Hey All, I found this forum this morning while searching on TX gun laws.
I'm 50 years old, and recently went through some mid-life problems. In January I lost my mom due to cancer. At the time I was going through a divorce from a 21 year marriage. In June I was diagnosed with a similar cancer that my mom passed from, and so I chose to be treated at MD Anderson, and to facilitate that I bought a house in the Fort Worth area and dove immediately into treatment. I finished treatment in September and moved into my new house, and began the recuperation phase. That's been a very difficult road, and there was a lot of rough days and nights that I'm happy to say I got through with a much stronger faith and positive outlook that I gained in going through all of this.
Anyhow, I'm a long time shooter. I was an avid shooter in CA, and lived there all my life. Due to the politics, gun laws, traffic, high prices, and everything else, I was looking for just about any reason to get out of CA - and when I got my cancer diagnosis it was clear that TX was the place to go - it was on my short list already along with ID and NC, but MD Anderson being in Houston cinched the deal. I found a wonderful house in Haslet and bought it immediately, and have been very happy with it.
Other hobbies include Amateur radio and amateur radio contesting, fast cars, espresso and coffee and coffee roasting, metal detecting, fly fishing, and most geek things. I work in high tech.
Please don't hate me because I'm from CA - I promise I'm not like most of the CA types - I respect TX completely for what TX stands for, and am a very faithful person, law abiding, and very supportive of individual rights, religious freedom, and all the other things that are starkly NOT CA "benefits".
I really like the area I'm in, and am looking forward to learning more about local gun/sportsman clubs, training, and community service in ways I can give back a bit...
Thanks for making this community - I'm looking forward to reading, learning and getting to know folks here...
