Welcome.

As has been mentioned, we're very strict about the whole "commercial posting" thing. Sites like bARF.com take in lots of $$ with advertising, etc. We think that tends to degrade the positive community interaction among our members here. We even prefer to play down the Trading Post as it distracts from the discussion forum side of things. It seems to work well for us as this community is much like an extended family.

Out of curiosity, aside from the prison guard time, where were you on the job? We've got quite a few current and former LEO's here. Seems the best ones appreciate firearms in citizens hands as much as their own.

Yeah but it should read ".............for amusement of site staff"

Considered it, but it seemed too wordy.

I was a small-town cop in Southern Michigan, as well as being a Sheriff's Deputy. I was on the Dive Team, Warrant Team, Meth Team, and Assistant Sniper Team Leader. Our area was hit hard by meth, and I was on call-outs a couple times a week, which made home life pretty stressful. Promised my wife that I would get off the road before we had kids, and we both needed a change of scenery. I was active in Michigan in getting the CCW laws changed several years back. Used to be a 'may-issue' state, but we got it changed. I was also an NRA Firearms Instructor and taught Eddie Eagle in schools when I was a cop.
