    I have lived in Michigan for 65 years. Pretty much been stuck around Detroit all my life. I hope to purchase a place with some land, maybe can set up an outdoor range too. I am shooting for a place in Northern Indiana, preferably in or near Amish country.

    My hobbies are Bible, classical music and opera, some non-classical (Johnny Cash is awesome), also like some metal bands (Bloodgood and Stryper). Always been interested in cars and finally in 2018 got my first fun car, a 1992 5.0 Mustang 5-speed shared with my son.

    As for guns, I had a couple of 12 gauge shotguns in the late 1970s but eventually sold them and had no guns for decades until the summer of 2020 when I decided a bit of home protection might not be a bad idea. Since December 2020 I have acquired a lot of guns, mostly handguns but also a 20-gauge shotgun. I was a big revolver fan but also find pistols fascinating, prefering metal frame and hammer fired. I shy away from plastic but my plastic Kel Tec P32 is one of my favorite guns.

    So with my desire to get a place in Indiana that I hope to eventually move permanently to, and my desire for 2A rights, I decided to join this site. Some web searching shows that right now, Indiana is a much better place for gun owners than Michigan. Our AG is definitely not thinking to provide us a Gun Owners' Bill of Rights like yours has.

    I am way too close to Detroit. I have never shot matches or any kind of competition, but have done a lot of range time trying out every new pistol I buy. I would love to set up an outdoor range with the swinging metal targets so I can hear the sound when the bullet hits. Much easier than looking at holes in paper.

    Welcome, glad to have you!

    1) please leave your weather
    2) watch out for Chicagoans
    3) holes in paper is still best for learning. Get large white foam board for a dollar at the dollar store.
