If loose gun laws are good for criminals why do criminals support gun control?
Der Alte - German for the old one and at 78 I think its appropriate:)
Its a shame that youth is wasted on the young.
I used to be buckeyelcpl, because I went to Ohio State, and was a Lance Corporal of Marines. Then I went to the CivDiv, so I chose my favorite caliber.

A joke and reminder about my own arrogance. Hebrew very loosely translated as someone who is rightous in the eyes of God.
Been using it for over a decade. Never come close to being accurate.
Call sign from long ago and far away.
I like cammo! I should not have put the Girl in there though, I picked it not knowing just how much time I would spend here. Maybe I'll change it to just cammo.

Mine is a nickname given to me by my former roommate and fellow firefighter/paramedic.
It was a play on both my last name, and as he put it, possessing a command presence on the scene of major incidents. The chief once described me as a guy "who definitely does not possess a milquetoast personality."
It's followed me from job to job for the last 25 years.

I took the name from Steven Seagal's main character from "Hard to Kill", Mason Storm. I used the name Jason instead of Mason.

Middle name and a number I just pulled out of thin air.
