Don't vote for stupid-ass gun laws up here. Sorry if that comes off as rude, its not meant to be.

- "Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot
"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker
A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell
"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...
For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Are you a gun owner? What are your gun-related plans now that you're here? I am a gun owner. I'm fairly new to firearms however. I bought my first firearm (Sig P229 EE) about 1.5 years ago in Cali. I sold it before moving up however. I wanted a non-CA compliant version so I just purchased a P229 Legion a few days ago at The Marksman. I have to wait 17 days though since I'm a new resident. It gave me the perfect excuse with the wife to trade up. Got nearly full retail back on the CA 229 sale so it wasn't much to trade up. Must be a shortage of Sig's down in California. Lucky timing I guess. Anyway, looking forward to hanging out, learn and perhaps meet some new friends here.
