Hi everyone, I'm glad to have found this forum and I hope to join in on some discussions with like minded individuals. I live in western Washington state but was born and raised in Virginia and hope to get back there one day. I am a stay at home mom to twin baby girls. I'm very liberal socially.
I'm married to a former Marine, avid hunter and federal law enforcement officer, so our gun collection is large and diverse. I personally own two pistols- The Judge (Taurus) to keep near my bedside and for fun at the range, and a Springfield XDS 9 for everyday concealed carry. I look forward to reading lots of articles and discussions!

8Thanks everyone! I googled "group for liberal gun enthusiasts" after trying to connect with some local moms. Hippies are not fans of guns. (No offense- back home in VA I'm considered pretty crunchy.)
And....whaat about The Judge?? What do people kill poisonous snakes with?

10You just have to convert them to fun loving hippies. Think of it as an opportunity.

14We used shovels and air guns back in the day. If had a ranch, I'd probably buy a 454 and load it with shot, which is legal.

My hippie friends are a lot less anti gun when they talk with a person who owns firearms and uses them responsibly.
