Why do they move? Liberals ruin their states. how do they vote in the new state? The same way they did that ruined that state. People are ******* morons. Hell look at VA now NC and GA are in immediate crosshairs. TEXAS must not fall.

It's crazy-stupid to try and ****-up another state, AND make it worse like the one you left...
because you Eff-IT up too, and this seems cyclical...
They want total control, like most communists, that call themselves socialists.
They want to "fix" (screw up) something that isn't broken... but THAT is how they roll...
I SWEAR the lefty CHUNTS are the BORG...
Hopefully, with all the influx of people fleeing "ignorant-law states", the majority come to Texas with knowledge of actual history of what went wrong (voting lefty, and gooberment-screwups)...
Then again, most ignorant people are too incompetent to even do their flippin' jobs...
and know/learn the ABSOLUTE bare-minimum...
AKA NEW-MATH-pushers...

We don't really censor on this board, at least not much. We're all adults here. But, y'know, there comes a point when you throw out enough profanities that your point starts to get lost. After all, the c-word is a huge turn-off for many folks and using it generally causes people to ignore you. You might want to consider dialing your rhetoric back a bit.
But, hey, you do you.
I moved to Texas from Maryland in 2019. Trust me, not everyone in MD is antigun. Baltimore City and DC is heavily Democrat and liberal, but most of the state is not. But they’re outweighed by those heavily-populated areas.
It’s a shame but that’s the way it is.
Needless to say, as an Endowment NRA member, I applied and received my TLC as soon as I could. And outshot every one when qualifying.
No problem with people who come and assimilate. Respect our gun laws and our right to be free and independent. Just not the douchebags mentioned in the article.
Yeah, you have to type it with a British accent.
Let’s feed them Alka Seltzer.
I went to a ballgame last week with two such folks, I discovered. Wouldn’t have joined them had I known earlier. That’s a deal breaker. Lay with dogs…gonna get fleas.

I know we can't stop people moving from other states to Texas, and even a few end up joining here at TGT. But one thing that really hacks me off is they move from another state, to "escape" gun restrictions, politics or for other reasons, and then start to complain about how things are in Texas, or how certain things were better in the state that the came from.
Many of them starting with such comments as, "Well, Texas is pretty great, but........."
IMO, Texas is the perfect state to live in for many reasons. If there was one thing I could change about Texas, it would to be move the nancy-pants lefties out!

I'll bet the steamed crab is pretty great in Maryland.
Also, might learn a bit more about crawfish.
Every state - even the shitty lefty states - have pros and cons to living in them. In the turd-world coastal states, the pros are generally the landscape and topography or weather.
The further west you go, the more the individual states and federal government own more and more lands. IIRC, Nevada is something like 85 or 90% of the land is owned by the FedGov. Cali, Oregon, and Washington are also very high (60-80%, I think) owned by either the states or fedgov per the constitutions of those states at incorporation.
When someone is coming from the west and is used to the vast amount of land open to the public, and they come here to Texas where the inverse is true, and 90%+ of the land is privately held it takes some adjustment, but that also has its ups and downs.
One of the things we took advantage of was having state forest land so close to us - 45 minute drive and there was an outdoor range owned by the state, built in a coopration between a non-profit organization run by and for gun owners / shooters whose two primary goals were keeping the forests / ranges clean (a never ending, thankless task thanks to the assholes who would drag old TV's, washing machines, and household garbage out to shoot at, then leave it behind) AND working with the agencies who owned/managed the land to build new, safe shooting ranges on that land. We had free to use public ranges where you could shoot close to 1,000 yards.
The downside? EVERYONE and their brother flocked to them on holidays / weekends, and most of those people were slobs - and that behavior threatened the use of the lands to those of us who were responsible and tried to keep it clean and open.
A lot of the state and federal lands that were open to target shooting when I was younger have been closed because of the littering assholes, or the unsafe assholes who would shoot across public roads, shoot up signs, and otherwise vandalize the area. Then there were the dudes who would take tannerite out and blow up trees. They love their trees on the left coast, and its actually illegal to use trees there as target stands or back stops, so you can imagine how that goes when the forest rangers come across blown up or shot to hell trees.
Here in Texas with so little public land, and even less of that land open to target shooting - you don't have mountains of TV's, appliances, or house hold trash being drug out, shot up, and left behind (along with piles and piles of brass / steel cases, plastic shot shell hulls and the accompanying cheep beer cans)
Private land owners with enough land to shoot on care far more for their land and anyone lucky enough to be allowed to shoot on them will soon find that permission revoked if they trash another man's land. It proves the addage that something gotten for free is not valued the same as something you work or pay for.
Even in Calipornia you can go into most of the woods and target shoot (or could). That is one of those few "pros" and the "cons" of those places easily outweigh them.
You know a pro of living in Texas? Because most people can't / don't own places with enough land to legally and safely shoot on, there are a boat load more gun ranges to shoot at. The county in which I used to live had only three indoor gun ranges, and a handful of outdoor ranges open to the public. We were one of the more conservative counties in the Portland metro area, but they made it hard as hell to get approved to build a gun range.
The indoor ranges there were more expensive to shoot at too. We haven't sampled many ranges being here, but Saddle River over in Magnolia is a beauitful range that put to shame my old go-to indoor range as far as size, the quality of the range itself, and the price to use the facility as well as hours of operation. It costs roughly 2/3 to rent a lane there, as it did the range I used to go to and its a much nicer facility. The other place also made you buy their ammo, instead of allowing outside ammo like Saddle River does - saving you a pile of cash there too.
And if you make friends with a land owner here with sufficient property - you get the benefit of exclusivity, you don't have randos bopping up and flagging everyone, or trying to force you off the range.
My wife and I once visited a public shooting spot in the coast range in Oregon. We had barely begun pulling our gear out of my Jeep, stacking it on the rocks that serve as the firing line when some cousin-fucking uncle-daddy having jerk pulls up, jumps out of his truck and starts blasting - without talking to us or giving us warning, or seeing if we had ear pro in (we didn't). He was shooting at *my* targets. He got back in his shitbox S10 and sped off when I pulled my AR out of the back (never pointed it at him, but as soon as that gun came out, he got the notion to GTFO in a hurry) - that kind of shit won't likely happen here in Texas.
Do I miss having public ranges available, and vast amounts of public lands to camp / fish/ hunt on? Sure. But not so much that I would wish Texas flip how things are here. Texas is better in so many more ways, the lack of public land is a non-issue, and Texas didn't have those requirements in its Constitution or treaty at the time she joined the union, unlike states like Nevada, Oregon, California, etc.
AS @Hoji says - those of us NOT from Texas originally are refugees, not missionaries!
