4. Do I fit your description?

Hello;

I am wondering if I am included in your statement...

I suppose am what you would consider a 'gun nut.' I am a middle age (50s) white male living in a rural area.

I own several AR-15s. Several other long guns and about a half-dozen handguns.

I also have a master's degree. I have spent my professional life in law enforcement, the military, and as an inner-city educator.

I have been debt free for ten years, my wife and I own a 2000 square foot home (that's 4 bedrooms on 3 levels for those not familiar with square footage.) On five acres overlooking a lake, up here in the country.

We have three grown children, all productive members of society. One of whom is in the military.

I arrived at ground zero at 6:30 pm. and stayed for three days.

I coughed up blood for a year afterwards.

I never had my IQ tested.

Does your original post apply to me?

Just wondering.
