Good Afternoon From The Gun Dude
Afternoon y'all. It's colder than...well, lets suffice to say it is cold here in Virginia this morning.
I am new to the forum and figured it would be good to introduce myself.
I recently left my job at the Pentagon to start my own company in Northern Virginia. I believe strongly in the 2nd Amendment and felt the need to help others join the shooting sport as well as help those already firmly entrenched receive their firearms easily and at a good price. That said we offer the most cost effective transfer in Northern Virginia at $20 as well as shipping services. I have even successfully sold firearms into Washington, D.C.! A feat that made me no money when you account for the hours of research to figure out what is actually legal there. But I digress... We also offer The First Time Gun Buyer's Service, to help those who are new to guns enter the industry more easily and safely.
My LinkedIn profile is by far the most comprehensive account of what and where I have been if you are that interested. Here's the abridged version: before this I was a Counterintelligence Agent and Physical Security Specialist with The Pentagon Force Protection Agency from 2009-2013. I served in the US Navy as a Corpsman from January 2002 to January 2007 with a reasonably uneventful deployment in 2006 to Kuwait. I spent 10 years as a Paramedic working in Pittsburgh, PA and various cities in California. I graduated from The University of California, Santa Cruz with a BA in Psychology and Premed and went on to obtain an MBA from American Military University.
At the heart of it all is my family. My wife Christine and our two dogs Hank and Charlotte...maybe kids soon? Who knows. For fun I like to camp, spend time on the beach, and build.... be it a house, a company, a website. I like to create and watch my creations grow. I grew up in Bradford, PA but I think we are headed back to Santa Cruz, CA. While I detest California's gun laws and other aspects of their politics...I fell in love with the coast and the Sierra Nevada...I have never been in such pristine country and love spending time in the back country.
I look forward to participating in this forum and hope that I can contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
