Just curious, I know that we all love the guns.

So how do you support our nasty little habit?

I for one work as a maintenance tech at my apartment complex while going to school full time. I'm also a Project Development Manager for a non profit, (that doesn't count, i volunteer).

Your turn, if you wish.

Stealing from my daughter's piggybank and digging through my wife's purse.

When that doesn't pan out I work for a small software company doing support, installation, sales, QC....pretty much everything but coding it.

I am a 5 time ASE certified Master Auto Technician, and I have been fixing cars in Lincoln since 1967.

Graduated from Milford, NE tech college in 1974 with an associates degree in Automotive technology

For many years I worked a family suspension and alignment business with my Dad.

Then I spent 10 years in the general repair field, specializing in drive-ability problems and electrical diagnosis in the then new computerized engine controls area.

For 20 of those years I specialized in rebuilding automatic transmissions and transaxles.

Now I am back in the general repair business and still do transmission rebuilding.

And in my spare time I play with guns and computers

I am a lead check airman for a "Fractional" jet company. "Fractionals" are similar to time-shares in condos. You buy part of a jet (one sixteenth, one eighth, one fourth, one half, etc.), pay a monthly management fee for the privilege of owning the jet, and then pay an hourly rate for the time you are flown in the plane. Or, if you don't have the extra $3.5 million to buy half of a small jet, you could just lay down $100K and that would get you 25 hours in the same plane.

My job is to give checkrides to the check airman who give checkrides to the line pilots. Thus my user name and my usual signature "Fly".

Work full time now and for the rest of my days to support what "The Regime" and Congress have enacted into law..... And Lorimor is not being completely honest. He works on MRIs and CTs part time, and is a full time student at Thunder Ranch.

I am an estimator/ project manager for a commercial electrical contractor in the Omaha area. Been working with electrical in one way or another for about 14 years. And I make leather holsters and mag pouches in the little bit of spare time I have.

Every night at 11:30 I arrive at a factory and push a couple buttons. Then put ~~round~~ round reels ~~and~~ in square cylinders. For 15yrs before I turned wrenches, but then decided I wanted a paycheck and some benefits.

I am a Wildlife Biologist and currently specialize in wildlife hazards at airports. I try to keep the skies safe for all who fly, which I guess includes On the Fly. But my greatest pleasure is protecting those that protect us.

Ram....my sister-in-law's brother does the same down in Oklahoma i.e. Tinker AFB, etc. Ultimate man job in my opinion...especially the supressed 10-22.

For the last 35 years, I have been in the Automotive Parts Business.
2 years at a Warehouse Distributor, then to a family owned New Car Dealership. Like Dan W, seen alot of changes over the years. Some good, some not so good.

In my spare time, I try to suck some braincells out of the local gunshop owner.

If that doesn't work, I try to con him to take me to the range.

Bullit,

I looked his name up in our directory and his name doesn't ring a bell right off, but if I saw him I would probably know him. I know several of the folks in Oklahoma. As I always say it is a small world especially in my agency. And yes the supressed toys are fun, my .223 should be back from Remington next week.

sounds like i'm a youngster lol. 35 years here, 25 yrs there, at least we agree on guns:)

I kid, i kid. Being a college student at 28 is culture shock for me, the way some of these 17-18 yr olds act is rediculous.
