a sad thing... sadder still to be reminded of their black hole of hope for eternity. Kim and Connie's writing was of great value to me as both a diversion while dealing with back and nerve pain that had laid me low and an intellectual stimulant and sharpening. I'm thankful for them and wish them peace and comfort in the days ahead.
May God interfere in their hearts and minds in her remaining days, open their eyes to grant hope, faith, repentance and humility to accept Christ's free gift.

Re: Connie And Kim
Yeah, looking at that ammo stash... Kim reignited in me a love of shooting and reloading that had lain dormant for a while. The first slip into the abyss was crossing the threshold of the LMOD for the first time in years and spying an immaculate wood and blue BHP 9mm. The rest as they say is history. It's been a groundhog day like blur of filling out and refilling out 4473's and DROS forms ever since. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The new safe purchase that followed filled up quickly until going empty again after the boating accidents. The new and improved loading bench with additional presses remains...
His greatest service may have been the Nation of Rifleman webpage, logo and T-shirt. I met Flintlock first out in town when we spied each other wearing the same shirt. I haven't stopped to count the number of new shooters, owners and RKBA supporters I've had the priviledge to add to the NoR.

God have mercy. This has been a hard year for this sort of thing.

Well, I did. I bought Kim's 6.5 x 55 rifle that he used to shoot Boomer targets with, back in the day.JustinR wrote:Damn, damn, damn. I've never met either one of them personally, but this still makes me really sad.
And I have taken numerous deer with it, and a hog or 2.
I liked Kim; had numerous discussions with him on the old Forum, and privately on email. At times, we agreed to disagree.
Connie...........not so much. She nearly banned me a time or two. I forgave her, based on her medical history.
And if her illness is terminal, I wish her a swift and painless passing.

Several years ago, I discovered that an ex-girlfriend had passed away the previous year; ovarian cancer. Several years before that she'd had extreme surgery and the cancer seemed to have been licked. But then it came back and it was all over.
Cancer fucking sucks!

Kim had a great influence on me. I transformed from a casual gun owner to a rabid collector and staunch 2A supporter. I wish Connie a speedy and painless passing.

I'll pray for them both, even if they don't much care for the process. Kim helped me meet you guys by providing a forum. I will always be thankful for that.

Trip to the range yesterday to renew membership.
Trip to LMOD to see what instruments of liberty may be on hand worthy of purchase on the occasion of the day. Something worthy of a spot in the safe next to the nickel S&W kitgun purchased the day Heller came down...
