Hey everybody,
I moved to the area from Texas about 3.5 years ago . I grew up in Boy Scouts and have always enjoyed shooting and being outdoors, Washington is definitely the place for it. I'm hoping to meet some friends and hang out and shoot every now and then. Hard to find friends in general here and even harder to meet people who like guns. I've shot plenty of stuff before but only a few years ago bought my own .22 and then recently got an AR. Currently I'm looking forward to the Appleseed clinic in Redmond in April and doing some clean and shoot events around the region this summer.

"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.

Thanks for the warm welcome ya'll! jdhbulseye wrote: I have been wanting to do this with mine. How do you like them? They're pretty cool. It was a bitch to get the old front sight out of the dovetail joint. I don't have a vice and I wound up buying a set of punches after hammering away with no success, but that was the trick. It's a way better sight picture than the stock one. oldkim wrote: Welcome to WaGuns!

Texan (Fort Worth area) born and raised but came up here for a change of scenery and liked it so I'm stickin around. Wasn't doing too much down there, I went into restaurant work after college but got tired of it and I'm about to go into an apprenticeship to be an electrician up here.
