    Hi folks,

    Grew up in IN and definitely feel my values were formed there. Moved New Mexico right after graduating college (IU) in '88, managed a gun store for a couple years and then went to law school. Met a sweet girl and got married in '95. Have worked in some capacity (investigator, prosecutor, defense attorney, consulting attorney) in over 200 handgun killing cases - reviewing all those reports and frequently being the only person who could talk to the last man standing about exactly what happened definitely changed what I carry. I've been around the gun web since the mid-'90s, but I just joined up here today after noticing an old friend was very active here.

    Nice place - I commented to my wife about how impressed I was with the quality of discussion I saw here. Anyway, cheers from the high desert! :patriot:

    And that, folks, is how you introduce yourself.

    I spent a short amount of time in Phoenix, AZ after joining Mr88GT (then four months later he decided to come back to his old job :rolleyes:). The SW is nice, but even in those short months, I missed the green and seasons based on cold, not precipitation. :D

    Welcome to INGO.

    Hello and Welcome to INGO...

    Very good intro. Well done.

    There is a wealth of information on this site. Look forward to your input. You said that your interviews with the last man standing has changed what you carry but you neglected to mention exactly in what way. What a tease...

    Enjoy the site...

    Erich is my good friend. Please do not hold this against him in any way.

    In trial in Benton County last week, thought of you. Are you going to post that photo of you in high school?:laugh:

    Shoot straight, high desert drifter.
