Very similar to me except for folks eliminated in Viet Nam. Not that I wanted to or felt any pride in doing it but it was simple....Them or me.
I'm retired, have weapons in the house but don't hunt. Anything I want to eat is sold in a store and is renewable.
My family is familiar with my weapons and I tell my wife if she fires the pistol, stop at 6, check the intruder and if he or she is moving, you've got 3 more bullets left.

Hey Sarge,
Thanks for your service to our country.
In Ill-annoy we need a FOID (Firearm Owners Identification) Card to buy and own a firearm. You may not even touch a firearm in a gun shop. I'm waiting for my wife to get hers from the IL State Police, then we will go shopping. I own a Hi-Point .45, it is ugly and heavy. Too heavy for her. I've taken it to the range, it is accurate and have not had any jams. It cost me $180.00 with hard shell case at our local dealer. I'm thinking a smaller 9mm for Inger, but I want her to handle the pistol for fit and comfort. I saw this pistol on Buds http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/411552788/CANIK+STINGRAY+9MM+BLACK+FINISH+15%2B1 and I like the video presentation.
Also I've been thinking on getting a Hi-point .45 carbine http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/carbines/carbines_45caliber.html
I'm heading to Bullet Stop Gun shop this week-end and see what they have.

OK Hedgehogs,
Before you click on the link you must be warned.
1. This is 9:30 minutes long...time you will never recover.
I was bored last winter and decided to make a video with my grandsons paper jam guitar as a prop and a traveler size of shampoo as a harmonica prop. The music is from Grand Funk Railroad "Inside Lookin' Out" or "Feeling Alright"

Good Day Fellow Hedgehogs,
I was an accident baby, Dad and Mom were in their '40s when I was born. Dad liked to hunt but when I got to be around 5 years old he stopped. He had shotgun, 30-06, .22 rifles. I never shot any of these firearms, but Dad let me handle them when I was in my early teens. Damn heavy.
I grew up as a child in the '60s. Born 1957. My Dad and I would watch war movies and war tv. shows together. For Christmas and birthdays I would get firearm toys. Johnny 7 O.M.A. (One Man Army) Monkey gun, James Bond attache case which held a knife and would shoot a bullet at a unsuspecting spy, and many other things of this nature. As I got into my teens I got a couple of BB rifles.
When I got married and raised my 2 kids I did not have any firearms, BB guns in my ownership. Nor did we have toys that were firearm related. Not by conscience choice, just didn't have any. My kids were into sports, soccer, and they were on traveling teams which with team practice and home practice, playing with their friends and games we did not have time to do much more than that. Both kids went into the military in 1999 and in basic training my Son received the Basic Training Ribbon, Honor Grad Ribbon and Marksmanship Ribbon (highest score in his flight). He was asked if he would be interested in going to Special Forces, he declined stating he had no interest in killing anyone. He was also asked "What if someone was trying to kill you" he answered "I do not want to be put in that situation." Jason and Sofie served 10 years and now as private citizens they both have firearms. Out of our family I was the first to buy a firearm for the sole idea of self defense in the home. As Jason became a private home-owner he realized how vulnerable he and his family were and bought some firearms. Sofie followed suit.
I understand how parents can influence their children when being raised. I grew up around gun toys and played with neighborhood kids with these toys, but as a young family man I did not pursue having a firearm, until 3 years ago. My Son and Daughter never saw a firearm in our home or even see a toy that looked like a firearm but as they have young families of their own they have firearms in their homes. Their world as young adults is far different than my world was as a young adult.
When my kids were in the service we all bought ps3 game stations and played 'Modern Warfare" on-line together. Much fun. I played with my grandsons also. Sofie in Arizona, Jason in Colorado. Sofie is back in Rockton and her son loves firearms, loves the military channel etc. I bought him a BB gun and he is an accurate shooter. He also has many nerf toy guns and a few airsoft handguns and rifles. With his father he has shot 9mm pistols and different rifles. Elias will grow up with the idea that firearms are a right and normal thing to have. Did I help perpetuate this idea? Yes. I believe the younger you train someone with proper handling of an unloaded and loaded firearm the more responsible this person will be. This is not the only child in the U.S. to go through this procedure.
Banning firearms will be next to impossible with adults like me teaching our children (my case my grandchildren) the owning, caring and responsibility of safe handling of all firearms (even toy guns) is a right that should be taken seriously.
As a note I have never killed an animal, went on a couple of hunting trips with a neighbor and his Dad when I was a young teen. They were hunting rabbits. I personally do not want to kill an animal for sport nor for food. I probably should learn how to dress one and how to prepare it for consumption just in case if I ever have to in the future. I have a few friends and co-workers who hunt which they have the meat processed and in turn I have eaten.
I've bored you long enough.
Have a Happy New Year.

Good looking pix
After looking at the tree I was checking out the door trim, part of the hearth, the floor / etc. My wife and I love older homes, our home was built in the late 1800's but due to many remodeling jobs from previous owners our home does not have the charm of an old home though we have created a nice family room that we enjoy.
This is the only picture I have on my laptop it shows my 2 grandkids but you can kinda see some of our family room.

Wonderful shot for a 3.3Mpx camera. This is yet again another piece of evidence that it is NOT all camera, but camera and photographer, that creates the picture. You did good.
Thanks Cajon,
I had been on the general chit-chat pages commenting and reading on the gun issues and I had a thought "Hey Dummy...you are on a photography forum...stick with what this forum is about." So I took awhile to find this picture as it is buried deep in the hard drive. I may look at chit-chat once in awhile but I am here to view other photos and to share mine once in awhile (If I have anything worth sharing)
Merry Christmas

As I sat down, kicked my feet up I started reading the Beloit newspaper.
This ad jumped out at me.
Guess I will start buying my gas there.

When my 2 kids were on leave we rented a cabin in my favorite State Park called Wisconsin. This was June 20, 2006. Camera was the Olympus 3000z / 3.3 mp
This was our only camera and we used it for snap-shots. As I was walking back to our cabin I spotted my boy doing some fishing. Snapped this. I wanted to go on the boat to take the picture but didn't want to trespass. This Christmas I bought my wife the Nikon 3100 with one kit lens and one additional lens 55 to 300. After the holidays Inger and I will goof with this new camera, shoot allot of nothing pictures hopefully a good one will show up once in awhile.
