I think I understand your qualms. I too have sometimes wondered what we folks here on TFL have in common other than our interests in firearms. Whenever a discussion goes anywhere too far it seems that it gets locked. Like "I was carrying my new Kimber home in the 'Cuda..." followed by " Neat - I have one too! They are great cars - what year is yours?" would definitley be shut down. Now I don't suggest stuff like "guess what I spent at the grocery store today" or "I have a pimply rear" being allowed to stay. But maybe a little more latitude into letting us get to know each other a little more...
