    Hello, long time lurker, first time poster!

    Bounced around the US a lot due to work, hopefully, Texas is the last stop because I'm not sure I can do another cross-country move. I didn't get into firearms until my mid-20s, but now, the importance of the RTKBA has played a huge factor in deciding where I want to live and raise a family. Some quick facts:

    • Currently, most of my collection is "practical," but in the past I did collect milsurps because of historical interest and living in a ban state locked me out of all the cool stuff anyway. Sadly, moving around has forced me to downsize and I'm down to just a pre-Pearl Harbor Garand now.
    • I have attended about 6 Appleseed shoots (and only qualified Rifleman once) and would like to get into more competitive shooting
    • I have not hunted before, but would like to give it a shot someday
    • I was a part owner of a gun shop in the Seattle area, someday I think I'd like to try it again as a kitchen table FFL
    • Buying a handgun in a WalMart parking lot is on my Texas bucketlist. I've lived mostly in blue states where this wasn't legal and I just want to be able to say that I did.
    Looking forward to getting to know my fellow TGTers! If you'll excuse me, I'm headed straight to the Classifieds section.

    Niiiiiice...you're gonna bring that to some of the meet-and-shoots, right?

    Nah, do it in a Buc-Ee's parking lot for that pure Texas flavor.


    Welcome aboard, man. Enjoy.

    Howdy and welcome to Texas and to TGT.

    What shop in the Seattle area?

    2nd Amendment Industries in Bellevue. If you were MSFT or AMZN, we may have run into each other. Personally, I'm not in tech, but 90% of our customers were.

    Thank you, appreciate it.

    Spent my time up there off 145th and Aurora, and 160th and Aurora, Shoreline.

    I visited a number of shops in the area, Seattle, Edmonds, etc.
