Hi Everyone,

Older new member here. Retired electrical engineer, Navy Submarine vet, qualified on a diesel boat in 1960.

If you're looking for an example of the stories about how senior citizens are arming themselves I'm your man. I'm a long time owner of a Western Field .22 rifle and a Remington 870 Express 12 ga but I recently got the pistol shooting bug (thanks Obama) and now own a Springfield XD9 subcompact and a Beretta M9. I live in the Lehigh Valley PA which is a blessing for shooters because there are a plethora of rod and gun clubs here. Mine is 3/4 of a mile down the road and for 20 bucks a year I can shoot almost every day. I have a Dillon RL550B press set up for 9mm so ammo is not a problem.

I'm looking forward to making my shooting experience better and safer thanks to the information provided here by you long time gunners.
