I have to wonder if FEO at the end of your name means Fire Engine Operator.

Hahaha while it does fit my brother's occupation, I acquired that name a looooong time ago when someone in middle school realized that my name "Matt" in spanish (Mateo) conveniently rhymes with "feo" (spanish for 'ugly'). Fortunately my wife looked past the "feo" and decided to keep me around.
Oh well, I was an FEO in Detroit Fire Department.
And you say that means ugly…Hmmmm

Thanks Mateo. It is weird in a way how we can be "immortal" in some sense on the internet...yet as grass withers in the sun, so is man who passes away...

I don’t know about this guy. He prefers Rye whiskey over good old corn liquor. I will hold off judgement for a while.

Welcome aboard! Some of these guys proudly wear the curmudgeon badge and consider people our age "kids" still, but they're all good folks and are more than willing to pass on their knowledge to those willing to listen. Best forum on the net and being a supporter, you already have earned some respect.

Indeed. I remember him saying to me, in his shop, working up loads, with a fat dip of Cope in his cheek:
"Son, you gotta do what you love for as long as you can. I ain't pushing daisies yet, so until I am, I want to share what I know with all you young fellas to share with your kids someday."

I have tried to keep interested in guns-reloading-shooting, but I must confess it is nearly all about the social impact of guns that concerns me now.
Some call for a replacement for guns, but that solves nothing. A replacement must by necessity perform the same, if not improved function, and the function of the gun is to kill.
I'm not unrealistic as the things cannot be un-invented. I do think that technology will one day make them obsolete (killing will no longer be useful/profitable). I'm betting that hardly anyone wants to be the main course on the menu.
Once we solve the physical/real world problems, we can tackle the superstitions that have dragged us down for millennia.
I'll give it a rest here for a year or so before I visit again.

I consider this to be the premier Site for those who love shooting, and love accuracy.
You will find that there is a wide array of members willing to converse, and help.

As soon as you blame human behavior and responsibility on inanimate objects, you are lost in fantasy land.

Not sure why you chose to post this on a New Member thread from 4 years ago from someone who hasn't been on in 6+ months.
?
Let alone why you'd say what you did.
April is still a month away......

Yeah, but Gold Member status to post that? Member since January 2026?
Oh, well.
Already spent at least 15 minutes too many thinking about it.
