My name is Mark, and I came to this forum to learn more about owning weapons in VA, and how to be a responsible owner/user.
I bought my first handgun, a Springfield XD9 last summer, and immediatly became interested in fine weaponry. I have a small manufacturing business where I make custom tractor parts, so a finely engineered pistol just fascinates me. My second pistol is an Iver Johnson Model 57 target 22 that my great aunt owned, and I just bought a Sig P238 today,for carry purposes.
I am an associate pastor (3/4 time) at a local Mennonite church, and the tractor business fills in the gaps. I value human life very highly, and have no desire to hurt another person. But, I do believe in the responsibility to protect my family and the innocent, which is why I chose to own and carry a handgun. I have a concealed carry permit.
I look forward to learning from this forum, as well as contributing what I have to offer.
