I joined this site early last year after lurking around and finding some very similar beliefs that I have about owning and carrying a gun. I don't have any professional experience like most of you and can appreciate the input that you give on this forum.
The Internet is a difficult place at times and the moderators here do a good job of keeping it civil.
