hmmm......
So yeah. I'm new to you, but you are not new to me. Been a lurker (even unregistered) for a few years. In August I decided to go ahead and create an account. And only recently decided to start posting.
As I get more and more involved with the local gun community, I realize there are more of us than meets the eye. I'm a transplant to Maryland... and I come from the gun-friendly mountain states. Well...that was a culture shock. lol
I'm ex LEO, but I haven't been a badge toter for 13 years now. I still bleed blue when cut tho, and I continue to carry thanks to LEOSA (with certain limitations of course). I've been carrying a gun for over 27 years. I set up and ran an armed security team for a church in Colorado. I've shot IPSC, IDPA, and engaged in some fun charity shooting events with the 4H. I was SWAT for a little over 4 years. I am out of practice. I need to get re-engaged.
I'm a YouTuber. That sounds funny I'm sure. It's something I enjoy doing and I've been doing it pretty consistently for about the last 6 years. I take my interests, and skills and use YouTube as a venue to share and connect with others. Whether is learning to fly a plane, playing with RC toys, Jeeps, or guns. Yep, I've been encouraged by several to start a gun-related YouTube channel... so I did. Finally.
I have long avoided being "public" about my gun self. It's nobody's business that I carry, or what I carry. That's why I have been a lurker here, rather than active. But, I've decided to change things up a bit because I want join those of you who are working hard to help others learn, get proper training, and perhaps better understand the gun community. I'm working to become an NRA instructor in the pistol disciplines, and then I'd like to get more engaged in that arena. Ultimately, I'd like to get back to supporting Law Enforcement, as a civilian, and this may be a way to do it. So anyway... that's why the change.
It may not be your thing, but if it is... feel free to check it out. I'd appreciate a "subscribe". It's very new. But I have a lot of thoughts on content. I'm trying to kick out content that's a little different than the usual "I'm a professional shooter and I'm switched on 100% of the time" type of stuff. There are enough folks out there already covering that genre. I watch them. I learn from them. But that's not my lifestyle, so I'll just be the "regular guy with a dad bod" type of channel. It's called blasterKRAFT. I know... not my first choice, but I was having to navigate around trademarks and branding in a very saturated space.
Finally, I'll just say thanks. I learn so much from all of you. There is a lot of experience in this forum!
