'ello. I've been lurking on and off for awhile and figure it is well past time I introduce myself.
Instead of having a clever user name, "Adam", by shear coincidence I assure you, is my actual name. 40 years old. Married. IT Professional. Sailor. Generally pessimistic about the future of a free America. I moved to Maryland about five years ago (chasing a girl if you can believe it), and bought a house in Baltimore City (Lauraville) two years ago. I don't mind saying that when job and finances permit I will likely be looking to move somewhere far, far away from Baltimore City. The place does not do it for me. I doubt I'll remain in Maryland. As a gun loving libertarian, the political atmosphere is just too frustrating to deal with.
I shoot a S&W 9mm and .22 when I can find the time. I am looking to upgrade the arsenal somewhat if I can ever get my finances fully under control.
Looking for: 12 gauge pump shotgun. Not sure what brand or model; but given the lowlifes who occasionally lurk around my property I'm looking for a good solid "chunk -- chunk" for the intimidation factor.
Looking for: Probably an AR15 of one type or another. Due to my Army days I am very comfortable with this style weapon. And should the SHTF, well, I can't think of a better Get The Hell Out Of Town or Stand My Ground long gun. High capacity, light weight, good accuracy. Plus it is fun to shoot.
Looking for: Lever action 30-30. Nice, portable game rifle. I fired a friends Winchester a few years ago and liked it. Winchester? Browning? Marlin? Not sure yet. I've never been hunting, but am looking forward to giving it a shot (har!).
Looking for: M1 Garand. Just because. Never shot one. Never held one. Still, I can't help but want one. CMP here I come.
Looking for: Sig P229. So far, of the several dozen handguns I've test driven, this is the one that feels best, and shoots best in my hand. Expensive though. Could get a Glock instead, which works well for me. It doesn't turn me on, though. In any case, looking for something with a little more oomph than the 9mm. After I knock off some of the long guns, that is.
Of course, the twelve dollars I have in my savings account needs a little augmenting first.

so it is better to get started right away.
Have fun filling it.
