hello from gtown KY
Hi All!

really happy to finally sign on here, wanna blab a bit about why i have:

i've been reading online about various gun topics both in terms of the hardware itself but also in terms of the useage of such for personal safety as well as the general human-rights concern that we be allowed to own and carry.

and in my years of reading on those topics online, a small few number of gun forums keep popping up in my searches with a lot of helpful info, and good fair discussion.

this site has always been one of those. i've read countless pieces of good info and discussion on this very site so always knew i wanted to sign up here eventually whenever i got around to signing up *somewhere*.

so i wanted to say thank you to everyone here, you have a great forum and i've been reading here for several years now.


the boring stuff about me:
live in Georgetown KY.
owned a gun 1987.
got my ccdw in 2000.
i'm not as into the guns themselves as some, i'm not the kind of person who will be reloadng or customizing my own gun; my main concerns are personal safety from criminals, and 2ndly from possible government oppression such as witnessed in the wake of Hurrican Katrina.

but as far as the fun aspect of guns are concerned - i've basically been playing "army man" since i was a kid and my whole life and have an affection for anything olive drab. if it's green, i probably like it.

i hadn't yet owned an XD but just recently online purchased one and will pick it up this weekend: an XDM .45 4.5" barrel, nightsights. also plan to buy an XDM 9mm 3.8" soon.

see ya around the forum!

Nice! Welcome from Lexington, KY.

Also if you buy from Bud's down here in Lexington, you get some free range time and a free handgun training course, just FYI.

If you're ever interested in any practical shooting competitions like USPSA or IDPA, shoot me a PM and I'll let you know what goes on around here or how to start getting into it. There's a large practical shooting community around the Lexington area. And if you're interested in self defense, these game won't teach you how to defend yourself, but they'll give you the trigger time to improve and work the skills that you might need in those situations. (Shooting from cover, moving while shooting, reloading while moving, etc etc.)

Anyway, welcome to XDTalk

Welcome from MI. We lived in Gtown in the early 90's. My wife worked at the Toyota plant while I worked on a degree from U.K. Nice place to live.
