Hello, my name is Johnny. I am a gunaholic. I have been sober for 3 weeks now. Taking one day at a time but I recently was eyeing a Ruger 1911. I feel like I am slipping back to my old self. I don't know if I can resist that Ruger. Please help me with the temptation. I am so ashamed. [V]

While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain

Hi, I'm Susie and have meandered the planet following my Army Hubbie around the world. We have four wonderful children and two grandchildren. I hunt, fish, read voraciously, have a FFL and (gasp) work for the federal government.
Currently in a war with small invaders. The battle now stands at Susie = 8 and enemy = 0. Body count going up. Thinking about taking POW's if I can devise a method. Have a large holding cell that would be perfect for them.
I'm Carl, I've been a contract tech for 20 years. For the past few months I've been a packer/mat. handler because thats what there is.
I shoot, reload and shoot again.
