Florida transplant living in Greeley.

[JohnnyEgo]

Hello to all!

I moved to scenic Greeley, CO from north Florida a couple months ago. I imagine this is as popular with native Coloradoans as it was for me when the carpetbaggers moved to my state. However, as your newest carpetbagger, I promise not to insist that everything be run here like it was in Florida. (Our gun laws are great, but keep us the hell away from your property taxes.)

Anyways, I am a very non-tactical middle age guy with a great appreciation for firearms and the folks who use them. I'm a proud veteran of the US Navy, and a father of a one year old future shooter. I look forward to making shooting friends on this site, and exploring everything that Colorado has to offer.

Thanks!

JohnnyEgo

Welcome to the high country. You may notice there's less oxygen in the air here (but there's also a lot less water in it, so its a wash). :)

It is taking a while for me to acclimitize, for certain. I can't figure out if it is altitude or allergies, but my sinuses have been killing me for a couple weeks now.

Everything has it's trade-offs:
I've traded high humidity for low oxygen levels;
Alligators for bears and moose(s?);
Pythons and water moccasins for rattle snakes;
Heavy traffic for longer commuting distances;
Little old ladies in large cars for...well, that one is pretty much the same.

All in all, I am excited to be here and hope I won't be going anywhere for quite a while.

Welcome.

I must agree with WBAR. I was just thinking as I was reading your posts "I like this guy".

Sweet looking toy you have there. We'll need to get you out shootin' to make it go "boom" a lot.

Thanks to all of you for the kind welcome!
I'd be glad to go shooting with any of you, at least until I know you a little better.

Welcome, and go pick up the NeilMed nose rinse, use it at least once a day, you'll be better in no time. Especially now that its getting drier again...

Absolutely! I've got a couple of long barrelled ARs I haven't shot in a while. Send me a PM or email.

Also, anyone know where I can get some rifle rated steel plate around here? Looking for something like AR500, either 1/4 or 5/16 thick? Probably a gong type set-up would be best.
