I replyed to a post about the Indy 1500, whether it was worth it or not, and an Administrator or Moderator suggested, I reintroduce myself as I only had 1 post in 12 years. That means I joined this group around 2010. So here goes....Born in the @hithole Marion, Indiana (more credit than it deserves) raised and caused much trouble in Gas City that they were happy I left (the Police anyway). Joined the Army and liked it! First time I had adult supervision in my life. Put 20 years in the Military Police and retired. Retired again from federal employment. Built my first AR and .45 in 1987. Started going to the Indy 1500 when there was only one show a year! Now I think there is 5 a year. One of my favorite motto's is....When I die, don't let me vote Democrat! Another is.....If you can read, thank a teacher, if it's in English, thank a Veteran. I do attend various gun shows but not much out of state. I enjoy reloading, shootin, hunting, and reading gun books and blogs. 1SG USA Ret
