Hello from Virginia
« on: January 30, 2010, 03:29:00 PM »
Hello from Southside Va. A friend introduced me to GBO a few days ago. Since then I've been poking around checking things out. This is a great forum with many topics that are both interesting and informative. I have owned guns and hunted since I was 10 years old. I love hunting, fishing, shooting, and all other outdoor activities. I am a millwright, pipefitter, welder and have worked at the same place for 37 yrs. I am a firm believer in the right to own and bear arms. I also am a longtime member of the NRA and appreciate their defense of our rights. Thank you for the opportunity to join GBO

I drove a  few years for Powhatan Ready Mix in Chesterfield and then went to Grap Equipment operating a concrete pump. Left there in 03. How are things looking in Virginia? Economy and such??

no, Sorry I did not get a chance to meet a lot of folks. I was busy with a big project, and then retired. got tired of seeing good workers get laid off.
