Well, howdy, My name is Bill, I've been involved with guns since the late 50's... I'm a little long in the tooth but still spry enough to carry and shoot and enjoy talking about guns and shooting sports in general. I am a retired trucker with almost 30 years behind the wheel. Drove for Overnite Transportation and UPS Freight for most of that time and retired in 2007. I am also a former Marine in which I served in the early 60's. I have traveled quite a bit in the US, been to about every state and a few cross the border trips. I own and operate a licensed Virginia Bail Bonds company; FREE STATE BAIL BONDS located in Kenbridge, Va. Been in business with that since 1999. I have a CCW permit for Lunenburg county and another with DCJS which is a working CCW permit. I travel throughout Virginia in this business but mostly stick pretty close to south-side Virginia. I own two Harleys and ride often (when it is warm). I enjoy computers and work often in my office doing research and reading. I own a fair arsenal of weapons and so a fair amount of shooting with my handguns. I have several favorites but the ones I named in my profile are the main ones I use... I carry a Taurus PT-145 compact in .45, also occasionally an SP101 Ruger .357 and also a XD-subcompact .40. I look forward to reading and commenting on most anything related to guns and shooting. I always have an opinion and I try to be factual when posting. I have a tendency to inject humor (which is debatable) in much of what I write. I am a member on several other related sites which I will not go into at this time. Again, I look forward to reading and posting. Thanks for having me.

Thanks for all the welcomes, I will try and be factual and not chew on anyone to much... and I will try very hard not to tell too many off color jokes or crazy stories... it will be difficult, but I will "endeavor to persevere"...

I know your talking about Hilton Head!!

August 1961, plt. 258; 2nd. Bat... C Co.... then to Geiger and Lejeune... 10th. Artillery... nothing heroic, just did my time and out. It is one thing in my life that I am proud to say, I managed to do without F---- it up. and trust me... I have f---- up a lot... although I never went to jail (probably because I never got caught). I managed to correct the defects around age 50... now I am almost perfect.... Semper Fi to you also.

I think I weighed every bit of 175lbs.... I have about 125 on that now!!!!

Sorry, got carried away... I won't mention all this again... take care.
