Title: NEWBIE BoWman
Post by: BoWman II III on March 13, 2015, 11:49:05 AM
Hi-

I'm new here. Ran across one of your threads in a net search for a topic and was so impressed by the post I thought it'd be worth signing up. I saw you have a place for intros but could see no way to post there, so I'm just posting as I can, here. I've owned guns for almost 50 years, so there's not too much I haven't seen but I don't claim 'know-it-all' status. Mas Ayoob is my fave gun guy, but we differ on a few items, primarily Glocks. He loves 'em and I could live without 'em, which I DO. Anyway, other than that, I'm just a regular Joe gun guy/owner.  8)

Welcome to the playground.  I look forward to seeing some of your posts, and then we'll see how much fun we can have.

Bear with us please.  We are a surely but harmless bunch of old farts ... except for Red and M'ette.  We'll let Red speak for herself, and M'ette ... well M'ette ... Just look out for the flying monkeys and you will be fine.

I posted about a coyote attack a friend experienced over in the 'tactical' area, think it was. Anyway, thanks for the welcome. I find it a bit weird  :o that there's no 'like' button for comments. That's all.  :-X

Welcome to the Forum.

As far as a Like Button, the closest we get is posting a +1 to +100, and that is only if you have nothing more to add.

The absence of a + number does not mean someone didn't like/agree with your comment. 

You get a hint that someone doesn't like it when they post a reply telling you exactly where you went wrong  ;D ;D

Take care and enjoy your visits.

3 questions.....

Are you cantankerous?

Are you obstreperous?

Are you a curmudgeon?

A yes to any is good, 2 out of three is top drawer, 3 out of 3 means you'll fit right in.

Oh, yeah,...........gotta love liberty and the constitution......

Welcome BoWman.  Since no one said it I will "You'll be sorry!"  LOL  I think several of the welcomes have been a bit understated so as to not scare you away.  Lots of good info here and lots of fun also.

Now, that's just mean.

Where am I supposed to find like-minded cohorts?

So, Joe gun owner,

Welcome.  Some of the characters, including Fat-bald-guy-with-the-big-words, have already sent there greetings.   The thing is, play fair.   Don't attack anybody personally, just their stupid ideas.   Don't sulk if you don't understand or get your feelings hurt, ask for an explanation.   There are no stupid questions, just bad times to ask them.   You can have a thin skin and wear your feelings on your sleeve, but change your shirt every day.

Ayoob is a good hero to have.   Glocks are utilitarian tools, you won't raise the ire of too many on here by not liking them.   We all have our favorites, but understand one-size-does-NOT-fit-all.


Alf

The official revolver guy, who also shoots Glocks and M&Ps.
