New guy here.

Hi, I'm a 22 year old college student. I enjoy long walks on the beach, sunsets, and holding ha....wait what?

lol, Anyway I've been lurking this forum for a LONG time. I actually found this place from a link on a gun forum a few months back. I found it refreshing to see a place with fellow gun owning liberals. After some long time lurking, I've decided to join. It will be nice to have a forum to post on where I won't be ostracized for being a democrat. (Just try mentioning that word on Arfcom lol)


Anyway I'm happy to be here.

Oh and yes, as you can tell by my username, I have a Jeep, which I love.

I got myself a new JK last year, too. I still have the first Jeep I bought brand new and it's almost the same age you are! Holy crap, I'm old.

There's a few of us here, but mostly we have to hang out in the bushes and stay clear of the Priuses, etc... We can always play the union-made trump card in extremis.

I love that sign. I'd see that and think "Challenge Accepted"

Reminds me of a pic I took at the top of a mountain my buddy and I climbed. My first off roading trip.

Somebody left this at the top:

The view was good too.

are quite comfortable with the fact that you can actually think and still own guns.

You won't be ostracized here for being a Democrat. But there's some folks here who will think you are worse than Dick Cheney (AKA Lord Vader) if you are a gun rights advocate like I am. My advice is to tread lightly on that issue until we've had time to get to know you better - particularly since members here have the Colorado tragedy fresh on our minds.

You might have noticed the Gungeon being mentioned. That's slang for the Gun Control & RKBA Group, where we discuss gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence.

Welcome aboard!

but they are popular around my neck of the woods, and I can recognize that not everyone who owns one is a right-wing crazy.
