I am Kiran from Hubli.
Been following the posts on IFG for some time now.
About me, I have always been fascinated by guns and knives ever since I can remember. As a kid used to make my own Bow and arrows out of bamboo sticks and Badminton racquet guts and was considered an expert catapult maker among my friends.
Currently I don’t own any firearms, though a few where held by my grandpa, an occasional hunter, He gave them away long time ago. I always ask my aunt and my mum if they had seen the weapon and heckle them asking the details. I have a couple of knives two rat brand knives both folding type pen knives one of which is fashioned to look like a key with a blade hidden inside! Both of them in dire need of restoration ,I also recently got a kukri from Nepal its a decent piece and am looking for a Balisong.
I have handled air rifles for a long time .But not a gun powered one yet. I love bolt action rifles Would love to own a one day preferably a .22LR hopefully not a IOF.
I am also an auto enthusiast love cars and bikes and machines in general, I am also an avid reader, and I download a lot off stuff off the net. The books I am currently Reading related to Guns is “The art of rifle “and” The Ultimate sniper, among magazines “Guns magazine “Field and Stream" and "Outdoor Life”.
I would also request fellow members to suggest some books to get my basics right.
One of the main reasons for me to join the IFG was to show solidarity with you guys and my support for NAGRI , the recent move by the MHA asking for a Verifiable proof of harm to ones life is a Joke but seriously it has made me Paranoid. I don’t think VIP's need protection it’s more like we need protection from the VIP's. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!! I do not understand why the Gov is so keen to deny the most basic of our rights when they themselves have failed to provide it!
It was truly said " A patriot must protect his country against its government"
Well guys that's about it from me .
Cheers
Kiran
