I am in my late 30's and my interests are: Cinema Espresso Firearms

I'm an avid firearms enthusiast and currently own 12 guns; six semi-auto pistols, two 12 gauge shotguns, three semi-auto rifles including two of the ar15 "platform" variety fitted with sound suppressors, and a carbine from the late 19th century.

I was trained in tactical pistol shooting and general marksmanship by a Federal Firearms Instructor and National Police Shooting Champion. In addition I have had a concealed carry gun permit for 7 years and carry a gun with me nearly everywhere I go. In my experience 8 out of 10 self identifying "gun guys (or gals)" are terrible shots who confuse experience with technique and practice. Though I would describe myself as being in the middle of the pack among serious amateur competitors I'm definitely in the upper 90th percentile in terms of the "average" shooter.

I enjoy shooting so much I belong to three different clubs and go at least three times a week: Astate of the art indoor range just 2 miles from my home and work. A "rustic" outdoor range 20 miles away that allows any gun, including machine guns, with the only restriction being no .50 BMG. Finally a club 50 miles away that hosts two beautiful world class Sporting Clays courses. Sporting Clays being my current passion.
