Nobody has mentioned the NRA. I'm a Lfe Member. I like revolvers, 1911s, Glocks, and shotguns. My only rifle right now is an M48A Mauser. My first handgun, back in the early 1990s was a 1970s Colt SAA, my second was a Sig P220. I like .45s. Online, I posted in rec.guns at Usenet. I was a SASS member for a while back then and had all the clothes and leather goods, and I camped in a canvas pyramid tent with a Lodge Pole Pine center pole. I reloaded.45 Colt for the SAA and my Marlin lever action. Last year, I got nostalgic and bought an old Savage Fox side-by-side at Cabelas. It's a heavy gun. I like it. As a kid, I went pheasant hunting with Dad carrying a Sears 12 gauge pump. I also had then a Remington .22 bolt action with a detachable magazine. Those two are sadly long gone. I sold them at age 18 when I thought I'd never want them. I'm surprised at the number of gun owners here. I'm happy to see it.
