    Hello,
    I just joined the board and hope that this is the proper place to introduce myself. I am a retired Marine who splits his time between California and Nevada. I have been interested in militaria for as long as I can remember. My principle area of interest is the First World War. I look forward to learning from the other members on the board.

    Ricardo,
    Welcome mate.
    Sounds to me that you might need two armouries, one in California with hardly any weapons in it, and Nevada which will be over stocked. What a reversal of history, the further out west, cowboy country so to speak, with such tight control on weapons, and then Nevada with a real slack firearms policy!!

    Gil,
    Yes, that is very true. California is not very friendly towards the types of things which I like to collect but there are still some good people here. As I slowly transition towards my second retirement we are spending more time in Northern Nevada since I like the mountains along with the sense of freedom and relative lack of political correctness.
