Well I've been busy and have made a few posts without an introduction; so...
The wife and I have a friend with multiple disabilities who lives with us and something about the move has triggered health problems and has kept me hopping since the move so I've not been able to sit down and post a proper intro.
Recently moved to Colorado from Columbia Missouri, originally from Indiana which has a CCW law dating back to 1934 (Florida was NOT the first), and issues at age 18 so let's just say I've carried a handgun for way more years of my life than not.
I'm a communications tech and recently returned from 3 years in Iraq as a civilian contractor and was only going to take 6 months off before going back when the opportunity for the wife to take a job in Colorado came up, and that has turned into a year now. During my absence was when our disabled friend moved in to keep the wife company while I was gone. I am "On the roster" with my former employer for a contract in Afghanistan but with the political uncertainty I'm not sure I can get on another contract, there just aren't that many communications billets open .
I competed in IPSIC and NRA Action (The Bianchi Cup) and high power rifle for nearly 20 years before breaking my right shoulder and just can't take the recoil anymore. I carried Glocks for several years (even had "GLOCK9" as a license plate in Missouri) but am again carrying a basically John M Browning 1911 design, a Para-Ordnance P-14 with a double stack 13 round mag. I was "single again" during that 20 year period and was accused of being a member of the "Gun of the Month Club" and have a "few" Black Rifles etc.
I'm a avid bourbon and rye drinker, not much for beer, but a good bourbon and a good cigar is hard to beat, my "bunker" contains over 2 dozen bottles including some of the finest bourbons and ryes made: George T Stagg, William Larue Weller, Pappy van Winkle, van Winkle Lot B, Thomas H Handy, Sazerac....
Looks like a good crew here and I have learned a lot on Colorado gun laws, and from what I've learned I think I'm going to like it here.
(well not so much on the wealth part)"Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year..."
