Hello. 1st time posting so I’ll introduce myself.
My name is Michael but everyone calls me DUKE. I’m a US Marine Corps veteran and I’ve always been conscience of self defense but never owned a gun until October of 2016. My 4 children are now adults so I now feel secure with Firearms in the house. I’m now a member of the NRA,IDPA, and USCCA and I own 4 hand guns and an AR15.
My EDC concealed weapon is a Springfield XDs .45 with 2 additional 6 round mags, my Tactical Striker Pen/LED Strobe/flashlight, my Kershaw Ken Onion designed Knife and my back up ankle holster packing my Glock 42 with an extra 6 round mag.
I love Sport Shooting and competing with my Springfield RO Elite Operator in 9mm with iron sights or my Ruger GP100 .22LR revolver for Plinking is my favorite pastime now days.
The situation our country and the world has been in since 2016 has convinced my wife of the need of adequate home defense and she now hopes I am finished purchasing Guns for a while.
Sorry for rambling. Its Interesting to read people’s posts. I like the Community.
I’m from the great state of MICHIGAN

My name is Jack, callsign Simjack. I am 66 1/2 years old and born and raised in TN. Myself and my wife have been members for about a month now and I just figured out how to introduce myself
I had a .22 rifle where the ammo was loaded below the length of the barrel and a .410 gauge single shot shotgun at the age of 10.
I grew up in a small town with a lot of areas to shoot. A man that lived in the town had a shop where he built muzzle loaders and he built one for me when I was 11, but died before the woodwork was sanded and finished. It is a .54 caliber with a hair trigger that takes very little pressure to fire. I finished it and it still shoots to this day.
I have had a CCP since 1980 and my wife got hers in 2002. We joined a local pistol range and I can hit targets easily at 30 feet. My wife is not proficient and at 10 feet still needs practice. She still anticipates the noise, recoil, and lacks a steady trigger pull. When we go to the pistol range, I don’t shoot but instead help her (I don’t like to clean more than one pistol per session) and I am teaching her that task now. 
We joined the USCCA for the legal representation. I went onto the attorney database, but there is only one attorney in Chattanooga. I reached out to them as well as to the USCCA customer support. The attorney finally answered and said he and a partner were both versed in 2A and self defense cases. I still am trying to get them and the USCCA to address my concerns, but now seems to be bad timing with the COVID-19 pandemonium.
I have already started some conversations in the community forum so if you made it this far, hello.

Been doing eMail since '92. Have never joined the social hangouts. Ie. I don’t do facebook,Twitter or the others that I know of. I have several special purpose eMail addresses. Although this is Dick B. I most usually sign as “db”. Tks, I will drop in from time to time to see if I can catch any thing quick.

Hi I am Kelly, I had been thinking about joining for a while. Then recently I talked with a member, who convinced me to stop just thinking about it and take action. I am an FFL, and got into it because I love guns. After building a couple of ARs, and I decided I could help others. Be safe out there.

Welcome Simjack. Its nice to know you’ll have legal support should the need arise. In todays climate the Leftist Media would eat you alive if you had to justify a lethal self defense decision and were without legal counsel.
