Hello, I'm Joe, I am an MP in the Texas Army National guard. have been military for 12 years as of 2Nov11. Born in Texas (H-E-B area) Grew up in Tennessee. Joined the Army at 17, served in Iraq 2 times consecutively(invasion force), and Afghanistan 1 time, hoping to go back 1 more time. Moved back to Texas (2005), cause thats what Texans from Tennessee do(Davey Crockett, Sam Houston, you know the story). I come from a long line of Combat Veterans (Dad's side traces back to pre-Revolution), Mother was first American Born in her family (Greek, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ). Still a carry virgin (waiting on plastic). Live in McKinney (have had family here since 74). In my spare time i work and my work time involves a 73 Charger getting rebuilt. I excel at sleeping, drinking, and about anything else except being a sissy boy. I'm 29, Single and no court ordered children. Anyway, glad to meet ya'll and if you're ever in McKinney and need something to eat, go to my friends restaraunt, Big Tony's, and get some pizza.

Born and raised Texan, lived in D/FW all my life, Single White Male. Truck Driver by trade, Gun Nut by hobby , Gun Tinkerer by ADD, . NRA member, I am one of the Video Gamer Kid's the old timers warned you about. My beer is Shiner Boch, I'm a Texan first, American second. Certified Glock Armorer (but anyone with you tube can be.) I Frequent Great Southwest Gun in Grand Prairie, Most weekends, Hollar at me if you see the Red head cracking jokes, They call me Red (shocker I know). I have my own youtube channel Red Devil Firearms. It's brand new so content isn't there yet. But follow me and you won't be disappointed. If you see me with a camera I'm usually shooting something other than my gun. I've been called a genius by some and an idiot I'd like say that half of them are right.

I see this as a start of a beautiful friendship.

Engaged to a girl from DFW, she got me into this whole Texas thing. Now I listen to Texas Country, drink Shiner, and cheer for the Rangers. Can't wait to get my plastic, hopefully DPS is efficient this time of year!

I carry a Sig 238(Buffalo Bore ammo) and a Citadel 1911 Citadel officers model .45 (Glaser Safety Slugs)

I thought about getting a CHL for years but never bothered. It took an encounter with an alligator to finally convince me to do it. That brief moment where I felt that I had no way to survive changed my mind.
