Favorite Kind of Knives
auto opening & fixed blades..I love colorful, fancy knives and especially bowie knives that I can wear with my six gun rig....Stag handles are great, I just love so many and so much about them!
About Me
Disabled & retired at this point..started own business to help other disabled people.. One does not always need to be making "tons" of money to be successful. Decided to teach firearm safety & CCW classes. I also have a bachelor's in Business Management, a master's in Organizational Managment & have 3 classes & 1 dissertation paper to go for my doctorate in Management & Leadership.
Interests
I love to help people with their needs for completing paperwork for social security disability, insurance, etc. It makes me happy to know that I was able to help them solve a problm which was keeping him/her from obtaining his/her benefits, etc.. it does feel good to help people.

So, I started a consulting business to help people with paperwork and appeal letters and anything related. It's not paying the bills yet but hopefully I will be successful at it. I did find a big niche for the help I offer. I just need to be able to promote myself better.
Other Hobbies
Shooting, used to play drums & guitar in a band until disability stoppedm me..try to play guitar once in awhile. Love to play video games on the xbox - war games and shooting games especially.

    So, Jill- how about a Shot Show report? Sounds like a BiG blast!
  • Jill Klies

    O it was great!! So much to see, so much to do!!! I checked out my usual buddies: GunBroker.com, Cimarron, Glock, Springfield, NAA, Taurus, etc. Went over to have Gunny autograph the photo I took of us at the 2008 show and then took a new pick at this show. Springfield has a new XD coming out in a 3.8 barrel..that was my fav. Some of the new rifles that are coming out from Marlin are too good looking and of course the law enforcement/tactical section had rows of cool new stuff for your AR15 and such. the only bad thing about it is - you cannot buy anything...LOL..well some booths do sell some stuff but not the guns unless you are a dealer placing an order. Went to check out what new ammo is coming out...Corbon and Winchester both feel the "scramble" is over (for now at least) and the ammo shortage will start to slow and eventually disolve...the show is going to be here in Vegas for the next 5 years...I am so excited!!!

    from SHOT show..."Puma Knife Company A pair of industry veterans is breathing new life into the vennerable German knife maker. Look for the reintroduction of the Pathfinder, Game Warden and Deerhunter, as well as some new products in 2010."

    Another comment from SHOT show 2010: ["Buck Knives announced its “American
    Commitment.” Put simply, the company says it wanted to make as many knives as
    possible in its Post Falls, Idaho, plant. The idea was to greatly reduce offshore
    outsourcing, which, at its peak, totaled about half of all the manufacturer’s knives."]
