Hello to everyone taking the high road. This is my first thread and post.
The reason being is that I've lurked on your boards for about a week and have found some great threads with very insightful opinions and great facts and resources. I've lived in Dallas Texas for the past 16 years. I was Born in Chicago to two British Immigrants, so if you ever meet me, don't be surprised by my accent. Americans think I sound British, Brits think I sound American. I consider Dallas and Texas in general my home. I've just graduated from Penn State and by sheer luck am back in Dallas (better job market than most of the country it seems). I've been a gun enthusiast, like my parents, for quite some time, but haven't been in the true land of the free (Texas) while at the same time being old enough to purchase the firearms I'm interested in.
I'm looking to spend up to $1000 on a rifle and ammo that is good for home defense and fun for target shooting, and perhaps a little eccentric. The Mini 14, M1 Carbine, Kel-Tec SU-16 and a few others seem to be mentioned on this and other message boards regularly.
What do y'all think, what are your opinions?
Thanks for the Advice!
