Displaced Texan

Now that you’re in Fl, do you carry daily? We have constitutional carry here. I don’t carry ever day, as I don’t feel the need to in the ‘bubble’ (community of mostly well off retired people! Lol). I do carry frequently when outside the community. Especially if I head towards Austin. It takes some getting used to. Not just having a concealed handgun in a holster on your body, but the feeling that it’s OK to do so! I’m still at the stage of being self conscious about it, but it’s getting less so, the more I’m around here. CHL for us does the same as FL, eliminates the background check. I want it for that. Not that I NEED to buy more firearms…(blasphemy!!).

Texas ain’t much different. The first time I walked into an Academy Sports, and saw TONS of guns and ammo (and the ammo was out openly so you could get it yourself…no clerk required). Rifles and shotguns were in racks where you could openly handle them too. Handguns, of course, were locked in a case, but it’s no problem to have a clerk hand one to you. Because I lived in Nj for 21 years, I almost felt like I was doing something WRONG when I handled them in the shop, with no ‘supervision’. It was kind of a surreal feeling. I guess living in the northeast, you get browbeaten that firearms are verboten, and those who own them are criminals. Texas is VERY different in that respect. Talk about firearms, and what you own, where you shoot/hunt like is very common, like it was people talking about what kind of golf clubs you have and what course you play. Now that I have my Texas DL…next step is CHL.

I have a bunch of the Binax test kits at home. I’ll have to check where they are made

Maybe positive, maybe negative. A coin flip is probably more accurate.

Love Charleston. Be sure to go to the Tattooed Moose and have the duck club. OMG it’s awesome!

Mag release only on one side. Not sure what Gen that makes them.

Offhand I don’t know, and I’m traveling for work at the moment. I can get a better pic when I get back Friday afternoon, if you can bear with me.

Lol. My wife STILL hasn’t pumped her own gas. That was part of the deal. Lol

Eastern Tn was our second choice. Beautiful area. My wife is a Jersey girl too, and her family still lives there. Yet, here we are.

Too bad. Fauci should actually be in prison.

Does the devil you know beat the one you don’t?

Bump. 3 Glock 22 mags left.

No one should eat there. Ever.

You are thinking of Kohls.

Years ago, when we bought the NJ house, we had HD remodel the kitchen. I didn’t have much $$ at the time, and they had a pretty solid deal on what we wanted, and installation to boot. I figured the same thing, if their installer screwed it up, we would have recourse with HD. Hahahahaha! What a nightmare. The installer DID install cabinets and countertop. But they never finished the job per the contract I signed with HD. I fought with them for 2 months, trying to get my kitchen finished, but they refused. Told me they would sue me over the balance. I would have been more than happy to pay them, had they finished the job they were contracted to do. Eventually the store manager refused to talk to me, so I kicked it up to HD corporate. Even they wouldn’t get involved. I had just started talking to an attorney about suing them, when I received a letter from HD saying if I don’t sue them, they will ‘forgive’ the remaining balance. Fair enough. I hired someone to finish the job, at a little less money than the remaining balance. Never again will I allow a big box store contractor into my home.

Me too. I’ve been looking for a used Tacoma to drive back/forth to the ranch. I don’t care if it has hand crank windows and zero options. Lol Even 10-15 year old vehicles with 200K/miles are outrageously expensive! I’ll hold off.

Trijicon is about $7K. AGN is about $4K Hogster is about $3K Im comfortable spending $4K, but I can’t do $7K.

This is what my buddy has. https://www.agmglobalvision.com/thermal-imaging/thermal-weapon-sights/agm-rattler-ts35-640?filter=1 He told me his group has ATN, Pulsars, Hogsters, and a few different models of the AGN’s. Out of all of them they like the AGN’s and Hogsters the best. I want to get my hands on all of them before making a final decision.

This one also comes HIGHLY recommended from the guys at work. https://www.agmglobalvision.com/thermal-imaging/thermal-weapon-sights&filter=1 My buddy is arranging for me to have a look through several different brands owned by his group of predator hunter friends.

Yeah, but they won’t end it. Just like they won’t vote for term limiting themselves. And how they always vote themselves a raise.
