So I have been a member here for some time. I have been reading and learning a great deal from many of the diaries on this site. Generally I am content to read and see the views expressed by others. Today I posted my first reply. After reading a few more diaries I decided I would try to publish one of my own and see how it goes. Many topics I will likely never post on. LGBT issues, political issues, what to do about Iraq. If I posted there I would be preaching to the choir. The one issue that I tend to disagree with on this site is firearms. I have been carrying a firearm in the line of duty since I was 18. I have had a great deal of training with all types of firearms from defensive applications, tactical applications, and law enforcement applications. I am currently a firearms instructor. I never call myself an expert, I let my students and co-workers give me that title. That being said, I feel I have useful information to bring to the table. I am 30 years old and have dedicated most of my adult life to understanding the gun and the law. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and try a different angle, this will work for some, and probably wont work so well for others.
