I'm one of the old guys. When I was born, Truman was President.
As a kid, I grew up with guns but never had much use for them myself. Then about three years ago, something in my brain clicked on and I decided to take a pistol class.
Since then I have fired a minimum of 10,000 rounds per year (and have the empty wallet to prove it).
My main carry gun is a S&W640 snubbie loaded with Speer Gold Dot JHP 135gr 38special +p. Sometimes I carry my Kimber Custom TLE II loaded with Speer Gold Dot 230Gr JHP. On rare occasion, I will carry my S&W620.
I compete frequently in USPSA competitions, go to the range weekly and get additional training as often as the finance minister (she who must be obeyed) will let me.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment as originally intended by our Founding Fathers.
I use the same user name on every forum I frequent because I lack imagination. Heck, at my age I'm happy to remember my real name.
I consider myself an activist, so I open carry frequently just to let the people know that good guys DO carry guns, but mostly I carry concealed.
Finally, (as you have already noted, perhaps) I suffer from oral diariha.:redface:

Welcome, Paul. I was born in Janurary of the year the Chicago Tribune declared "Dewey Wins!" So I too have been around a while. Glad you found us and look forward to your participation in CC.
