    41 originally from Indianapolis, grew up in Lebanon IN and currently living in Danville. I'm married with a 10 year old daughter. My official job title is Air Transportation Systems Specialist.

    I've always been interested in shooting and guns. I've recently gotten more into this hobby again after spending the last 18 years or so drag racing. Sold the race car so now I've got some more time/money for other hobbies. I still tinker with cars and go to an occasional cruise/ car show. Getting into guns and shooting again has been fun...I really need to find cheaper hobbies lol

    Just recently turned 50. I worked 16 years in various computer support positions (helpdesk, desktop, network, telecom support), but moved to Information Security 5 years ago. Now I work for IU Health doing vendor risk management. I find Information Security very interesting and most days I love my job.

    I spent 13 years in MN for my first marriage and have a 21 year old stepson from that relationship. I'm now on my second marriage and have been back in Indy since '11. I used to be into computer hardware and gaming, but for the last couple of years I've had less and less interest. The only interests I have outside of firearms now is hiking. The wife and I go hiking when we can, when the weather is nice.

    I'm originally from the deep, dark hills of southwestern Indiana but now as Don Williams sang, "I live in the city but don't fit in". I'm a biologist by education and work in the conservation/environmental field. Married, no kids yet, with one Dudley Lab. Hunting is my primary passion with shooting being a close second. I also enjoy fishing, reading, gardening and board games.

    I call myself a classy redneck, not a white trash redneck. I like hunting, fishing, big trucks, fast cars, and the outdoors. But I do bathe every day, and I dont wear wife-beater shirts. Thats what sets me apart.

    under your bed!!!
    40 years old. Married with 4 kids between us, all boys. Born in El Paso, TX and lived my first 25 years back and forth between there and Las Cruces, NM. Spent most of my adult life in the transportation field. I have been a big truck mechanic, driver and now run the operations and maintenance for a mid sized trucking company. I spent about 2 years as an environmental tech cleaning up contaminated soil when I thought I wanted out of trucking but ended up right back in it.

    What I enjoy doing besides firearm related is working on restoring my old pickup (a 1972 Chevy C20). I used to race RC cars but kind of faded away from that.

    I’ve been around just shy of 68 years. I was born and raised in Floyd County Indiana and still live there. I grew up on a farm and spent much time in the tobacco patch or hay field with my best friend, I called him Dad. We worked hard thru the week so we could spend Saturday hunting or fishing together. I’m still married to the same young lady I dated in high school and we have two boys. I have a business degree from Georgetown College and I’ve worked in the Ag industry my whole life. I’m still working. I love to bowhunt and I’ve scraped bows out of Hedgeapple and used them to hunt deer and turkey. I do a little gun hunting for deer and enjoy shooting at the gun range. I like to fish and I fish with my sons when we can. I ride a bicycle every morning and a Harley called “Big Blue” when I can. I don’t think I’m a redneck, but I’m very proud to say that I am a “Country Boy”.

    32, immigrant from Illinois, before that but too young to tell the difference, Ohio and Wisconsin. Currently work for Cummins in the tech center with the biggest console of computer screens. Kind of the office hey-do-this/jack-of-all-trades/excel programming/complaints department guy (hey, I need a report on how many widjets bill made for larry on machine 5 from mid-january to march 3 years ago). Before that I ran a test engine on a dyno. before that I worked on cars and worked in a parts store while going to school to work on cars. before that I worked in and almost got a degree for Tech theatre, primarily working on set construction and rigging. Other hobbies include working on (repairs and mods) cars and bikes, and video games. 2 kids, one with psycho ex, one with current (and very tolerant ;)) wife. Pretty much everyone else either of us is genetically related to are Illinoian die-hard leftist anti-gunners. The irony is not lost on me that the guest bedroom also contains the workbench for and cabinet containing reloading stuff as well as the gun safe in the closet. dontfeed
