Been lurking (and enjoying the exchanges) for about 5 years from work. Retired now and have plunged into the 21st century and gotten onto the net from the homestead. I'm conservative -- some say ultra conservative -- but I stop short of being a Libertarian (sometimes we just have to be practical). Strong 2nd Amendment supporter and shooting enthusiast, really enjoy the FR support on this vital issue. Happy to be 'aboard', I'll probably make a few mistakes (can't type too well) and probably ruffle a few feathers (I'm told I can be a little headstrong) but I think I can take the flames!!! Thanks for a great site. RyeWhiskeyJoe
