Hello to all!!! Saw this site a couple of times as I have been growing in this area. And liked it!!! So I joined. : )

I started learning respect, proper handling and to shoot from my Dad "a WWII Vet" when I was young. Last year or so I have reengaged in target shooting. For me it is relaxing and enjoyable. "Accept recently, lol, the part about finding ammo..." And I don't mind that it affords one protection.

I do have a big pet peeve....I don't care if a gun is unloaded, I was taught to never point a weapon at anything you are not wanting to destroy!!! I see people everywhere, gun shops, shows, the range flashing people...I believe in handling all guns as if loaded and with respect.

So I just joined, looking to grow and learn more. Looking forward to meeting good people.

Looking for good places to learn, shoot and add to what I have around. In south of Nashville area.

Welcome David.

I too was taught the right way to handle a Gun by my Dad. Very appreciative of that fact since it has served me well these many years.  Too bad not every Dad imparted the same Gift.

Welcome to TGO.  Bear in mind that a lot of the people you see muzzle-raking people at gun shops are utterly and completely new to firearms but intrigued about owning them thanks to the recent political climate.  Not an excuse for them to commit such a significant safety transgression, but an opportunity to educate folks properly when it happens.
