[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1646029, member: 87243"] It's likely that I will get back into LE after all is said and done, so I'm not quite out of the woods yet ha ha!! Both my parents were Law Enforcement as well. Father retired with a total of 28 years, and my mother is still going with 20. I will only need 13 or 14 more years and I can retire with 55% of my last 5 years wage, but even if I pick LE up again 7 years from now, I will only be 49 or 50 years old when I will have a total of 20 years in, so I can retire from LE and go to full time gunsmithing and building. I just have to maintain some post hours to keep my certification. Hopefully by then, from the trade school education and 13 or so years of part time hands on experience, I will have the knowledge and ability to build some fantastic rifles, and then work on the business part of it. I think it will also help that I won't be financially dependant upon income from my gunsmithing business, thus giving me some wiggle room to figure out how to do the more challenging side of professional gunsmithing (not to take away from the challenging and artistic labor that goes into smithing), the business side. Thanks for the heads up B&G and Harperc My gunsmith I go to went to the one in Southern Colorado, I will make sure and ask him about it as well. Thank you ShtrRdy. [/QUOTE]
