still single, and waiting for one of you to hook me up with a suitable female, aged 21 - 30, income at least $60k a year, should be willing to be my 'sugar-mommy' and buy me ammo and guns, oh yeah, and she should be at least 'average looking'. i'll settle for a "4" on the scale of 1-10.
dont leave me hanging like you did last time guys.

Almost 35, married w/ 2 girls, Active Duty Air Force that has deployed an average of 120 days a year for the past 15 years. 5 years to go, then I haven't a clue.
Shoot, reload and hunt when I'm not on the HD 96 wide glide while I'm home.
I'm in air transportation, (think of Fed ex for the military) about to head back to the desert for the 7th time since the gulf war :banghead: yes it does get old, but every trip has bought a new rifle with the tax free allowances. This trip will get me a scout rifle custom built to Col Coopers specs on a Rem model 7 youth rifle in 7-08.
BTW, THANKS,... thats YOUR tax dollars at work!

Didn't look through to see if I needed an update, just assumed it was needed.
22, 135lbs, 5'5'', married(Sunday will be 6 months ), still taking classes a couple at a time to eventually get a degree and maybe become a teacher, working as a CST (Customer Service Technician. I work a lot harder than the title makes it sound. I fix equipment, make sure it works, clean it, load it on a big truck and deliver it to a hospital. Then when they are done with it I gotta go back out in a big truck and pick it up to bring it back and start the whole process again.
I average 45-60 hours a week doing a man's job. It's really bad on the back.
When not in my work uniform I look pretty normal and average. Still haven't figured out which famous person I look like, but have had many people tell me I look like one.
My husband, Jon, is a graphic designer for a company that publishes children's books. He's 22 also, but he's 12 days younger.
I drive a green 93 Chevy Blazer and Jon drives a red 89 Ford Taurus.
Together we now have:
Ruger SP101 in .357 2" barrel
Ruger Mark II Slabslide (my wedding gift to Jon)
Glock 19 ( I stole it from dad who stole it from mom)
A Spanish Libar I think(it's a .25 and a bunch of fun, but not really sure what it is)
Most recently a Kel-Tec P11(my carry gun)
Now I need to work on getting either another Kel-Tec or one that looks like it that Jon would like. It was his idea to have matching guns. Well I found mine now it's his turn.
Also eventually looking for a rifle.

30 yrs male, Fulltime computer geek for a University (one of 5 republicans in a department of 70 faculty and staff), Single no g/f, not sure if thats good or bad, one chocolate lab named Kate. Own 2 cars and a pickup, newest is a 92. Oh yeah my honey, 1953 14' Lone start runabout with a 1975 6 hp evinrude.
I am trying to buy 1-3 firemarms a year from a 5 year absense in buying, still working on what I consider a utilitarian collection, other words firearm must have a use other than to punch paper at the range. Few more firearms and I can start to buy the "toy" variety. I mainly use my tax return to purchase firearms and some money I save each month. I currently have have 2 autos and a wheelgun, 2 rifles, .22lr and 30-06, 5 shotguns 4 12 guage and one 20 and a .50 hawken. Also part of an inhertance from my grandparents gun collection a few safe queen pistols from the 19th century.
I am also a part time nursing student so tuition has been eating away at the firearm fund. My job pays well for a bachelor, I surely wouldn't want to try and raise a family on it though.

74 this year. retired USN. since my SS has kicked in, i can afford a gun a month. have a spectacular friend/wife/woman with only one fault, she wants every gun i buy. had her (#4) 25 yrs next month. kids are all 50 or so and the only dependent we have is a snauzer. live 3 miles out of a small town and plan moving 10 miles out next month. getting crowded out here. damn yankees found this county and came back to stay. mountains, forests, clear streams, mild winters, cant blame them. most of them are good folks. one affable fellow i stopped by to see, going fishing, was having his yard trees cut down and the stumos dug up. i queried that. he said he had never had a decent size yard and grass to mow. here i am, planting trees to kill the grass back. somebody said it takes all kinds. he spends his summer mowing, i spend my summer shooting and fishing. oh, my job of work, not a damned thing. when i retired, i retired. i was the senior smallarms marksmanship instructor in the USN when i retired and still teach shooting because i enjoy it so much, especially women that want to tote guns. all for free of course.
pitiful as it is, thats my story. my moniker says it all. i am a happy old sailor.

I have bought my final gun
I am 74 and retired.
Married since 1952 to the woman I dearly love.
Spent seven rewarding years in Naval Aviation.
Worked for NBC for ten years.
Owned a broadcast post-production for thirty years.
Presently live in the Sanoran Desert (Arizona)
Shoot my guns at least once each week.
I have bought my final gun ( I think I have said this at least fifty times).
Edited: I have just seen a super pistol on the internet. I may have to change my mind about the gun I bought in December 2004 being my final gun purchase.

Late to the party (no surprise there ), but I’ll play … lets see now …
28
Independently wealthy gentleman of leisure
Body of Adonis
Intellect rivaling Socrates and Einstein
Involved in an open, but ever so meaningful relationship with Shania’s twin …
Crap! :banghead: Waking up sucks!
Think I was trapped in one of Spiff’s dreams.
Ah well, back to reality …
44 year young Peter Pan wanna-be who refuses to fully grow up
Investment Advisor (no we’re not all rich yuppies)
Married, and still call her Sweetie after 20+ years
No kids unless you count a neurotic Beagle, and a cat I’ll gladly donate to your local Szechwan restaurant.
Repatriated American - refugee from our northern neighbor being gratefully assimilated in the south (y’all)
Good health, and relatively good shape (compared to what I’m not sure)
Enough guns (for the moment anyway)
Like most of you here – life is good.
