What the Heck is Going On Here!?

LeverBar · Post by **LeverBar** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 12:11 am

Kindness and Good Will are spreading.

I was just offered a free manual from Dave--one that will aid me in taking care of my rifles.

Some of you are instrumental in honoring a member with a Sword/Saber (my ignorance showing up). The saber is not as precious, I would suppose, as is the esteem being shown to the honored member.

A couple fellows are going on a "hunt of a lifetime." It is unlikely they will be offered such a gift again in their lives. All stemming from the inspiration and the generosity of Levergunners.

I have seen shooting and reloading components given freely among members.

Prayers are sent, heart-felt, daily.

Quips, advice, consolation, restraint--nearly all threads are full of thoughtfulness and consideration for other people.

Where do you people get off! How can this be?

(I hold you people in high regard.)

Leverbar, you have found the home of a group of fine Christian Gentlemen.

Happy Trails and God Bless,

Rusty <><

LeverBar;
I am sure everyone here prays you are right; that "Kindness and Good Will are spreading." Such a "spreading" is possible only through the action of doing acts of "Kindness and Good Will:" and that definitely happens here!
I thank you for your observation. Over the years I have been at "Christian sites" which, even with an obvious effort, were not as filled with "Kindness and Good Will" as the fine members here.
As for me, this has become the only site I regularly visit and the only site I regularly read, and the only place I have a desire to, and feel comfortable in posting at. Grace and Peace.

There are some good folks here.

In the last 4 months of 2007, I had the opportunity to meet in person, three of the forum members, and I did business buying or selling with six others. (I also did business with two of those I met) I have to say that the forum members are very genuine and just darn nice people. They are the salt of the earth. My brother turned me onto this forum, I had been an onlooker way back, but never participated. I am glad that this home on the net is here. I thank the moderators and Paco for their efforts and I thank the forum members for their wealth of knowledge and their willingness to keep it real.

This forum reminds me of back when I was in the military (AF).

There was always that rivalry and disagreements at times between
the different branches of the military.

But we all new that when the rubber hit the road your brothers & sisters
in arms had your back, no matter what branch of the service they were in.

Definitely a fine bunch of folks here.

This is indeed the home of honorable men and women. It is a pleasure to be connected in a small way with such great people!

There are a lot of great guys on this forum. I have been the recipient of many things I simply could not afford , and have received things as gifts just because.

This is my #1 forum. I'm here because of the great folks that are here.

Author's Note:

We are not all "Christian." Some of us may conduct ourselves as such, but we do not carry, nor tout the beliefs. Such a label excludes many of us--or perhaps, just me.

Count me in to...just love being a part of this Cyber Family.

Happy New Year to Everyone

We all have our own special relationship with the Author of Creation, and those who share the values of honor and goodness to others can rightly claim a fellowship that goes beyond doctrine.

Scott64A · Post by **Scott64A** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 4:02 pm

Yes indeed.

A better group of forum-goers can not be found anywhere else.

If there were to be a Leverguns.com jamboree, I'd certainly go. Most are Christians, including myself, but many are not, and I'm glad that is not the issue here. The driving force is basic human goodness.

The thing that separates this forum from some of those "Christian" forums is the lack of any assumption. The whole attitude that comes with those sites can be pretensive. It feels forced and rather un-genuine.

Here, we are all just ourselves. Christian or no, we all like to shoot and seem to strive for better in all we do.

God bless Leverguns.com and a happy 2008.

LeverBar · Post by **LeverBar** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 5:16 pm

Well said, Scott64A.

The Lewis · Post by **The Lewis** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 5:36 pm

I will agree with all of the above. I think you are all a fine group and enjoy the candid sharing of info and opinion.

Thanks to all and Happy '08!

Kind of an odd bunch these days!

LeverBob · Post by **LeverBob** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:32 pm

I think that maybe we might put together a Rendevous, just like the old Mountain men...just a thought.

It would be great to meet once a year, eat, drink, shoot, ride horses & trade.

And...of course, swap some lies, tall tales & just sit around a campfire before retiring to our teepees.

What do you guys think?

LeverBob

LeverBar · Post by **LeverBar** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:48 pm

Well Now, that might be enjoyable!

Lastmohecken · Post by **Lastmohecken** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:55 pm

This is my favorite forum, also. Even the most opinionated of us remains polite, and decent in our post's, very different then other forums I have frequented, elsewhere.

I don't know anyone presonally on here, but in general, I am certain a better bunch couldn't be found, anywhere.

Post by **Hobie** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:57 pm

For those unaware of such there have been levergunner get-togethers. From what I've heard all were successful. That didn't surprise me.

rjohns94 · Post by **rjohns94** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 7:04 pm

I am all for a rendevous . count me in

I think it's a great idea. We had a Leverguns/Sixguns .com get together two years ago in Indiana. It was supposed to be an annual get together but it fizzled out.

I'd love to do it again. No idea how to organize it though.

I for one would love too see a levergun get together I would go for sure if it was some where we could do some shooting and a little gun tradin & camp fire cookin Just tell me when and where.

Scott64A · Post by **Scott64A** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 10:18 pm

I, too would love to go to a rendezvous.

Name the time and place, and I'll try to squeeze it in between school and work. Heck, I'll even bring an advanced first-aid kit, being almost a paramedic and all. I could be the group's medic, managing pretty much any injury/illness until an ambulance arrives.

It would be an honor to serve, and a gathering not to be missed!
I don't have a horse, but I can ride.

Who here has the kind of space for such a meeting?
Why don't we make a sticky for this?
