Thank you for the last 22 years!

I started the remat457 firearms blog in 2011. It was a few years earlier actually but that's when I registered my domain. In the early days it was just a free "Blogger" site. It then moved to WordPress on a free webhost. That then moved to GoDaddy and finally to Joomla on Fatcow.

Since then it evolved into a WA State pro-2A site (although the climate here is increasingly hostile to law abiding firearms owners) and the site then became more focused on firearms instructors. In particular, the firearms instructors discount info was very popular.

I used to go to SHOT Show trying to hand out business cards when industry people looked at me quizically and asked "What the hell is a blog?" while trying to talk that same rep into offering instructors a discount.

It has been recommended that I move into videos - and that is not something I am interested in. Additionally, my webhost will not update MySQL to the last decade so my software which cannot update will eventually break. Finding a new host and reinstalling everything is not something that I want to do (again).

I will still remain active locally (because WA is going full potato) and I may return with something simple and scaled down, particularly for the instructor discounts should they come back to fruition. COVID really changed my perspectives, especially the lockdowns. I hope to focus on family, enjoying fine spirits and travel.

In the interim feel free to contact me if you need anything.

 The fortreg.com domain expires in June 2023, but the site will likely remain up here at mathusz.com.
