First, I would like to thank safetyfirst for being so Awesome! He met with me immediately after I first contacted him. He gave me a great deal and was very thorough on gun safety and the legalities involved with purchasing a firearm. plus... He's a man of God and Country!!!!! Me too!!! Secondly.. I've been reading some of the threads on here and It appears more like a "family," than anything. i could use a good brother ( I lost mine in 2006.) I'm not usually this chatty and I may never post again, but I have to say that until yesterday I had never heard of Gulf Coast Gun Forum, I'm so glad I did.... I won't go into my background but i will say that i have extensive training in firearm tactics and self defense so please feel free to ask for any advise. BTW... What does 22lr mean by my name?
