Hello everyone. I am a 32 year old father of two. Any Rand's writing changed the way I view the world and immediately made sense of everything I had felt and ideas that I had tried to clarify and integrate for my whole life. I am very concerned with the direction the country and the world is heading and what I am leaving to my children. I am passionate about being a good father and raising my children to be the best that they can be. Although it is not my career as of yet firearms are the thing that I love. Guns are my Taggart Transcontinental. I am interested in discussing Objectivism in relation to current events and modern life, and welcome ideas and information on how to live more authentically in a concrete sense. I know the values that I wish to encourage in my daughters, but how to implement this in the world we live in without making them outcasts can be difficult. I also would love to talk to anyone in the firearms field that would be willing to share advice on how best to approach a career in guns. I look forward to interacting with rational adults, which is a pleasure far more rare than it should be.
