I didn't originate from Texas either, but was born and raised in the socialist state of Massachusetts. I was raised in a small town and was allowed hunt in the fall and winter season. I had a stevens 410/ .22 as my weapons. I also had a small range in my backyard. When I left in 1988, I had a pistol permit which allowed me to carry a hand gun, I was also required to have an FID card for long weapons.

Funny thing was I was allowed to carry a handgun in Mass, but there was no mechanism for me to legally carry in Texas. Buying and selling guns was less hassle in Texas, and there was more range availibilty than in Mass. I never voted for a Democrat for major office. I never met anyone who admit that they voted for Teddy Kennedy. (I'm sure some did but they were too embarrassed to admit it.

Politics have moved drastically in both states since 1988, I could never move back.
