    Want to move to Texas

    San Marcos is nice but is getting full of college students. I would suggest a smaller town around there. Martindale, Lockhart are nice and are not a bad drive to anywhere on the I-35 corridor.

    Did your parents own a gun?

    Growing up my dad worked part time for the sheriffs office. I can remember the argument between my anti-gun mom and my dad when he told her he was going into the academy.

    Gift for a friend after surgery

    Social encounter...

    The range that I frequent actually has a rule stating you can't pick up any brass, unless you lay a sheet or a tarp down. I believe they use the proceeds to help maintain the range. I am fine with the policy but think that if you have a yearly membership you should be able to police your own...

    Your very first gun..

    My first gun was my father's car gun from when he was a sheriffs deputy. For some reason he bought a Ruger sp101 in 9mm. He gifted it to me and said it would make for a fine starter gun. It is not going to leave me until I have some off spring to gift it to.

    Whats the best investment you've made..

    An empty ammo can hands down is the best 6.50 I have spent in a long time. And it is stylish to boot.

    If you encountered someone Open Carrying...

    I have to second that. One of my favorite things to so is try to recognize firearms that I see. It's fun and educational!
