    New guy from Virginia

    I go by the name "Monk"...... I live in Danville,VA...... on the NC/VA line near Greensboro.
    I served in the U.S.Armed Forces for a little over eight years,VN Vet.(67-68) Have owned weapons since the early 70's. Was a member of a gun club in Colo. for a lot of years.(200;100;50;combat range;Trap). I was good with the trap. My two favorite hand guns are my 357mag ruger(ss)GP100, and my Dan wessen 44mag. I now carry a Bersa cc 380. Also like darts and motorcycles.

    I've been looking though this site a few days, and it seems to be a nice and well informed group of people, which I hope to get to know better as time goes on..... Monk

    Welcome from another VA Military boy. I am also into Darts and motorcycles. Sounds like we need to grab a beer some day and throw some darts while talking about guns and bikes

    Welcome from the Richmond area, been to Danville several times for work.
    Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

    Welcome from South Carolina.....I'm of the old school, so I refer to darts as "arrows"...Maybe we can all meet and throw some arrows.. Must be from my time in England...
    Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
