Hello from Nebraska
I'm very glad to be here. I'm one of those who actually reads the terms of use and rules and regulations before joining something (occupational hazard). I was impressed by the depth and detail of this information here. I happen to agree with all of it, however much it makes me feel like a dinosaur. I've always thought it best to proceed with courtesy and expect the same from others. Why all the details? Gun folks are some of the nicest people around. Our modern electronic world just allows people to hide behind their keyboards and pour out contempt and disrespect. It's great that such things are not tolerated here.
I'm retired now, and not really by choice. Let's just say that middle age has not been kind to me. I'm hoping to find the S&W Forum to be a refuge of sanity and reality apart from what is presented as the "real world" of today.
Besides, I finally own a Smith again. I picked up a nice Model 57 recently, and hope to learn all about it.
Thanks to y'all for allowing me to join, and I hope to find ways to contribute here as time goes by.

And a...
And a Hound Dawg Howdy from SC! I, too am not working, due to my health. But I keep busy and happy.
This forum is like college for firearms. Guns are a broad world and I'm constantly learning something. Even on other subjects in the Lounge.

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.
I caught the firearms hobby bug in your state when I visited an old friend whose husband was stationed at Offutt AFB. Her husband showed me his gun collection and then took us Skeet shooting. I was hooked.
