Transformation

Given that Jennifer has started the "how did you become a gunnie?"* meme I thought this article by Katherine Von Tour was a good read.  I know it's old but I'd never read it before.

It's always interesting to see exactly what triggers a persons transformation into a gunnie (and often a liberty-minded individual at the same time)  For Von Tour the biggest trigger seemed to be the L.A. Riots.  For some there's a specific event that triggers the change, while for others it's simply a change in mindset.

*I intend to write my story soon, though I'm not sure how interesting it'll be.

For me, it was the events in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I've thought about posting my "story", but it's far from finished.

That was an interesting story.

I'd love to hear/read your story. This whole thing has been really fun. Thank you for linking that article. I hadn't seen it before.
And Christina, I'd love to hear your unfinished story. Mine's not finished either.
