Default Greetings from the Peanut Gallery

Greetings from NE Florida. First, it is a privilege to be here. Second, holy smokes I am once again the last guy to know anything!

I have been looking at your wonderful forum for over a week. I was very active on another gun site that has now run a muck. Clearly my favorites from that site have moved here...they just took their long sweet time telling me! Wonder if that means anything? Naw?

About me:

I have strong convictions. I love and serve my Great God, Country, my family and my community. I support Israel. I grew up in a neutral family where there were no Jews, Christians, Blacks, Whites, etc. We were taught to judge by who people were, not what they were. It was not until 9/11 that I even knew what a muslim was...I won't go on about that because it is not nice.

I want to work! I want to support my family. I want to give to my church and give to my community. I support the family as defined.

I DO NOT want a handout and feel whole races of people have been cursed by government handouts. God designed men for the hunt...we are meant to work, struggle, solve problems. I want the government to get out of our lives and out of our way.

I support and acknowledge the Constitution as written. I believe we STILL live in the greatest Country in the world. I believe our Government was formed on Judeo Christian principles and values. That our government was designed for the moral and the religious; that it will work for no other.

Thank for for allowing me to be part of your fine forum.

Franklin

Franklin is one of the best people I've met. He stood beside my wife and I at a gun class last year, helping her out several times since she's a newer shooter and he has a heart of gold.
