Well its now official. I am headed to Arizona at the end of the month.

If anyone is interested in some Pizza and Beer I am going to be throwing a little get together at my place June 30th in the afternoon.

Price of admission is carrying a few things down to the moving truck. All volunteers welcome. PM me for directions.

I am sure that I will be back at some point. Have to see how work goes and when you guys do a Hicksville day in the future.

Ya know, Houston is temperate compared to AZ. :-)

 

[GlockOwner]

Pros:
Arizona recognizes the Texas CHL
You will be hundreds of miles further from the garbage in the northeast than you are now

Cons:
You will be hundreds of miles closer to the garbage in that place on the west coast
You won't be in Texas

Good luck with everything! See you at the next Hicksville!

Well that's a good thing for your gun rights. At least you'll still be on the site. We'll miss ya, even though you always call me out for not dressing like a terrorist and associate me with the likes of AKmike lol.

 

[Elbe]

Sorry to see you leave but I hope everything goes well for you there.

 

[Stukaman]

And flinching on a known dry fire. So come on out and help me move. Pizza and beer after the truck is packed.

Thanks everybody.. I am going to miss Texas and all the cool folks that are here. Maybe I'll move back in the future never know. I am for sure going to try to get back for a Hicksville Shoot. Just not sure when.

AZ is hot, but not hot and humid, just hot. It wasnt bad the weekend I was there and it was already 100+ and it didnt feel as bad as the humid 85 that was going on here in Houston. Just have to keep something liquid around to combat the dryness.

The gun rights are better there, Open or Concealed carry once you cross the state line. But they have their quirks like anywhere else. Just a new set of rules to figure out. Good thing is the Company I work for is full of gun nuts so finding folks to go shooting with and getting the skinny on all the good places shouldn't be an issue. Just hope they have someplace like Hicksville, that is been the coolest range I have ever been too.

Good luck on the move and the new gig. Which part of AZ are you going to be in?

Check out, The Big Sandy Shoot it might be an almost replacement for hicksville. :-)

 

[Glockster69]

I've got to agree Radio, I've lived in or within 2hrs of Houston my whole life and I'm STILL not used to the humidity.

When I sold my business I moved to Scottsdale, lived there 6 yrs 6 mo and happiness was seeing AZ in my rear view mirror.

Pro's: Its Jan and 75, blue skies

DIVERSE terrain from Sonoran Desert to the 'High Country called the The Rim. They get snow and lots of it

Lots to see and do if you like the outdoors and open spaces away from the city, where you are mostly free to go and shoot as you see fit. Camp where you want, drive where you want.

Con's:

Its Liberal with guns and who like the outdoors

It Aug/Sep, blue skies, humidity is 4% and the street temps on asphalt are in the 130's, so are the temps out in the washes if you go in for off roading

Barrett Jackson Auction: Barrett-Jackson Auction Company - World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions (which is a GOOD THING!) is held on city property. It grown like a weed, so the city expanded the venue by buying a TENT for the auction, a BIG tent, it was used and cost $2.3M IIRC, painted on the top of the tent was the American Flag, 100 yds long ON TOP so you could see it from a plane. People went FRIGGING BESERK screaming the flag would "LOWER THEIR HOME VALUES" etc etc etc. Result was the city spent and additional $300,000 to PAINT OVER THE AMERICAN FLAG because it was OFFENSIVE!

MOST of the land in AZ is owned by the US GOVT, BLM





Sure Glad to be back home in Texas
