I'm not a member here so I can't see Guestbook names or other messages. I run an organization called The Firearms Coalition in Manassas, Virginia and write for a couple of gun publications. I'm very easy to find on the internet so please get in touch. After HS I went into the Army - Signal Intelligence in Berlin - for 3 1/2 years then did a year as the Tech Director of the Army Community Theater in Augsburg, Germany.
