Hey guys, really glad I found this site, hoping to learn a lot.
I grew up with guns around the house, but they were mostly just in case they were ever needed for self defense. Same with my wife. Neither of us ever actually shot very much and, really didn't/don't know much about what we're doing. Dianne Feinstein and Obama inspired us to turn it into a more serious hobby.
Someone my wife works with had a Ruger mini 30 for sale, and we decided to buy it for ourselves for Christmas. Since then we've started stocking up, arming ourselves and trying to learn what we're doing. We joined a local range, we've signed up for CCW classes, bought two new Glock 26 Gen 4s and Crimson Trace Laser Grips for carrying, a Glock 19 from a friend, a S&W M&P 1522, I've ordered a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe holster, I already had a S&W Sigma 40 VE and a Mossberg 500 Cruiser for a couple of years, we have 1000 to 3000 rounds of ammo for all the different calibers we have.
I bought a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9-40 scope for the Ruger, we've bought extra mags for everything, lots of accessories, et cetera. We've watched hundreds of youtube videos (Hickok45 is my favorite) and read hundreds of articles. We both signed up for 5 year NRA memberships. We're serious about learning and enjoying this new hobby, and serious about protecting ourselves and our rights.
Anyway, There doesn't seem to be a lot out there about the mini 30 and I was starting to think I was the only one who owned one. I stumbled across this forum and have only read a couple of posts so far, but I'm thrilled to have found it.
