Hi, all. I'm a native Hoosier who believes that an armed populace is important, but doesn't toe either side of the Red/Blue culture war party line. I used to lurk here, but stopped when I started finding the political environment unacceptable. After rejecting the necessity of personal firearm ownership for a few years I've gone through a lot of introspection and concluded that I was wrong. I'm hoping that the claim made in the rules that this is a place for all gun owners to come together is accurate, because whereas I don't agree with many of you politically I could use some gun chat. Recently I've been interested in building an AR and doing unnatural things to a 10/22, but those are both theoretical at this point because "buy once, cry once" is very much my philosophy at this point.
