New - Memphis


Recommended Posts

Hi Ya'll--

I live near U of M- wife's a professor there. I'm a shrink (psychologist). I work in E. Memphis @ Polar & Yates.

I am new to weapons- I just got a Glock 19 because my wife and I can both shoot one well. I inherited 2 (circa 1950 or so) handguns from my dad, who had a hobby of target shooting when he was on active duty in the Army. S&W .38 Special- long barrel, .22 Ruger long barrel target pistol.

My first passion outside my family is bicycles-- I have 8 bikes, but only 4 or 5 are working right now. They're kinda like guns, but bigger and more expensive. Much harder to conceal!

I am certified to teach bike safety to adults and kids, and I have found that gun safety is a lot like bike safety-- there is a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of folks have knee-jerk fear reactions based on bad information.

Anyway, I've lurked a couple of days.

Good to be here.

First, my condolences on living anywhere near Memphis. :eek:

Among my degrees is one in Psychology. Again my condolences. :wall:

Perhaps you should become mentally healthy, sell the Glocks (:wave:) and move from Memphis and change professions? :D

Seriously, glad you found us. Except for a few of us, we are a pretty smart group of folks who disagree on a lot of stuff but are really pretty sharp (except for the folks who disagree with me).

I bought a Motobecane Grand Record road bike , back in 1984 when that meant something.
