Milk is actually bad for you, but I still drink it.

Welcome.
Local brick and mortar places to buy : Keiths, NW Armory, Curts, Oregon Rifle Works, Fisherman's, Sportsmans -- to name a few.
Places to Train : Get on the wait list for TCGC, seek our Cerberus here. There are many other trainers. I've had the good fortune to have some folk take me under their wing.
A lot of books don't make much sense until you dive into the pool.

Milk is also a gateway drug. Every single alcoholic, pot smoker, or needle junkie started with milk. Be careful!

By the way, were you aware that humans are the only species that drink milk as adults? It's probably not that important since we're also the only species that flies helicopters, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

Welcome to the forum. As you can see, it's a very serious place!

Gateway huh? It explains a lot that has occurred in my life over the years

True. Both lead to quality time in the bathroom for me.

Welcome Aboard. Glad you found the forum.



This is the best place to hang out on the internet.



Check out the organized clean ups. It's the best way to meet the community and learn where and how to use public lands responsibly.



We are doing non ODF supported cleanups at public forests - check the North Fork Wolf Creek Road thread in resources.



If you really want to get involved in community action check out Trash No Land.

Hello @Shuaduah. Welcome from the gun-totin' old broad contingent.

Milk is good for adult humans or not depending on the specific human. Baby mammals digest lactose, the sugar in milk, by means of the enzyme lactase, found in their small intestines. Most adult mammals don't produce lactase. However, a number of human populations that practiced dairying have evolved various genes in the regulatory section of DNA next to the gene that codes for lactase, and they continue making lactase as adults. If you lack genes for "persistent lactase" and drink milk, the lactose goes through your small intestine undigested and hits your gut, where various bacteria go crazy gobbling up the lactose and getting very happy. You get gas and the runs. You can still eat cheeses or fermented milk products because in cheese making the lactose goes into the whey, not the cheese. And in fermented products bacteria have eaten most of the lactose. However both dried milk and dried whey are added to many commercial processed foods and baked goods. Humans can also develop allergies to some of the proteins in milk. This can be species related. So if you are allergic to cow's milk cheese you may not be allergic to sheep, goat, or water buffalo cheeses.

Guns, like milk, are good for adult humans or not depending on the human. Sensible guys like you who make no bones about being beginners are likely to learn fast and do fine.
Cheers, Carol.

My dogs and cats will drink milk if they can get it. Just put some in a bowl in front of them and it's gone.

Humans are still the only species that wipes it's butt-- excepting dogs in need of anal gland work

Many other species also lick their own butthole to clean themselves… so what's your point?

Welcome from the Land of Evil Spirits!

Milk is doubly bad for me as I inherited an allergy to it from my son (long story). And I live in cow country, so am viewed with suspicion.

We've all tried.

Well, here I am. The newest of newbies in every sense here. Never shot or owned a gun, but I'll be receiving my conceal carry license soon. Looking for places to buy, shoot and educate myself about guns (besides YouTube).

Welcome Noob! I was a noob to firearms just before finding NWFA in Nov 2011.
Interested in training? The Wife took training at the Clackamas County Sheriffs training center.

Public Safety Training Center | Clackamas County

The Public Safety Training Center is a great indoor shooting range in Clackamas Oregon. In addition to the handgun and rifle shooting range, you can take tactical shooting classes, gun safety courses, defensive shooting classes and survival workshops. We also offer fingerprinting, passport...

It was well worth the money for her, being a complete noob to guns. There area lot of people in your shoes taking these classes, so no need to worry about being the greenest of the bunch. Intimidation factor in the class was nil.

 

[CLT65]

Welcome! Kudos to you for doing it right; safety is the number one most important thing.

I'm all for the right to bear arms, but it does worry me when I see those who know nothing about guns besides what they've seen on TV, buying guns. I wish all newbies had the great attitude about it that you do.
