hello.Morning everyone I just signed up on this forum about 20 minutes ago and thought i would introduce myself im a straight (please dont shoot ;D)34 year old large L Libertarian male.
I spend the bulk of my time on the internet at auctionarms.com,games.com,lp.org,marijuana.com,jpfo.org,and freerepublic.com. I found out about this board after posting a story on the houston pink pistols club on freerepublic.com earlier this morning.One of the posters to that story linked to this site and after reading a couple of posts figured I would join.
A couple of other facts about myself.I got interested in guns from birth my family on my dads side have been hunters going back 110 years so there were guns in my house from birth but i never paid to much attention to them. Every once in a while I would go to a friends of my dads that owned a rifle range and one of each gun ever made since the 12th century.(That is only a very very mild exaguration)But i didnt get interested in guns or gun rights until october of 1990 when I had to shoot a burgler that was breaking into my house to kill me to get me to not testify against him in another criminial matter that happened a week before. thats when I was not only exposed to how absolutly pathetic the "justice "system is but I was exposed to the most corrupt gun grabbing sleepers the democrats and county das office had to offer. I was told point blank by the AdA that when this guy was coming after me in my own home with a knife that I should have shot out my double paned picture window and jumped through that and run away to the nearest phone and called the cops. I had no right whatsoever to shoot him and since i had to shoot him twice. (all i has was a.22that had no knockdown power ) That proved in his mind I was looking to kill him so he charged me with murder. after 15 000 dollars in legal expences and one and a half years in jails and prisons i was let go and have hated democrats and gun grabbers ever since.
After that whole fiasco i was quite active in republican politics until 1998 when the republicans proved to be as sleeperish and ineffective as the democrats(has any of the contract with america been fullfilled yet? )so i said screw the 2 party system and signed up to the LiBErtarian parrty and have been voting straight libertarian ticket ever since with a clean consience.I no longer have the icky feeling of voting for the lesser of two evils plus i dont have that schizophrenic feeling that comes from knowing that over half of my agenda will be directly opposed by who ever I vote for.Thats what I love about the libertarians they take the best of both partys and combine them into one political philosphy .
Thats about all i have to say for now but I look forward to posting many more messages on these boards in the futer.If any of you have any questions at all for the newbie feel free to ask :-)
