just wanted to intro myself... my name is gary, and live in the indianapolis area. been lurking here for a while, and thought i would join in. i'm not very experianced at shooting and gun ownership. fortunatly i have good friends to help with questions and training. i could always use more advise from experianced shooters. so please be gentle if my questions seem a bit elementary. my interests are generally defence and preparedness, ar 15, long guns, handguns, and long distance shooting. i appreciate all constructive comments and look forward to learning from everyone. see ya around!!
