We need more people from San Antonio

[Texan2]

Maybe if you put a Spanish speaking section you would get more. Its always fun going into major stores and being greeted, "Hola! ¿Como estas?"

Not sure how he intended this...but he lives in Bexar County so he would know...
but it did come across as somewhat condescending....

Yes he did. But I got over it. I just felt that I needed to say something. I'm surprise nobody said anything before. I guess I'm the only one(Hispanic) that got my feathers ruffle.

How many members are from/live in San Antonio on this forum anyways?

Only 5 months after you posted that question..but Im here too now. I just joined the site last night. Recently moved back from California, like the website alot and will help promote.

Hi y'all. I'm in SA. I also shoot at the Bullet hole on a regular basis. Did my CHL there. Just sent my packet in and counting the days since 11/12. Lately, the Bullet hole has been so crowded that it's hard to get in unless it's during the week.

Would you still make fun if they said Bonjour ! Comment allez-vous ?

Jens is from Iceland, and yes, he would.

 

[ST5MF]

The best way to attract San Antonians is with Beer, Food, and Music...

Guns... Shooting... Not so much.

 

[stockFD3S]

stockFD3S,Why is it always fun? I don't see nothing funny. Granted we live in the United States and We are Americans,why do you choose to make fun of a foreign language? Would you still make fun if they said Bonjour ! Comment allez-vous ?

Yes I would because the specific language does not matter. English wasn't my first language nor was I born here. My family that immigrated here learned to speak it (some with Icelandic or Italian accents) as they wanted to become Americans. None of us expected anyone here to accommodate us nor did we expect to turn the US into our countries of origin. We came to this country as it is one of the only ones like it where you can become something from nothing. I respect those who make an effort to learn the language and want to be Americans as I am now.

Icelandic/Italian at birth, proud American now.

[Wyattearp]

San Antonio - preSENT!

Okey dokey, one more for the count. I just found out about you looking for info on mounting a scope on my 03-A3.

 

[1troubleshooter]

Well you can add 1 more from S.A. to rolls soooooo..
where's the beer, music ,and food

 

[reprahkered]

Mail me some cards and I could get them out, I am constantly poking around at gun stores and ranges

 

[M. Sage]

One more here. Hopefully I can get settled in and get the word out ASAP.

Personally, I think San Antonio is underrepresented on this forum because, despite it's location deep in the heart of Texas, San Antonio is actually a very liberal-minded city in general. For example, the larger percentage of votes in Bexar county during the last presidential election went to you-know-who. A sad state of affairs, really.

 

[BlackRifleTexas]

You are correct pvtsnowball82

I live within Bexar County aka San Antonio... and would agree. Not too many of us here, conservative minded that is. Will be moving my family to Kendall County permanently.

I'm from the Alamo City.

I'm new to the forum

When I go to the Bullethole in SA, it is usually overcrowded with gun enthusiasts. especially on the weekends. I meet lots of conservatives in San Antonio, but that is usually at WORK. Don't know what the LIBS all do for a living, but I usually see those folks at the grocery store. so... there is hope.

Unfortunately, I'm moving to Houston. To find the conservative base in SA, you will find them at the Rodeo, gun shows, church, and at WORK.

I heard on the news in Houston that there is a proposal to "number every bullet" making ammo too expensive to buy. Ob*ma is SCARY.

<G>

/me wonders how long it'll take him ta figger out who ah am....

 

[TexasRedneck]

Oh - yeah, I'm a "metro" type too, I guess - live in New Braunfels. Grew up in Leon Valley - it used to be a real nice town, but they've let some strange folks in there now... Live in New Braunfels now - San Antonio is a neat city, but as others noted, VERY liberal - and I just couldn't stand it any more.

 

[M. Sage]

Wow. San Antonio really isn't that liberal. Then again, I've only been here for two weeks...

There aren't tons of European cars. Quite a few, yeah (and I work on 'em), but they don't make up a majority of cars on the road.

I've seen a few O stickers on cars, but nowhere near as many as McCain stickers.

Folks have gun bumper stickers on their cars. Lots of Browning Buckmarks, and I saw a truck with a "Got Sig?" sticker on it.

You want unbearably left? Try San Francisco... SA isn't bad.

 

[Rhino]

SA here as well. Been here over 20 years. Don't think we're overrun yet, but there does seem to be a trend of lots of folks who are from out of state here now - and a lot of them seem to bring their out of state ideas as well (not all, though!).
