Hi!

New member here.

Welcome to the forum Dominion. Mighty fine gun ya got there.

Hi!

Got to Texas as fast as I could. Germany 1965 > Maryland > Virginia > Tennessee > Texas 1997!

45yo Male
Married to high school sweeheart, 1 son
Engineer
Received my CHL in '08.
To date I have convinced a co-worker and two friends from church to get their CHLs. Friends don't let friends be sheeple.

I alternate between a Feg PA-63, CZ-82 and a Bersa UC .45.
My wife prefers the HD shotgun.
Teaching my son to shoot.

I carry always, including around the house. The true test of comfort and gun retention is to perform car maintenance while carrying. Being this is Texas my garage door is up when working on my vehicles and I have had strangers approach while working on my car.

Only thing that beats that is crawling around underneath a lawn mower armed.

Hi!

53
Female
Chemical engineer by training, but I've been in environmental management for 25+ years
Married, two sons (one 23, one 16), no grandkids yet thank goodness
Don't have my CHL yet, took the class 8/7/10 (Thank You Charles, it was great!)
TSR House District 24
Carry guns - not sure yet, qualified with a Sig P250 in 9 mm but haven't decided for sure what to carry
Native Pennsylvanian, lived here longer than in PA but my heart's still in those wooded hills and clear streams

First picked up a gun last November, bought my first this past March (the Sig) - still have much to learn and looking for a family-friendly place to do so.

If you took Charles class you are probably way too far South. But, Angelina Rifle & Pistol club is very family & lady friendly.
North of Lufkin area on 69.

Welcome to the forum, Yankee Girl.

I'm having a mental disconnect. Texas House District 24 is in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, is it not?

Somewhat farther south, yes. I live across the street and down about a mile from PSC - were it not for crossing a 55 mph FM road, I'd walk to the range.

I don't think so, unless I've got my districts wrong. (I think) 24 is Galveston County, I live in the northern tip of the county.

OK. Thanks. You must be Texas State House of Representatives District 24, Larry Taylor. U.S. Congressional District 24 is in the DFW area.

Texas has its own beauty, but it doesn't have this:

It's this a picture of the Rio Grande, just outside of Brownsville?

[seamusTX]

They call it Brownsville because everything is brown.

Nothing that I have seen in this lifetime looks like the northeast U.S. or England in terms of lush growth and rich green.

But of course! Blue Bell's Homemade Vanilla usually, occasionally cinnamon when I go for home-made.

I have some pictures of Mount Nittany (central PA) that almost look CG, there are so many colors of green. I sure didn't appreciate it enough when I lived there.
