Found the liberal gun club looking for a more "inclusive" group.
I grew up in my grandfathers gunshop, in a small town of Mosier Oregon.
I didn't know I grew up liberal, because all of us small town rednecks where.
Over the last 10 or 15 years I've noticed a change in my gun groups that I did not care for in the least. (Besides the weaponsguild forums which are still great)
An additude that didn't feel inclusive, which hurts a bit.
I have gay and transgender nieces and nephews, and family that doesn't fit the mold all together. Not to mention I have quite a blue streak myself
It weighed on me, being part of groups that would willfully and at any opportunity disparage the "type of people" I'm lucky to have close to me.
Anyways, I'm a new lgc member, started with the lowest membership just to check you guys out.
Adam, aka redbanner.
P.s. besides photobucket, what image hosts work for this forums style of posting? I haven't copy pasted image links this way in probably a decade, so I'm out of the loop.

3I have never narrowed it down to any one class of firearm.
Did mostly cowboy action stuff in my youth, it was very popular at the time but died off a bit.
Did 3 gun matches for awhile, but messed my leg up pretty bad in a work accident.
I just like building and shooting these days, at my own pace.
Anything from match lock, to folding stock.
I'm just a fan for all internal combustion I guess.
figured the photos out.. but my camera won't even take pics small enough to post, that size restriction needs to be updated or I need to learn the "trick"
Just imagine the coolest, most "operator" level ar picture you have ever seen *right here*
We can talk about how I'm wrong once I figure it out. Lol

Re: Pnw, New member.
11Thanks for the welcome.
As for loading pics, if it can't be done easily from a phone these days, why even bother.
Most of the pictures on the forum are broke anyways. It's like the 90's up in here. Lol
That's sounds harsher than I ment it too.
But for real.

Re: Pnw, New member.
12Welcome - from southwest ohio. I think you’ll find that this is an inclusive group. I have a very diverse family myself, and I don’t care for the racism & homophobic I’ve seen steadily increasing in the “mainstream” 2A boards.
I used to moderate a local, Ohio 2A group & it became more difficult to keep the topics on task to gun rights & guns and less on white grievance & nationalist tropes - with less & less room for other viewpoints on topics not related to 2A. I got help from the libertarians- but eventually even they went full Trump authoritarian on Reddit. I gave up admin/moderation duties well before Trump’s rise in 2014. But the handwriting was on the wall and they were just waiting for their Mussolini.
However, this board is still full of cantankerous old guys that like to argue/discuss about the minutiae of cast bullets, and obsolete firearms ... so I got right in.

Re: Pnw, New member.
14Welcome, RedBanner. We are inclusive here or at least mostly inclusive since we are mostly Democrats. I do not have 3 guns yet so you are ahead of me. Have you tried Flickr?
Re: Pnw, New member.
15I'll add my welcome!
As you no doubt have noticed, this place is populated by (generally) rational folks, with a wide range of interests beyond firearms and the Second Amendment... Glad to have you here!

Rational? I don't know if that's the word. Cantankerous? That feels accurate. Old? Now look here, whippersnapper - wait, where did I put my cane?
Certainly worse places to be from than Wasco County.

18True wings, thank you guys for the welcome.
Of, I have not tried flicker but I do know of it.
It takes me so long to transfer and post pics via a third party that I just crumble half way through.
It's like doing taxes for me haha.

What phone do you use? My Android always ask if I want to down size any picture I wish to share.

20Howdy from southern AZ.
I bet growing up in a gun shop was fun. Lucky you. I bet you prolly shot dang near everything.
As for pics, this is the only forum I ever been in that limits size and typically any phone pic is gonna run 4-500k, least mine are from my S-10 and past phones seem the same. It's a real PITA resizing on your phone (not sure I can even do it) every pic, if you want to keep the quality of your picture you should save an extra one on your pc before you resize. It's like not that much bandwidth these days as compared to like the 90's lol.

Damn, this solution is not repeatable.
Flicker doesn't seem to have a [img] link option.
Who ever chose this forum format should be riddled with guilt lol.
Phpbb would have had many better options with hosting for very cheap.
