Hello from the SF Bay Area

1
Kelton here from Menlo Park, CA. It’s a somewhat open secret that a lot of us tech nerds like guns... even some of the liberals like me :)

I mostly like lever actions, but I have a few AR’s because ZOMBIES (especially the kind that invaded Charlottesville a while back).

I get a big kick out of big bore guns (pun intended!)... I shoot 45 ACP, 45 Colt, 45-70, and 458 SOCOM.

I reload a little bit and shoot a few times a year up at Los Altos Rod & Gun.

I aspire to someday hunt for meat, but to date the only thing I’ve killed are conversations with gun-fearing liberal friends.

Hahaha, yeah. My dad was the real enabler. At least half of my arsenal was inherited from him when he passed a while back. He was the one who raised me right, teaching me how to handle and respect firearms. Too bad he never noticed I was left eye dominant... it was only after he passed that I figured out why I was such a lousy shot. Now I’m just a bad shot. ;-)
