A real SOB with little tolerance for those who disown their rights and even less for those who wish to take mine.
Other than that, I am nice guy who enjoys guns (duh), home theater (but no TV, haven't watched for 7 1/2 years), wood working, mechanical (my current line of work from here on out, my chosen career), being a father (actually belongs at the top of the list), reader, music lover, gourmet chef (my previous occupation, I still miss it from time to time, but thank god I can cook at home...eating out...what is that?) and new to the world of metal fabrication so that I can build that gun that has been in my head for over a year now.
To answer your question...
It takes time to own all of these guns if you have a lower middle class salary, but it makes you that much more proud to have them.
I don't buy guns I intend to sell or trade off later. I buy guns to keep until I die because they strike a chord in my soul and I have just got to have them for the simple fact that they make me smile (which is hard to do).
Guns are assets. Too many just view them as tools or toys.
A gun should be for life. Tools and toys are for use, abuse, destruction, and eventual replacement.
Makes a big difference when you treat them accordingly.
And since you asked and told (were you old enough to remember or comprehend Clinton's "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy for the military?) I will reveal that I am 33 going a very grouchy 63.
However, many will describe me as negative, but I am simply a realist who misunderstood and highly opinionated. I am not the picture of doom and gloom. I am usually happy or nuetral, but I am not about feeling any kind of bad for telling it like it is and most Americans don't deal with the truth very well.
