    Greetings from easternmost Maine

    Hi!

    I've had a Colt DS (1973, 38spl) for about two years. Given to me as a gift by my father-in-law, it is my only handgun and one of only two firearms I own.

    Obviously, I've got a lot to learn, so I'm happy to have found a place with so many knowledgeable folks! I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions.

    First of all, welcome. Second, there is no such thing as a stupid question.

    Welcome to the Forum!
    "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit such crimes... such laws make things worse for the assualted and better for the assailants: they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man" Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria NRA Life Member
