I became interested in firearms when I entered the police academy in the 90s. I changed careers, but my interest in firearms remained.
These days, I am a #2a advocate, a proponent of self-defense and love target shooting, attending firearms training classes, competition and collecting.
In my spare time, I "hoard" as part of my doomsday prepping hobby.
"... many men who are not cowards are simply unprepared for acts of human savagery... When they look right into the face of depravity and violence they are astonished and confounded. --Jeff Cooper
