Oh Noes! I'm turning into a crazy gun nut!


Not gonna lie, folks.


I went to Afghanistan, and came home with a love for firearms. On my 2-week leave, I bought a Mossberg 500 and two AR-15s, one of which I have recently sold.


When I got home for good, I bought an AK-47 and an M1 Garand. And lots and lots of ammo.


I filed my taxes on Tuesday, and in celebration of my rather sizeable return, I went and bought a handgun.


Behold, the Glock 30 SF (Short Frame), chambered for .45 ACP!


User-friendly, tough, and perfectly sized for concealed carry. I think this is probably the most expensive hobby I have ever picked up.


Buy firearms, people. And since I'm all about the gettin' of knowledge, I will now perform the end-post ritual of AWESOME Quotations from AWESOME PEOPLE.

+++AWESOME QUOTE+++
"Loneliness. The American grizzly lives out his life alone. Indomitable, unconquered - but always alone. He has no real allies, only enemies, but none of them as great as he.
The world will never love us. They respect us - they might even grow to fear us. But they will never love us, for we have too much audacity! And, we're a bit blind and reckless at times too.
The American grizzly embodies the spirit of America. He should be our symbol! Not that ridiculous eagle." -Theodore Roosevelt, The Wind and the Lion(1975)
