Hello from Chicago
« on: October 28, 2003, 08:08:45 AM »
I just found this site and I'm glad I did. I enjoy discussions about guns and shooting. I am 38 years old, happily married, and have 2 beautiful daughters. I own a machine shop where we rebuild engines for cars and trucks. My father started me into guns at age 12 by teaching me skeet shooting. I shoot with him a couple of times a month. If the weather is bad outside we go to an indoor range with our handguns. I have been hunting a few times in my life; But, It never really impressed me. I enjoy fishing much more.

:D   Welcome!!  Grab a cup of cup of coffee, pull up a chair and pass on some of what you've learned.    Will be looking forward to to seeing some of your posts.

Thanks Butler. :D  Well I will tell you this, The first thing that I learned here is that I have a place to come and get answers to questions that I may have. Hopefully I can contribute with the little knowledge which I have acquired through the years. I can see that there are a lot of people here with more experience and knowledge about firearms then myself. I am really glad I found this place. :grin:
