New guy on the eastside
New guy to the group and new to firearms in general. I've been carrying a firearm concealed for about a year and go shooting from time to time but still am very novice to a lot of gun information, ect. Funny to think about it now but I used to be pretty anti gun and "liberal" thinking. My how things chance when you grow up a little (turning 30 soon). I'm still liberal in some ideas but I have really come to believe in the 2nd amendment and it is concerning that a gun can strike fear in so many people and some push easily for constitutional rights to be taken away. I have talked to some people who have commented on that a gun is just a tool, it's not a means to itself. I really believe in that and see how true that is.
Anyway, getting off topic of this thread. I've never open carried before but I do think it is a valuable tool in educating people on firearms. I hope to meet some you all and talk and learn some more about attitudes and such regarding firearms, open carry and the 2nd amendment.
