Texas Man Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Texas Man here, Live in Windcrest, Texas. Suberb of San Antonio, Texas. Collector of everthing from muzzle loaders to class three arms. Self-Employed in Heavy Equitment earth moving and paving bussiness for 35 years. Married twice, 62 years old, one daughter 32. Raised in ranch country and alone the Mexian Border. Wife and I both have consealed carry permits. Both carry Kimber 45s. Enjoy shooting the old cowboy guns, reload my own on Dillon 650. Over the years, I have traded guns with common people, peace officers, Texas Rangers and Mexican gun runners. I played some rough games growing up and into the not so distance past. I carry scares on my body from three knifings and three gun fights where they got lucky and drew my blood. I have sent more then a few to hell and they definitly had it coming and I have no regrets what so ever about it. My enjoyments are; Sharing the shooting sports with fellow shooters, collecting gun and early Texas history books, having friends I can trust and they can count on me. Doing what I can to help others. My weak spots are: Buying more guns, Women, spelling, not forgiving those that have done me or my friends wrong and having no mercy for worthless bastards. Good Things Today; Having a forum board like this, SASS, and several others where gun people can enjoy sharing their sport with others. Not So Good Today; Bush wanting to give alliens rights as same as U. S. Citizens, Hell the cost of Medical and Schooling and Welfare is killing us. Worst Dislike of all Bill Clinton.

NDLawyer Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Nick: I just couldn't resist, are you serious about the JFK thing? One of my law school professors was special counsel for the house select committee on assasinations which investigated the murders of JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr. I have his book on the subject burried around here somewhere. This probably isn't the proper forum for this message so you or Chris can delete it as you see fit. PM or e-mail me if you want his name and the title of the book.

LPK Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I’m L.P. Kunnen, I was using the messages for research and today I couldn’t get in without registering so I did. This is my first post; it seemed a good place to start. Near fifty years on this planet, growing older, but not up, mostly Irish, married 17 years, in SE Indiana, newfs (2), truck, lawn, barn, keg tap, all the usual afflictions of a man my age. I’m a CAD operator, used to be a Draftsman but get with the technology or be left behind. A high number in the draft led to higher education and then I went to work in a machine tool factory, hmm, life has no guarantee but I digress. I have a few small caliber rifles and I don’t mind saying I am one crappy shot! It gives me rationale to practice. A number of years ago a gentleman I worked with, hearing of my interest in Thompsons invited me fire his, I did and you all know what happened, right thru the cheek, line and sinker! I suspected I was at risk to this addiction most of my life. He then gave me the magazine I’d used saying, “Here, the first piece of your collection, someday it may be worth more than the gun.†Thank you! So now, I’ve one of my own, or close enough for me and the drum fits. I found this site AFTER buying my Kahr T1; model 1927 A-1 Deluxe though (through Davidson’s, they do have a guarantee.) http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif I might have hesitated had I found the board before the sale. (Ah, maybe not). This is a great site and I’m learning a lot. LPK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantpanda4 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Folks, I have been reading these and agree that we are an interesting bunch. Most of the demographics here could be input under your user profile, as I have to mine. It is listed below: Mechanical toys - cars, instruments, and of course - guns. The 1921-28 thompsons are the epitomy of perfection for a mechanical device that fills all my interests! PS - Anyone know how to fit two FBI hardcases in a Ferrari 308? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif at the same time?

Got into Thompsons because my grandfather spent the whole of WWII in tanks but never talked about it much, only found out after he died that he did some pretty amazing things which got me interested in WWII generally. i'd always wondered what one particular gun that British commando's and US troops used a lot and thats how i found my way here...
