Returning after 17 years in Kommiefornia

[mgchrono]

Well, after close to 17 years, it looks like we are finally moving back to the Metroplex, and from California, so it goes without saying that we just can’t wait for this to happen!

Will be looking at houses in March, and hopefully will be getting our Texas credentials back by April!

We still have family and a few friends in and around Dallas, and have been visiting every so often. So much has changed since we lived there! Back in the early 2000’s, I used to have some class 3 toys and a lease with Mickey south of town. Is he still around? If not, I would be very interested in a similar situation this summer. Does anyone have any recommendations? We will probably end up in or around Keller. Of course as soon as my TX DL is in hand, I will be off to getting all my class 3 and otherwise non-California allowed gear re-purchased!

See Y’all soon!

Welcome back I also spent a good amount of time away from Texas and just returned in march of last year. Did miss Texas but I was living in states with good gun laws. Looks like you will be feeling like a kid in a candy store in a few months.

If you’re talking about Mickey who owned “Ammo Depot” in Mesquite and had the shooting range beside the Trinity river, he moved his shop to Caddo Mills. The old store is still there but it’s now “The Armory”.

Howdy.
Metroplex huh?

I guess your move from coommiefornia won't be too much of a shock if you are moving to the metroplex. Welcome back!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!

Yes! That was him! We used to throw oranges and grapefruits and whatnot into the river as moving targets as they floated away! I loved the simple rules there: something like (a.) don’t leave a mess, and (b.) don’t shoot each other or the trees! I hope the situation there is still the same these days? I will definitely look him up and see what the going rate is now these days for a key.

.......Class 3 prices have gone up a tad since 2000....

Heck no kidding! I had a registered receiver M-16. Bought for around $5k and sold for around $8k as I recall. I thought I did great. Not even funny what they go for now!

Yep, good times out there. Everyone was nice and a lot of them would offer to let you shoot their machine guns. I pissed everyone off once by throwing a smoke bomb/grenade thing into the river. The damn thing was made to float upright I guess and smoked the whole place out. Everyone was trying shoot it, a guy with an M16 finally took care of it.

LOL that was not me! I hope to get back there later in the year. Is the lease still available there do you know?

Not sure, I haven’t been there since 2000.
