    Hi everyone. I’m a small town guy from utah. Definitely a Republican and once a libertarian. I abandoned the libertarians because when I researched the economic advantages of a large military presence I could no longer support their views of foreign affairs. I’m sure many on here won’t appreciate my ultra conservative views but I doubt any of us are here to win a popularity contest. I don’t envy any president or governor. Both jobs are very demanding I am sure.

    anyway, I’m a huge gun lover. I don’t just like them I love them! I try to collect as many as possible. I prefer good ol levers and wheels but some of the newer semi autos are fun as well. I have three kids that I have had shooting since they were 4 years old. Started all of them on a .22 caliber single shot. I also have an amazing wife. Most perfect person anyone could ever meet.

    I hope to have some great conversations here.

    Welcome. This is a pretty good place to learn. A lot of diversity and you can even learn a lot from the nuts if you read between the lines.

    I’m not a collector but use firearms regularly for practical purposes in my work. Mostly modern firearms for me—easier to suppress and maintain in the rain, snow, mud, chemicals and salt. I like blues steel and fine grained wood but they just don’t suit my use case.

    Anyway, have fun. See you around.

    I hope it’s not too easy to be booted around here.

    Good Luck!
    This Board has drifted very left over the years.
    "They" don't converse.
    They label as if the label proof.

    Thanks for the advice but if conservatives silence themselves in fear they will live in ideological prisons. We must speak out. Peacefully obviously.

    Yeah, advocating for gun rights with violence makes as much sense as a turtle on a fence post.

    Welcome. Don’t think we’ll have much in common but open to conversation.

    As a "conservative" here you must carefully choose every word you post, EVERY WORD! Were you "progressive"...not so much, you'll learn soon enough as the rest of us did. I'm also pro-2nd Amendment down to my bone marrow, welcome!
