Greetings from the Center City (Lynchburg)
Posted: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:46:55
Just joined just now. I spent far too many years in the People's Republic of Maryland, but I'm now residing in Lynchburg. I have a feeling at least one real-life friend is already on here, though I might be getting confused with this guy being on just about every other forum imaginable. And I'll add that I'm one of those that had a girlfriend (now wife) get me into all things firearm-related.
True story: When I first visited my now-wife's family, her dad was handloading .308 Winchester. I had no idea what was going on. I started thinking about shows like CSI, wondering if this was a way to fool ballistics forensic experts. Suddenly, those jokes about none of her other boyfriends surviving didn't sound so hilarious.
Of course, hindsight being 20/20, it's freaking hilarious now. This is an appropriate way to break the ice, I would hope?

Good story
