No disrespect meant, but putting up a thread like this, certainly does show that you "haven't been on here long...".
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms *shall not be infringed*.
"The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution."
- Thomas Jefferson
"While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny."
- Rev. Nicholas Collin, Fayetteville Gazette (N.C.), October 12, 1789
would the jerk thing be others perception or mine?
old conservative hunters would cover the vast majority.
with a smattering of the below 45 group and 'other' of the others would be used at about 3%.
so we got a new guy trying to give wilco a run for his money
I might have included..."Do you consider yourself..."
* a Deplorable
* OCD
* Old School
* a Curmudgeon
* Hermit
* Mountain man
* Flatlander (City slicker)
or..."Are you..."
* Veteran...
* Army
* Navy
* Coast Guard
* Air Force
* Marine
* Law Enforcement
Heck...with the modern culture we might not be able to ask these things . . .
Good pole...I like to learn more about this loose knit family too.
Oh yeah...forgot to say welcome.

he'd have to have 3 polls running concurrently to even stand a chance at Wilco's crown.
Charlie you forgot BOB.
we got lot's of Bob's round here.
OK....10% are neither male or female!?
So it would appear that LGBT is not well represented here. Hmmmm.
a pole is what you raise and lower the flag on... a poll is what you have here.

"Joined Dates" are deceiving if you factor-in "lurk" dates.

What about semi-retired?

All of the above, and yes there are some contradictions in there, which describes me perfectly.
OCD only shows up in a few area's, and is well managed, but it is there. How else do you describe someone who citric acid wash's brass and takes a q-tip or brush to each and every primer pocket?
I was born old school, raised old school, and I live old school. Grandpa <insert name> fixed his tractor engine under that tree and if it was good enough for him it is good enough for me.
Mountain man is the only one that you might pin me on. I was born and bred a flatlander, and I love to look at hills, but family is all down on the flats so that is where I live.
The primer pocket issue is up for debate...some of these 'high speed brass stuffers'...(OMG...a new acronym-HSBS's) here have never even seen their primer pockets...I suppose that's the other side of the pendulum swing there?

HSBS...and proud of it!!!
If I can not do it well, I at least do it fast. I mean when it comes to stuffing brass, or maybe turkeys...not in other important things. OK OS...why did you start this!!!

It's always the HSBS crowd poking fun at the OCD's for having so much concern for those little insignificant primer pockets...ever now and then we get a chance to poke back (it's an inside joke)...so I started this for 'giggles'...remember OCD's interpret the art of handloading somewhat differently than a reloader (parts assembler) does.

I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
