Here I Am!

Post by jksunwar » Mon Feb 29, 2016 1:26 pm

Hi everyone,

I have been a regular visitor to the forum for quite some time before finally registering some time back. Sorry for the delay in introducing myself.

Well, I am 45 yrs. YOUNG and work in Doordarshan. Presently I am posted at Itanagar, the capital city of Arunachal Pradesh in the northeast tip of India. Coming from a military background of three generations, I have always been close to guns. And oh Boy do they fascinate me! Always regret my decision not to go for a military career. If I could have it all over again, I would blindly join the army – just for the love of guns. My other loves are Jeeps, Bullet(the motorcycle) and nature.

Well, regarding actual shooting experience – I don’t have much. Other than some .22 & 12 gauge clay target shooting during NCC days ages ago my experience with shooting mainly comprises some casual air rifle plinking during teens, that again ages ago. Those were the days! Then the grind of life took over and time suddenly zipped by. However, now at 45, I am finally beginning to get some free time. So here I am!

Hope its not too late to start all over again.

First of all I need to buy myself a good gun. And I know I am in the right company.

Cheers!
Jai Kumar

Welcome jksunwar,

Your story is so similar to mine , I joined IFG last year and have been absolutely hooked. One gets to learn so much, and everyone is willing to help with sincere advice. Try and read old submits , most of your queries would be solved that a way. We all look forward to hearing from you and learning your experiences as well.

Best wishes,

Chicky

Welcome. I am a newcomer as well, though because I had the luck to be born an American, I have been able to shoot, hunt, and carry for self defense, firearms for most of my life. Now that I have retired from a carreer in military research, testing, developement and evaluation, I have started another writing about guns and gun issues. It seems a grave injustice to me that so many in India are denied their natural rights. Good luck to you, and I hope to be of some small assistance. I am nearly 65. The years do fly by.
