I've always liked guns but I never really shot much or talked about guns with my friends or guys at work until my dad got a M1 Garand about 2 years ago. When he showed it to me it was "Love at First Sight". From then on all I wanted to talk about was M1's, reloading, shooting, etc.
Well, long story short, almost everbody said at some point "YOU like guns? I had no idea!"
When I joined here and was thinking of a handle it just popped into my head "ClosetGunNut"! Sure. Sounds cool! Why not?
It's my handle on the other forums I frequent: THR, RimFireCentral, CMP, HuntingPA, etc.
That one Garand opened the flood gates and now I have: 2 M1 Garands, 2 M1 Carbines, a Ruger 10/22 and a Savage 12 FVSS in 22-250.
