Greetings
Hello everyone,
Just got an invite from a couple of buddies on another forum, so I'm a newbie on here. For those of you who don't know me, I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer, having served 28 years with the same agency and having obtained the lonely rank of "Chief of Police". In addition to my LE career, I served as an Officer in the USCG & USCGA. I also did a few years with DHS (post retirement) when I decided to give it all up and enjoy my retirement.
My son & I live in the (not so friendly) gun State of New Jersey in a rural area known as the "Pine Barrens", which is a protected area of over a million + acres of forest & wilderness. Firearms of course & especially S&W Gen pistols are a hobby of mine & I try and shoot at least once every week. I consider myself very fortunate in that I'm one of the few who can carry in this not so friendly gun state. It's next to impossible to get a carry permit in this state, unless you're a Cop or know someone in high places! My saving grace of course is being a Cop!
Having said all that, thanks for having me & I'm glad to be aboard!
