Well, after getting a call from Fernando around 2100 last night to remind me about the closeing cerimonies I went and screwed the pooch and fell asleep during ER. Had planned to log on and say my Good-Bys. Oh well, old age and all.
The Shooting Sports BB.... where to begin... what to say???
It all started over on the Cops & Law Enforcement BB on Prodigy Classic some time in 92 or 93 when this guy named Dean invites me over to the SSBB, saying it is probably the board I'm looking for. A short time later me and this Dean guy get into an argument over the Galco NSA v Rosen ARG. Its been a friendship ever since.
Then there was this guy Charlie whom knew most everything. Only took me 5 or 6 months to realize who he was.
Then came Gunstocks and meeting other members - John Hunter, Jules, Tim, Jillian and the Gunstocks grew to mulitpule member meets up at Charles' place.
Members concerned about other members during personal problems, environmental disasters, employment difficulties, etc.
Along then way I learned a great deal about firearms, the industry, and made a whole lot of friends. What more can you ask for.
It is good to see that even though the SSBB is now closed a lot of the members have migrated over to AmBack. There was another board that I was on that got turned off and it's Moderators spun up another to take it's place... with no degridation in quality. The same will happen her I believe.
So all in all there is nothing to be sad about. All we've done is move from one house to another down Information Hwy which is just off of he Disinformation Cowpath.
I wouldn't want to let Schmitt anywhere near my gas-grill
Now Ed, you shouldn't have any concerns about me being around a gas-grill. Gas-Grills are static... where the problem come in is with Flamable items (wood, charcoal, etc) that need an external ingnition source (charcoal fluid, gas, Black or Smokeless Powder, LOX, Etc). That is when the fun (or as others view it... trouble) starts. :twisted:
And RAJ, you know it is not a Sniper Rifle unless a certified Sniper is behind the trigger... but then a Henry Mini-Bolt would be such if a Sniper was shooting it wouldn't it?
