battle carbine/rifle, which is also a toss up between a kel-tec su-16, an AR 180 (hopefully they will come into production within a few years, or an AK/SKS.
Currently I participate in airsoft sports and train in my backyard with an m9 styled pistol. I also like to windsurf in the Gulf of mexico, build scale models and watch movies.
I'm a student at the University of Florida, and have been closely watching developing bills regarding carry on college campuses, because I feel banning guns on campuses is an unreasonable obstruction of our rights.
