Hello from the southside

[esrice]

Hello everybody, my name is Evan. Like TD12, I came over from IndyCarz with an invite from Mike. I think this site is a great idea.

I've been around firearms all my life, but been serious about firearms for self-defense for the past 6 years. I've mostly been involved with handguns, although recently fallen in love with AR-15s, after my father recently acquired one.

My folks have a wonderful place in Brown County that has its own private range. I would love to get a group together sometime to go down and have some fun. Maybe this Spring.

I also have an interest in the legal aspects of self-defense, especially use-of-force.

Although I currently work in the hospitality industry, it is my dream to be a police officer, then make detective, then maybe even make the jump to the legal side. So my resolution for '08 is to get in shape and hit the testing circuit again (Metro and Columbus PD, so far).

I look forward to some interesting threads here on INGO.

Do you have any pictures of that range Evan? If you get the chance post them in the firearms discussion so we can all drool over them. Thanks for joining

Yes it definately is. But its always more fun to shoot WITH other people.

I feel very fortunate to have it available.

I get down there probably twice a month, but not always to shoot. Its like a free vacation down there. Swimming, fishing, and shooting in the summer. They have 2 ATVs for year-round fun. And free food! (Dad's a great cook)

I get down there whenever I have free time. (plus my folks like seeing the grandchild)

Here are some more pictures to lure you all down there this spring for some fun!

If you are interested I have a CD/DVD about MMA and Modern Army Combatives, it goes into fighting positions and disarming an armed assailant.

It goes through strikes, as well as submissions and I found it very useful when I was going through Ranger School.

Hey I'd love to take a peek at that sometime.

In fact I just got home from an informal "fight class" with my cop buddy and another friend. Cop friend is teaching us some basic ground fighting and submission techniques, mainly just for the pure exercise of it. I'm exhausted.

G'night.
