I guess it's time

I've been slinking around here for a while. I've found a lot of interesting informative info, and learned some stuff. I was procrastinating on the introduction until I could be sure this wasn't just a wild neurotic bunch of semi-paranoid, crazy gun nuts and bedwetters.................but it really seems to be a decent bunch of folks anyway.

So, hello from a Hamilton County resident that I think will fit in pretty good.

After growing up on Roy Rogers and Gene and the like, killing cans as a kid with my Dad's old 22, and quite a bit of hunting in previous years, I don't know a lot about guns. But I've learned a lot here already. It's a slow process for a slow guy like me.

I resisted getting a carry permit until fairly recently because I was really irritated about the whole thing. I just put my truck gun back in the house. I finally gave in, but I'm still irritated. The great men who wrote the rules all those years ago didn't mention jumping through all the hoops and fingerprints and all that mess. I'm doing my best to conform just a little. I'm irritated about the overall attitude of many non gun folks who have been so brainwashed for so long until it's almost impossible to make them open up their minds and see. I'm irritated that my grandson can't draw a picture of a gun or a tank at school. He'll be okay, of course, but so many of those other kids don't have anybody to teach them. I am encouraged, though, with the progress we've made in recent years and hope we can continue to do so.

I'm looking forward to figuring out my way around here and getting to the point I can contribute in some way.

Thanks for having a place like this for folks like me!

Rotzaruck,

Some here may admit to the wild, the neurotic, the semi-paranoid, and crazy gun nuts descriptions.

But I'm bettin' that NO ONE admits to wettin' the bed ... ... ... (at least I'm hoping that no one admits to that one).

Seems your background and sense of humor ought to stand you in good stead here.

So welcome to TGO!
