I have been addicted to DRTV for over a year.
I can’t even remember how it started. I must have been surfing the net one day while intoxicated with the smell of gunpowder and Hoppe’s #9. In any case in a moment of clarity I decided to ‘sign up’.
Then I fell in with others who like me, couldn't control themselves, DDmack, Jaybeth, TomB, Outlaw, and many, many others too numerous to name, but you know who you are.
Then there are the facilitators of this most powerful of addictions, MB, Marshal and Marshal’ette (yes, DRTV uses women to ‘hook’ us in). They make it look so easy! Just one post, “maybe you’ll win a shirt”. Then comes the big lure, guns, guns and more guns! “One more post and this one of a kind beauty could be yours or you can try for our next give-a-way”.
Yes my friends, they actually call them ‘give-a-ways” when they know it will really cost us in ammo and accessories.
I have now posted over 1400 times and still have not kicked the habit. DRTV is an insidious addiction that has no known cure and as far as I know no one is even working on one.
Well, that’s my story, I’m sure many of you have one very similar.
God help us all.

Hi Haz!
My name is Lucas, and Im a gunaholic!
Lord grant me the serenity to accept the guns I cannot have,
And the funds to buy the rest!

I can certainly relate Haz. Not a clue how I got here. It may have started when I first applied for my CCW. I've got a long ways to catch up with you on posts, but I looked at the log and I've spent 1 day, 2 hours and 32 minutes and counting. My wife complains that I'm on the computer too much. My boss at work gives me grief also. It is addicting...But man it's great!!!!! ;D
And ditto on the 3 M's being a great team....

I'm in on the group hug. Like many here, I have an LEO background, and some of my fellow members have had run-ins with the rotten kind I served to replace. While that generates "spirited" differences of opinion in certain areas, we all love and cherish our 2ND Amendment freedoms, as well and in addition to all the rest. I have learned much, shared much and had real goosebumps at the depth of feeling experienced here with y'all. If I need it and can't find it, someone here knows where to go. If I break it, somebody knows how to fix it. Need a training CD? Got it. Music? Yep! Cigars? Yep! Thanks to you all.
Hazcat, as I've said before, I sleep better knowing you prowl the area where my daughter lives and works. See you down there on the range one day.
ps. Don't remember how I got here either, but I bounce around the gun forums for info all the time. As Haz said, DRTV has a very attractive allure, and some great guys as well.. Mac.

Howdy Haz, I too find myself coming here often. It's the first place I check out after I get home from work. I found out about it from the Marshal's other site,CASCity, which is another great gun site if you're interested in the old west & Cowboy Action Shooting. I really don't see a need for a cure for coming here, It's a great place with great people.
-
Well for one Im glad your here Haz, and all you other gun junkies. Im usually a hard core forum guy, as I am a member of several , but this site has the cool videos and great owner moderators and that Bane guy (kidding) . Very nice site, and good sub forums, rock on. Load and lock one hi cap mag. 8)

Haz it was so good to met you here as I said in another post you are a riot . You have lifted my spirits when I had a bad day at work and I truly thank you for it. So let's all got out and have a good ole BBQ is Haz's honer ;D

I used to occasionaly check out gun related forums I ran across, or heard mentioned on Gun Talk or NRA news, none of them really apealed to me, Then one night I heard Tom Gresham interveiwing this guy named Bane, seems like he had a web site similar to "Gun talk tv" with a blog, and a forum, OK, I don't have anything to do , I'll check this out. One of the first threads I read involved this character "Hazcat". Now after over 600 posts in almost 5 days time spent on the site, I have a great source of information thanks to MB's blog and all of you, a blog of my own thanks to the help from Marshal, a whole new assortment of "dirty" jokes thanks to Marshal'ette, and a WHOLE RAFT of new freinds to vent to and laugh with who I never would have met if not for the efforts of the 3 M's. THANK YOU !

I have ALL this talent and intelligence just just mega rolling off me and all the credit I get is " I have new dirty jokes from Marshal'ette".. ??(http://www.rightnation.us/forums/style_emoticons/default/hairpull.gif)
We go anywhere and I hear... "Oh hell. look over there! It's Michael Bane and Marshal Halloway"..
Oh my gosh.. Is that Marshal the Cowboy Guy? Hey Honey..Come here! I want you to get to meet Marshal." (blah blah blahblah)
We were in Vegas ,in the elevator no less, and a couple guys get in and say" My God.. It's Marshal on Down Range!! Hey Marshal**shaking his hand like it was on a well pump** It is such an honor getting to meet you".
(((Ohhh Plluuuseeese... ::) He isn't Elvis for gods sake)))
And if you are with Michael.. Well we can't get anywhere without someone stopping him and wanting to tell him how great he is on Shooting Gallery and Down Range and how excited they are to get to meet him ... yada yada yada. :P
Marshal and Michael get noticed for all the who-rah... and I .... **sniff... lip quivering(http://**http://www.cascity.com/howard/animations/tears.gif) and...and... *hiccup* :'( All I get is

With your unmatched assstance, Marshal and Michael keep me informed on technical and political matters, YOU, however, help me to keep it in perspective, and end an otherwise frustrating day with a laugh. This would not be the same place without your charming presence :-*
Besides, they are GREAT jokes. ;D

Haz, Tom's not alone in the dog house. It has been noticed by a person of great import on my personal well being, that my computer home page is set to Page 1 of the Ruger shirt thread. You know which one I mean. Tried to explain my new fascination with cowboy action shooting..., no joy. So, we are both on probation I guess. At least I stay on the porch, so to speak. This too shall pass.

Hey, I resemble that remark! NYUCK NYUCK!

Hey guys (Mac, Tom, Marshal) I guess with four we should be the Musketeers! (http://www.mazeguy.net/symbolic/sword.gif)
Of course a cetain female (http://www.mazeguy.net/outfitted/blonde.gif) wiil probably think we more closely resemble the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse.
-

Or maybe the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Definitly the Musketeers, I never heard that ANY of the "4 Horsemen" was a smart a$$ and it seems we all qualify . Besides, Do you prefer pestilence,war famine and death, or muskets.
No, I'm not starting another darn poll ;D
-
I'll admit it. I'm Curly Mac.
Hey, isn't there a bag limit on how many guys can be in trouble simultaneously?? Ought to be a regulation!!

LOL! Yep, you qualify!

At LEAST a season.

Im banned too, something about cows and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least thats what they tell me at the blood mobile. Oh well. ???

Hello Hazcat, I'm partial to a wonderful vintage of military bore cleaner, it has a bold front flavor of solvent with a slight overtone of an oil. and a clean finish,..
As a recovering Hoppe's addict, I enjoy the bouquet that Bullfrog Lubricant has, with its subtle tones of a lighter aerosol with no CFBC;s.
Thank for the post.
Looking forward to your next one.

Been gone all day long and just now got things put away and sat down to catch up...
