Who is the "Gray Man"?
Gray Rinehart writes science fiction, fantasy, assorted nonfiction, and the odd song. Or odd songs.
He is also the "Anti-Candidate," available as a write-in vote for any elective office, anywhere.
The "Gray Man" is a ghost, and Gray's alter ego. Check out The Legend of the Gray Man to find out more about the original "GrayMan" of Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

The Anti-Candidate's Position on GUNS
We like firearms.
We own several, though we don't fire them nearly as often as we'd like. We've considered going through the training and certification to get a concealed-carry license.
We like the Second Amendment (in fact, we like the whole Bill of Rights). We like that the Second Amendment recognizes that "a well-regulated militia" is necessary for "the security of a free state." We don't think it's necessary to establish a separate bureaucracy to ensure the "well-regulated" part, but we're in favor of all the training people can get to be competent and careful with their firearms.
And we're confident that, even without any formal militia structure, the nation's gun-owners are predominantly the type of people to be first on the scene to help their neighbors in a fire, flood, or earthquake -- and therefore are likely to be the first on the scene to help defend an area should the need arise. We feel more secure around people who like guns, and know how to use them well and safely, than almost anywhere else.
