gun nut enthusisast. I have a couple of Ar's, AK's,HK 91, some bolt action rifles and a few handguns. I have no time but when I do, I go and shoot. I am interested in building my own AK from a parts kit. I am glad to see this is an active forum.

mack here:
NW burbs, 50yrs old, had guns on and off most my life. Reloader, FFL03 licensee, shoot handguns mostly, never even had a rifle till '03.
Built my first AR15....
Been kicking around building an AR but with the upcoming (September 8th, 2005 crook county board meeting regarding a county wide AWB...I'm sitting tight to see what happens. I'll be damned if I give up my freshly built AR to the jack booted thugs who are bound to bang on my door in the middle of the night to confiscate my newly built AR...along with all my other guns....It ain't gonna happen....I'm thinkin it would put me on the verge of an Unintentional Consequences thing......
Been in the puter biz for near 25 yrs, have 4 kids 18, 16, 5 and 3.
shoot at either GAT or Gun World, but would much rather shoot outdoors, not an easy thing in this god forsaken county/state....up north anyways...

Shaun - 20
Rockford


Used to own a small business, but shut down so back in college now.

Much interest in guns the past few years. Training courses, lifetime NRA member, member of local pistol club (Pine Tree), have some pistols, working on getting some rifles ($$)

Recently started an Illinois 2nd Amendment organization called ICarry.org. Working to see CCW happen in our state. Requesting any and all help from Illinois residents. Everything is free, we don't charge for membership or take donations, sell stuff, etc. We're a community dedicated to seeing the restoration of the 2nd Amendment to include a concealed carry provision! Join the fight Illinoians!

Other than that, maybe if I start working more and saving money I'll be able to build one of those beautiful ARs I keep seeing everywhere on this forum!
