Illinois - unfortunately
Hello All! I'm actually from Florida but moved to Illinois for work back in 1998. It's tough living under an oppressive state! I'm a former combat medic and MP. Served in the 82nd Abn Div and 449th MP Company. I also studied Criminal Justice, Fire Science, and Emergency Medicine in college. Thought about a career change once or twice but stuck to my IT gig and make a decent living working in voice and data networking.

I'm not that active on this forum probably because I only have two Smith and Wesson handguns. I came close to purchasing an M&P AR15 but along came the great panic buy of 2012/13 and had to switch gears and buy up a lot of ammo instead:

Model 19-3, I inherited from my step father. It was his police service revolver for a number of decades.

And my recently purchased M&P Shield (9mm).

Welcome from Texas 5nolans. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
 
Welcome from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Hey; 2 S&W's is a good start. You may want to consider making a model 17 or 18 your next acquisition. These are both fine .22 revolvers, and the mod 41 is an outstanding .22 semi-auto. I mention this because the rim fire is a lot less than the center fire ammo, and you get great practice to stay in tune.
