Continuation of an earlier thread, wondering what us "gunslingers" do in the real world!

I'm a Respiratory Therapist by trade & a Hyperbaric Technician working in a Hyperbaric Tank (decompression tank) full time. On the side I'm an avid shooter and knife collector & dealer online.

I'm a full-time student in the Fall/Spring and work for an internationally known company during the summer doing computer support and whatever else they need me to do.

Exciting isn't it?! =D

I the manager of a substance abuse clinic. I supervise 7 employees who most would describe as "flaming liberals." Guess what - after three years of sharing my views with them - 5 of the 7 now "understand" where I'm coming from as a gun rights person. They even say they will not vote Democratic in the next election - (I still don't trust them...)

I have been listening to your chatter and it sounds familiar. As you say the Gov. won't let you say, I can guess "from wence you come." and Been there done that.

Retired General, Thoracic, and Vascular Surgeon. Graduated med school 1952, served during WW II and Korean "War". Now certified "OF" with plenty of time to camp, ride my motorcycle, and shoot my guns. Having a little trouble getting enough ammo without long wait now. I've heard there is some hoarding going on for Y2K and I suspect it is true. I ordered 1000 rounds of 308 yesterday that I usually get in a week and was told the price was up 10% and there would be a four to six week delay before my order would be shipped out!
