Greetings from San Antonio.

Thanks to the mods for providing such a great forum, and thanks to all the contributors for generating such excellent discussion!

I'm a 51 year old native Texan, in San Antonio since '89, East Texas before then. Spent a bit of time at some of my uncle's resort properties (Ft. Benning, Ft. Hood, Ft. Riley, etc.) in a couple of past lives.

Been a shooter just about all my life. I still have my first .22 -- an Ithaca Saddle Gun, single shot, falling block -- looks like a little Winchester 94. For me the most exciting part of turning 21, was, "Wow! Now I can buy handguns!" Started with a Ruger Single Six and went on from there.

I've got a variety of weapons now and especially enjoy the ARs (.223 & .308) and an Uzi I picked up a couple of months ago. I just got back into 1911s (first time since the Cav) and love my Kimber Desert Warrior.

My young bride and I both have our CHLs. I look forward to participating here, and hope to get into IDPA shooting. That looks like fun and some good practice.
