Two parts to this thread really.
Here in Sacramento, our humidity is usually just under 20% I have never had a gun rust or much of anything rust that was not under water or something.
It stil looks like we are going to move to hopefully either TX or FL (TN is a distant 3rd choice).
The one thing I really worry about is the humidity. My wife REALLY hates humidity - she says it will wreck her hair and makeup and she will not want to go anywhere.
I also worry about caring for my guns. I will probably have my Valtro hard chromed - that should help, and my revolvers should be SS and alloy - but how much more rust prone are things in those parts of the country?
Are you guys just used to it or does it bother you in the dead of summer? More importantly, how do your women handle it?
We get 110 degree temps here sometimes, but as they say say "it's a dry heat".
I am really interested to hear if the humidity affects your firearms, what you do about it and if anyone has move to those areas from a less humid place, what their experience was like. (especially your wives experience).
Oh - we are looking at Jacksonville, Dalas/FW and maybe Austin...
