Greetings all.
Since I don't see a "new members intro" forum on here, I thought I'd introduce myself to the locals. In the distant past I was a handgun owner and had my CPL. At some point, life got in the way and I had to sell my guns. Last year my wife told me that she would like to learn how to shoot and wanted to have a gun of her own. Who am I to argue with that? My good friend Bucks Gun Shop put her through a very thorough Pistol Safety Class and helped her figure out what kind of pistol she wanted. She decided on a semi-automatic and really liked his Colt Mustang. I ended up getting her a Sig Sauer P238 for Christmas. She has proven to be a natural shooter and loves going to the range. She likes it so much that she bought me an early birthday present: A Sig 1911 Carry. We've been hitting the range every other week or so and have an appointment with the EPD to get our CPL's in a couple of weeks. Thanks to Bucks for making both purchases as painless as possible. As it turns out, my wife likes my 1911 so much, she now wants one of her own, so another purchase is in my future.
In addition to all the other help, Buck's turned me on to the Open Carry movement and this forum. I'm not a political kind of guy, but I am alarmed at the steady erosion of our basic rights over the last decade plus and I ascribe to the theory that an armed society is a polite society. I can certainly see myself participating in the Open Carry cause.
Since Bucks likes this picture of his wares so much, I'll post it here just for him.
I hope you enjoy my pistol porn.
