Hi all,
I recently took a job in Austin and will be moving to Texas in a month.
Yes I'm from California, but don't worry, I'm one of the Pro-2A guys who is escaping from the socialist republic of CommieFornia. I'm part of the CalGuns community, CRPA, NRA-ILA, and have made regular donations (with little positive effect on my 2A rights unfortunately).
I made the decision to move last year after visiting a gun store in Dallas. The store was called Riflegear, and I actually found out about it because RifleGear has a location in Southern California where I used to purchase many firearms. I went into the store and was amazed. It was huge, posh, and had basically all of my dream guns that are practically banned for purchase in California due to the "safe gun roster".
I looked at two of my dream guns, a HK VP9 Match, and a HK SP5. When the guy brought the guns out of the case, I was in awe, handling the guns, hearing the slide rack back. He said, "If you have your Texas DL, and a credit card, I can have you out of here in 10 minutes." Hearing that, I almost cried. No 10-day "cooling off" period. No handgun purchasing limit. Just pure unadulterated Pro-2A FREEEEEDOM!
But alas, it was not to be, I hesitantly told him I was just visiting Texas for a wedding and I just wanted to see the guns since they aren't available in California. He looked at me, kinda smiled, and said, "Well, time to move to Texas now, right?"
And I agreed with him, whole heartedly. I started my job search in November 2021, and I got a job offer a week ago to a great organization which offered me a great position in the city.
I'm still a month away from living in REAL AMERICA, but I just wanted to introduce myself, and remember, even in places like CommieFornia, there are some serious Pro-2A people who have had their rights stripped away and want to get them back badly. Appreciate what you have Texans, NEVER ever let the progressive left take an inch, because if you do, they will take a mile. Look at California as an example where Pro-2A patriots are treated like criminals and 2nd class citizens. We aren't even able to purchase Gen 4 Glocks (Canadian citizens can purchase one with zero issues). That's how bad it's gotten in CommieFornia.
