How Many Have Met a GB Member?

edited November 2007 in General Discussion
I have been here since 2003 and feel like I really know a bunch of you pretty good. But in all this time I have actually met only one member and that was RAIDER006, or Ben. (Of course I am not counting the practical joke me and BBG played, we actually never met in person). He came to visit, brought some guns, and we went out to the range and killed a few targets. It was like meeting a friend for the first time.

Ben is a young fellow and hasn't posted here in over a year, but it was a real treat.

I can't believe I haven't met more of your lame brains. I have a long list of folks I would love to meet.

I talked with MATWOR (Matt) and his wife on the phone and enjoyed that very much. I think I even spoke to NUNN once, but I may have just dreamed it.

Missed meeting DHEFF with RAIDER006 and was quite disappointed...

How many of you have met other members? Good experience?

Seems like some folks on here should NEVER should meet, lest the trading of hands commence![:D]

    I have not met any. I went to Locust's store while driving to MS, but she was at the Post Office at the time.

    There are a couple of guys who are from around where I live and I have contemplated doing a range day invite.

    Also, I have a standing invitation to all members that want to come to GA and hunt. I will take them down to my lease and set them in my stand (for deer) or call for them (turkey). No strings attached.

    In another forum, they have yearly get togethers. They meet at a state park for camping and boating. You could, if allowed by GB, see if anyone in your area would like to meet at a central shooting range or such.

    I had the opportunity to meet with Doug Wilson and ZipperZap at the Spruce Goose Museum. Both real gentlemen and interesting to chat with.

    Its fun to put a face with the screen name and to learn more about the person you visit with behind the keyboard. Most of us are drawn to gun forums by similar interests and have much to share in person.

    If you get a chance spend a few hours with another member as you pass through their location, it will be a rewarding experience.

    I've met Tailgunner, had a chance to have coffee with him and talk guns, shooting and ballistics. More accurately, I asked questions and tried to commit to memory what he explained. That guy is a wealth of knowledge and experience. I look forward to getting together with him more.

    I've met taco, enos, buckeyboy, bang250, and nuguyncrew...that I can think of. I consider each to be very good friends.

    I really need to meet up with gagirl. I feel like I really know her, and her family yet have never met any of them in person.

    Capt. Kirk took me fishing and is an all around good guy. Gunshowed with Wundudnee and Matwor and broke bread too, two finer fellows do not exist. Had lunch with Boomerang, very nice guy. Had lunch with Rugerniner a while back, when he was a Florida boy. Met Bambihunter and Imaclone2 and 5db and Wipala and Texashunter all at the Tulsa show. All were good guys I would be happy to meet again, and a few have become real friends.

    I have had the pleasure of meeting some members from the forum. Some, more than once. Don't know if that feeling is reciprocated by them, as I tend to be somewhat outspoken at times. [:D]

    I found all (so far) to be an enjoyable experience, and look forward to meeting others.

    There is a gun show this weekend. [;)]

    Three, and I've talked to several more via phone. And carried on email with a few others.

    Lots of us love guns and shooting, but having lunch with a couple of diehard CCW adherents
    brings new meaning to the idea of taking personal responsibility for one's safety.

    I've met 2, NUNN and somebody else at the gun show in Orlando, but I can't remember his name. I would like to meet more if they are coming to the Orlando area. I have put out a open inventation in the past that if anybody wanted to go to Disney world and I was around that I would get you in for free, but not many have taken me up on it.

    I've met in excess of 20 GBer's. I've gone north to PA and met those from the South as they come north and I've stopped and visited with members from Ohio, Ind., Kansas and Arizona on my trips out west to hunt.
    Never been disappointed with the quality or character of ANY sportsman I've met throught this or any other board I frequent. Great people ALL!
