Nov 2012

It's my hobby. I also enjoy target shooting handguns and I have a concealed weapons permit. Obviously articles about firearms and their use for self defense hold more interest for me than for most people. While I am aging, I still have a decent memory.

Many people have a considerable interest in actors or actresses and their adventures. While I enjoy watching a skilled performer in an interesting movie, I have absolutely no curiosity in who they currently date or their off screen antics and adventures. People differ and that's what makes us interesting.

Couple my interest in the subject of the legitimate use of weapons for self defense and modern technology and it took me less than 10 seconds to find the story courtesy of Google.
