What Was Your Rank?

[Canis-Lupus]

Thank you gun runner, hopefully our patrons will
not take up too much of your time, seems that
almost every week a new social group evolves with
a solid clientelle of expert/owners in their weapons of choice,
and those groups have some real savvy owners/users in them.
Thanks from all In Vets and Guns.

Hi C/L,
I forgot about the little pistol X-bow, got one of those too! I got out as an E-5 on the E-6 countdown. Almost made the next grade, but had a better offer on the outside. got out and started a repair business and ran it for about 10 years, then the co-owner died and I decided to move on. Never looked back!

His interests include ATF - alcohol, tobacco and firearms! "Whose bringing the snacks?"

His primary carry weapon is an AMT .380 Backup
All Firearms: Beretta 92, (nice) an AMT Hardballer a Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag,
