Hi everyone from Tampa, Florida

Hey there guys and gals. Just found this forum and it looks like exactly what I was looking for! I'm an avid "mil-surp" rifle collector. I've been shooting pistols for years, but never really thought about carrying until recently. Not sure if it's the state of the economy; the socialization of our government; or maybe I'm just getting paranoid! But, I think it's time for everyone to take a stand and do what it takes to protect themselves and their families.

Having said that, we don't need a bunch of knuckleheads running around with guns, who have no idea how to use them. Carrying a weapon is a huge responsibility, and proper training is very VERY important.

Part of that training is talking to your "peers" to find out what they do; don't do; have done and gotten into trouble as a result Soooo... Here I am! I'm hoping to learn a lot from you folks and, hopefully, share a few ideas that you might find helpful as well.

Here's to you! Hope to hear from you soon.

Rick
