I'd like to know who I'm talking to

[rags]

Sammy here.
Comin' to ya alive and well from the "boosh" of southeastern Ahia.

S&W enthusiast, catfisherman, and fan of most things firearms related but leaning far more toward the older concepts i.e., blued steel and walnut and handloading.

I'm only in my current occupation because I'm too stupid to quit.
Here's a rather sloppy example, performed(?) in Paris a few years back:

Oh **** that's funny! My mom is from WV and is part Cherokee. Just like a lot of them folks up there. It's the Italian wife that has them all confused.

 

[bettis1]

Doggone it, Sam. That's some fine stick work.

I recognized that sound right off...I had a car back in college that had that same beat

[357-RevolverGuy]

Great thread. Wish I could go shooting with all of you guys.

I'm 34, born and raised in North Carolina. My dad first took me shooting at 13. But I didn't start to really love and appreciate guns until I was old enough to buy one of my own (a Ruger 10/22).

A lot of us younger guys mostly prefer the auto's, but I am a revolver guy all the way. In my 20s I bought a S&W model 67, and something about all the steel and metal parts, and smoke coming from the cylinder sides while shooting just did it for me. I appreciate Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Colt revolvers and now own several of my own. Single and double actions, I love them both.

I had worked in security for some years and today have an office job as a graphic designer. Still looking for a pretty wife (who will also like guns) and hopefully have some kids down the road.

 

[captorquewrench]

I'm Laura, an almost 40-ish musician, music teacher, and music minister.

Been married to Eddie for over 20 years, we have 3 daughters--17, 15, and 12. The oldest has signed up to join the USMC and leaves in July. She will turn 18 at Paris Island.

I like handguns. A LOT.

We have cats.

I read, voraciously. I read the ancient philosophers and trashy novels while soaking in the tub.

I prefer dry reds to sweet whites, and I won't say no to a beer. Vodka is good but tequila is liquid pain.

I enjoy cooking. I enjoy it more when it turns out edible.

Fast witted and fast tempered. The wit stays but the temper also cools quickly.

I've had a hard life--I decided not to let it make me a hard person. In this cruel world I find it takes much more strength to be gentle, kind and loving than to be bitter and jaded. Based on that principle, therefore, you can rightly assume that I am one of the strongest person you will ever meet. But do not, and I mean do NOT EVER mess with me or mine.

I hope pineapple shooter sees this and gets my response to bettis1's post. I'm whiter than white and my wife is even whiter being a German girl. The Cherokee is long ago in my genes and I don't claim to have high cheek bones.
