Jan, I don't think anyone here has been especially rude to you, though some could be more welcoming.
To all: Posts on The Firing Line do NOT have to agree with the prevailing point of view! Dissent is NOT trolling!

Closed.

P.S.-- Jan, you never answered what kind of gun you have. Hope you post often with substance here. We're here to learn.
