I just recently joined this site. I am a lurker on this site, and several other firearm and NFA sites. I will continue to be a lurker, so don't expect a high post count from me.

I'm a life-long firearm enthusiast. I still have the first gun my Dad (may he rest in peace) gave me 41 years ago (NIB S&W Model 41), when I was in grade school. I have a FEW more now. More than a cache or arsenal, but less than an armory. I have an exact count on my Title II stuff, since these have forms I have to keep track of; the Title I stuff, I don't honestly know. I don't have a cracked foundation, so my ammo supply is obviously insufficient.

I pay for my addiction through a scam I call Human Carpentry. Fortunately, most of my patients know I'm a firearm enthusiast ("gun nut" always sounded derogatory to me), since I have a sign in my waiting room that encourages concealed carry. I haven't ever bartered Orthopedic Surgery in exchange for a new firearm (yet), so I guess I'm still in control of my addiction.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity on this forum to sit in the corner quietly, and learn.
