Hi Everybody,
I look forward to being on this site.
About me: I guess I'm now an older guy these days. I was in the Navy during and post Vietnam, but not in country. I was an electronics and crypto guy principally stationed on the West coast in San Diego on the USS Chicago, CG-11, 7th Fleet Flag.
After that I lived and worked in upstate NY. I'm originally from Kentucky if that matters. I'm divorced with two grown kids that I raised. Took care of both of my parents until they died in their mid 90's. After I got rid of the old ball and chain, I was free to do what I wanted, and I got back into owning firearms. I have a mild collection of revolvers (mostly stainless), and some semi's and various long guns. I'm SE of Charlotte in Indian Trail where I moved for work reasons last year.
I'm enjoying it here a lot, and so far the heat does not bother me. It is definitely a pleasure to be in a gun friendly state, -especially compared to NY. I still have my NY CCW, and I now have my NC CHP, although getting it here was very easy compared to NY state, where they normally take up to two years in my old county.
Look forward to spending some time on this forum, and getting to know some of you. If anyone has some good suggestions on where to shoot, I'm all ears. Also, want to learn more about "sporting clays", - something we did not have in NY before I left.
