Howdy Yall,
I am from southeast texas in Brazoria County right on the Gulf of Mexico. This is where Texas began (lot's of history). The Texas Mason's first meeting was here under the Masonic Oak in Brazoria. Lot's of industry, mainly Chemical companies. I work just across the Intercoastal Waterway from an old Confederate fort called Fort Velasco. The Union Army took it over and there is still some very large gun turrets in the sand dunes there. A German submarine came up into the Freeport harbor during WWII. Like I said lot's of history.
We have gun friendly politicians and, for the most part, SE Texas is a great place to live. It does get a little hot, humid, and has mosquitos. As a matter of fact, The Great Texas Mosquito Festival is held here.
Our local gun club, Greenwood GC, has a very active membership, and our USPSA matches are a blast.
Thanks for having me.

Larry

Welcome, Larry.

Can your Texas 'skeeters stand flat-footed and strike fear in the heart of a 20 pound turkey?   ;D

They're not too bad here in south Georgia this year.....yet......so far we can still keep 'em under control with the scatter-guns and have not had to break out the high-powered rifles yet.

Just to put Texas in perspective....It's Hot and Humid in Hell, but they don't have mosquitoes there  ;D ;D ;D

Glad you made it here. 

Take care.

Thanks for the welcome.
Wow, I never thought of that about hell... but I'd be willing to bet that mosquitos are one of the first things that will greet the new members there. ;)

Oor skeeters may not be as big as the ones in GA (My parents used to live in Vidalia) but one of my young operator's out at the plant was last seen being carried off by a cloud of em... :o

I am another from Ohio where we grow the construction barrels.  I have lived with in 40 miles of Canton except for 2 years my dad took a job on the other side of the state, 4 Years in Wisconsin in the service and 2 years Budapest Hungary for work.

I can tell you one good thing about Ohio but I don't want to live anywhere else.  I actually like the Winters as the snow turns the dreary death into a beautiful landscape.  Snow makes everything look clean and new, as long as not too many pople have been there.  The summers can be opressive but we are used to that.  There are lakes to fish and state parks to hunt and a traffic jam is when you don't make the light until the second turn.  There are till people who do not lock there doors and kids can play in the street.

I thought I had hit this subject a long time ago myself.  Evidently not.

Central Missouri here.  Born in KC and got away from there as soon as I could enlist.

Now on my own piece of land and am damned glad I got it when I did.

BTW I too have my own shooting range.  And deer.  And Turkeys.  And quail.  And rabbits.  And squirrels.

Well you get the idea.
