OK, so I got the town's name (edit: Mod made me take it down) from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, and my forum handle comes from a 1973 Plymouth Road Runner clone I used to own (not a true Road Runer, but a "Road Runner Lite", and it was yellow). We actually live in central Elbert County but when anyone asks where we live, I tell 'em Donut Center (as in What a Hole!), simply because we don't want the whole world moving out our way. We like it QUIET, except for the occasional sound of target practice.
Right now, I'm bored and sitting in a hotel room in Japan and found this site while surfing the internet.
I bought my wife a Rock River AR-15 for last week (her Valentine's Day present), but we haven't hardly even handled it yet because the day after we bought it, the time came to head off to Japan. She came with me but has since gone home (lucky her).
With all the talk about new laws restricting certain types of gun ownership (real or imagined, THAT's another topic), I think when I get home I'm going to race right out and buy one for myself, too.
My sum total of experience with this platform was in 1975, while I was in USAF boot camp; we got to spend a couple hours over the span of 2 days on the range with the 22LR conversion. But I haven't shot an AR since (unless you count my wife's SW M&P 15-22).
Lately I've been hooked on shooting and learning all about 1911s but after I return on the 19th, an AR-15 with MY name on it might have to find its way home with me. So I'm looking forward to learning lots about the AR next.
By the way, my wife has more guns than I do. You know what they say about the family that shoots together. . .
