Hello the camp!
At 63+, I am a long time shooter. I have 7 years Military (3 active Army, 4 USAF reserve), and 22 year Law Enforcement experience. Much of that I was a rangemaster, firearms and tactics instructor, armorer (Glock and Beretta) and weapons evaluator for the department. I even ran a police academy for a couple years after I was forced out on disability. I tried teaching High School for 7 years, and was a domestic Security Contractor for a couple years patrolling the power grid in the High Sierra wilderness, in a Jeep with an AR15 and 1911. I was looking for Achmed and the Mujahidin (who fortunately I never ran into!) I did see lots of bear, mountain lion, and deer, though, and could plink with my weapons any time I liked! All that "Martial" stuff is behind me now. Currently I am a Realtor for Coldwell Banker in Grass Valley, CA, in the beautiful Sierra Foothills. I am also active with the Sheriff's Search and rescue as ground pounder and a man tracker.
My two favorite long guns are my USGI Inland M1 carbine (which I carried as an LEO trunk weapon much of my career) and my new 582 Series Mini-14, which I call my M1 Carbine with a hard on. My third favorite long gun is my PTR91 (HK191 Clone) in .308 with a 3x9 Redfied Revenge with BDC. In 4th and 5th place are my GP WASR 10/63 Romanian AK (bought from Atlantic Firearms- which was used in Iraqi by a Private Military Contractor with SOC Intl) and my AR15, which is like an erector set, and keeps changing configurations based on whimsy.
Until I picked up my CW45 last week, my only two handguns were my Glock 19 that I have had for 21 years and a Taurus 85 .38 Chief's Special clone. Oh, I forgot, I have an Iver Johnson .38 S&W top break made in the 1890s, that was a constable's revolver in the Mid-West at the turn of the 19th Century. They call it a "Belly Gun" for a reason. If it isn't stuck in the guy's belly, you won't hit him!
