    Thanks for the welcome.

    Yes, I live in Maryland, and Yes, I am stuck in MD and cannot move. I and other Marylanders have fought long and hard to stop the massive number of gun haters and gun grabbers who are elected by a population of the same mind set. We lawful gun owners and shooters are in the minority, we can not win at the ballot box, nor can we win with any local news media. Every time someone gets shot by a criminal in MD the Media calls it GUN VIOLENCE, NOT VIOLENT CRIMINAL OR GANG VIOLENCE. It's always the GUNs and the lawful gun owners who are at fault. Never the thugs who use them to commit crime. So we live with it, and we deal with it, without asking for help from other States with lawful gun owners, and we sure as hell don't get any help from the NRA. But we have a lot of NRA members including my self. So don't tell me to move. I will stay and fight until the last one of us is left standing.

    A lot of replies to my intro follow-up thread COWARDS, suggested that I stick around and get to know folks before I spout any fire and flames. Fine! But "brothers in arms" don't attempt to belittle each other or make sarcastic remarks, instead of engaging in "good conversation." That's all I am looking for is "good conversation" from folks who have similar interests in guns, gun smithing, reloading shooting and protection of 2A Rights, regardless where you live in the USA. I will say it again, "I don't like sarcasm, sarcastic comments, or smart a.. remarks, about any of my threads or posts. Save those for the enemy, "gun grabbers and gun haters , and anti-2A politicians. I show respect to all my "brothers " in arms who fight along side me and fight for me, regardless whether in live combat with enemy forces or exchanging gunfire with armed thugs on the streets of our cities.

    My thread was moved from the NEW MEMBERS INTRO to the BREAK ROOM by the MODERATOR. Fine, I respect that, because he or she, is the C/O of that FORUM, and I respect their position and follow orders. But I will not tolerate being disrespected or the brunt of someone's sarcastic comment, just to impress their buddies by demeaning some one, especially someone new to the forum. And I am not at all impressed by the "credits, certifications, affiliations, licenses, permits or shooting experience that members list in their avatars or under your forum name.

    I have many of my own credentials, including two tours of military service, with live fire enemy combatants, and thirty years of inner city law enforcement uniform patrol service, serving seven live fire shoot-outs. None of which I will list under my forum name or avatar. Try shooting at something that shoots back, instead of counting bullet holes on paper targets! No disrespect intended.

    I sincerely hope this is the last, I have to say on this matter, because it is a waste of my time to write it, a waste of the members time to read it, and the waste of the Moderators time to review. If I have offended anyone outside the scope of my target audience, it was not my intention to do so.

    I sincerely hope that I can enjoy being a member of this forum and learning from the other members of the forum. I believe I have much to contribute regarding the subject of guns, and shooting. And I believe that I can learn much from the experiences and findings of other members on this forum.

    I wish you all well, and good health to you and your families. And I pray that we can join together collectively and protect and preserve what is left of our 2A Rights, regardless of which state we live in.

    p.s. think of :ingo: as the cauldron in which you are forged into a being that can then deal with the real world of things like relationships, intercourse (verbal), work environment, booze, and children. What doesn't kill you makes you duck next time. Welcome.......

    There is so much insanity with this guy that it's hard to stand. This sounds like the same type of person that comes into the store angry that we don't have 22 and proceeds to lecture me about those evil flippers and Obama. :rolleyes:

    I feel you, bro. I, for one, have had it up to HERE with all of the sarcasm around here.

    Too bad you're in MD or we could hang out.

    All this anger is coming from somewhere. I get the feeling you've been disrespected somewhere and didn't like it. Who does? It's going to happen. However, as has been stated, if you hang around there are some very knowledgeable folks here both on the gun side and legal side. You'll learn some things, but if you're waiting for someone to say something snarky then sign off you might as well do it now because it will happen. It's going to happen no matter where you go. Just fire back - when it happens - and move on to the next topic.

    So if you want to comment on what I have to say, feel free to do so. If you want to make a sarcastic remark to impress your buddies or show how important you think you are, take your sarcastic remark and stick it where the sun don't shine.

    These are the very types of demeaning sarcastic remarks that quickly discourage new gun owners to avoid becoming involve with so-called pro-gun, pro-2A forums.

    Fortunately, I have experienced this before and I don't run and hide. Bottom line, I will respect you, as long as you respect me!

    Look bhdpal, this is a very large forum. It has all kinds of people here. Many people here have grown to know each other very well. To them, this can be like the corner bar where they go to hang out with their buddies. It is not some organized, everyone gets a chance on the soapbox, one at a time, no interaction type of forum. Some people here are very serious all of the time. Most of us aren't. Just like at the bar, I will call some of the guys I like dickhead and we will laugh about it. We have a few out and out crazy people here. Some of us are never serious, always looking for the joke in everything. This is just a big cross section of 'Merica.

    I'm thinking the return of the mall ninja. To ignore or not to ignore, that is the question.
    And miss all the fun? Shirley, you jest.

    Full disclosure, you have marked a target on your back. If you can't take some sarcasm or snippity snarkity sass, then perhaps the internet isn't going to be a good place for you.

    And while we're on the topic, dammit, you do realize there are SISTERS in arms here too.

    Stick around and take a deep breath. This is a light hearted place once you get to know us. Most have been lifelong shooters/gun owners. We are all very serious about our 2A rights but with all the insanity in this world sometimes a bit of snark lightens the mood. Sarcasm/humor/are abundant here. You have to recognize the difference.
    I used to sport a chip on both shoulders. Got weary of being a target so let them both go. Life is better for it.

    As Expat stated, we have enough time in here that we know what to expect. I have been lucky enough to have met so many members. Some I call friends. Some acquaintances, some I avoid. We will never get along with everyone. Many of us have spent some serious range time together and bonded from that. Many have just shared time over a cup of coffee. Just saying we know a lot of folks in here.
    You being in Maryland will not let you do much FTF with members but you can still experience the comradery that is:ingo:

    Read through a post and you will see what the intentions are.
