Re: Introduce yourself
Thanks Chas! Yes I do have some deep Texas roots.
I've also spent many years living in the lands of "not-Texas", and it just makes me appreciate my home state even more to be back "home" in Texas.
Don't take it for granted that we don't pay state income tax, nor do we pay personal property tax on our vehicles when we register them.

Re: Introduce yourself
WElcome MojoTexas. Glad to have you & I only have 4 generations here but have 2 more after me also.
Glad to have you & thankful for men like your GGG uncle to fight those battles. We now must stay in the fight w/ emails, hard copy, & street talk.
Sometimes I wonder which battle is the hardest.

chl- expired. Can't see paying for same lisence over and over again. When state only cares about the money, not how good you shoot or how you handle a firearm.

Re: Introduce yourself
Welcome stoney. Enjoy the posts. I do have a question.
I saw in another post where you said you took you CHL but didn't shoot? Unless I am mistaken, there has always been a requirement to take a practical shooting test and score 70% on it. If your instructor did not make you shoot, then your CHL instructor was NOT following guidelines IIRC. It is off topic here, but the General Texas CHL Discussion section would be a good place to post for discussion.

Been a hunter for many years with my dad, but after college stopped doing it. Have a 12ga, (2) .22's, .410, and my grand-dad's Winchester 94 .30-30. Still enjoy shooting them, just don't put the time in for meat. Always been a big believer in self-defense, so I finally moved myself to this level.
