I'm jazzed to be joining this community for the relentless banter, the vast wealth of insight, at least a little bit of trash talk, and perhaps the odd classified herein. I've been lurking these forums for a little while, but now I am obligated to contribute for the purpose of accessing the EE.
To be wholeheartedly honest; I enjoy shooting and marksmanship far more then I enjoy gun politics and the never-ending pursuit of buying more ####. Alas, the man has got us by the balls and I've gotta keep the boomstick babies fed with a healthy, balanced diet of copper-jacketed lead. I have shamelessly come out of the closet as a shooter, and I've been trying to share my enjoyment of firearms with as many friends as possible! (And it turns out that shooting also makes a great date activity.) Most people are converted to the darkside after unloading their first magazine downrange.
Additionally, I enjoy reloading (AKA "bullet packing") and at the moment I reload for 3 of my centerfire rifles on a single stage press. I am also proud to call myself a hunter, but not a good one by any means so it's a good thing I don't have to rely on hunting for survival or else I would not have lasted long enough to write this post.
Cheers!
