The1930sRust Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Ah, Narcissism! Christopher Anderson here, Eddyville, KY. The far west side of the Bluegrass State. Thirty-five years old; originally hail from Louisville (Looavul), KY. Have worked for the Kentucky State Police as Trooper for nearly ten years. Here's a bear in the woods... http://www.darklightimagery.net/1138.jpg My speciality is fatal collision reconstruction. Been married for nine years to Teresa. And we have Sagan...you all have been introduced to them before but... http://www.darklightimagery.net/thompson/andersongang01.jpg Our son Sagan has recently been "diagnosed" with cerebral palsy, so we are dealing with that. He's very happy though! Thompson are only a very recent passion for me. http://www.darklightimagery.net/thompson/imaposer.jpg I picked up my first Thompson just a few years back (a pals Savage 1928), and 15 rounds through a 30 round stick, I was hooked! My dad, Bob, has long had a passion for guns, and the Thompson has proved no different! http://www.darklightimagery.net/thompson/tongue.jpg Oh, and Teresa only just tolerates the thing.. http://www.darklightimagery.net/thompson/teresaandtommy02.jpg My primordial passion, however, is nature photography, which I've been at for over 20 years. I see beauty in all nature... http://www.darklightimagery.net/Img003052.JPG I also cave. I'll crawl into anything to see where the water goes... http://www.darklightimagery.net/thompson/pstragedr01.JPG Got my head in the stars, too http://www.darklightimagery.net/ngc1977LRGB.jpg We also have two dogs, a Lab and a mixed breed, and an iguana (hey Grey Crow: want a lizard?). I guess that's about it! Really glad to have met all my cyber friends here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Chris very nice photo of the Copperhead! LOL, sorry after many years of reptile collecting, and over 200 species of snakes from the world over, I only work with tortoises at this time. I have owned several Iguanas over the years though. They can be interesting but demanding in not only equipment but space. We down sized our home so Iguanas are a little demanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 John Anderson 46 years young (and you can't make me grow up!!) North of the Twin Cities. Minnesota Postal Worker (hahaha....no jokes, OK??) actually Electronics Tech for the USPS US1928A1 Bridgeport S&W 76 (Maybe a Sten MkII in the works??) Couple Garands, couple FALs, couple carbines, couple AKs, couple preban ARs, couple big gun safes full of a bunch of other stuff.... (see, I have two kids who can't ever split anything up fairly, so to make it easier, I just try and procure two of everything!!) I have a wonderful wife who finances all this stuff, two greak kids (daughter - 15 and son - 13) both great shots and very much into expending copious amounts of ammo!! I make the trek to Knob creek with a few buddies every spring.....maybe someday I'll make the Thompson shoot! I teach Furearm Safety a couple times a year and am on the Board of Directors of my gun club. Very active adult leader in my sons Scout troop and active in both kids schools. We like to travel and have been all over the West and most of the East. too! Hunting is an excuse for us to get out in the wide open spaces and woods, so we hunt everything we can, but not with as much passion as some. Still, we do OK and have a great time. I have been on these boards for a few years now (through three format changes, I believe??) and someday would like to meet a you all. Sooooo I guess I'll have to really try to make the Thompson shoot....maybe next year?? john http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDG Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 My turn to toot my own horn. Chris and I have a little too much in common! I've been a state trooper for over six years and only have 19 more to go until retirement! I am married with one son, an absolute joy that I don't know how I ever lived without. I enjoy U.S. military rifles, primarily from WWII, and have a very small collection which I love to take to the range when I have the time. My longest standing hobbies are a '67 Plymouth Barracuda and a '79 Ford truck that require constant attention but I love to tinker with them. My other passion is my astronomical telescope. I'm no where no the calibre of Chris (his picture is the proof!) but I enjoy guessing as to what is out there. I almost forgot; I own a WH 28 which PK is currently doing a number on. I am grateful for all the info provided on this board, thanks to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDLawyer Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Dave, 33 years old. aka NDLawyer. 1996 graduate of Notre Dame Law School after obtaining a history/poly sci degree at a small libert arts colldge here in Kansas. Over five years as an assistant public defender where I represent indigent persons accused of crimes. I have always had a strong interest in history and firearms. Grew up hunting and shooting although not much time for it now. One wife, no kids, two psychotic Chihuahua mixes rescued from a local animal rescue group. 1 1976 WH 1927A1 that I came across as I was searching for an AR-15. The price was too good to pass up. Still don't have the AR-15 and probably won't until we buy a house. In addition to my Thompson habbit, my other expensive hobbies are: Computers Home theater equipment Softball Golf Music (more collecting now than playing, even gave my drum set to my youngest brother so he wouldn't have to save up to buy one like I did) Cooking Cigars (though I seldom have time to just relax and smoke one) Good Irish Whiskey or, in a pinch, Scotch. Love to travel, just not in the budget. No hope of owning a real Thompson as long as I stay in Kansas. While I do not always agree with our political leadership I have nothing but the utmost respect for any person who has served our county. Thanks to Nick for the board, and Chris for the work as an administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
