Greetings.

I am an about to retire lawyer and investment manager who has lived in San Diego since I was ordered here as a brand new Navy officer in the middle of the Viet Nam war.

I'm a native Texan and UT alum who grew up in the hill country and am planning to move back there in a year perhaps, after I get our businesses closed up here. Health issues are forcing me to retire, whether I want to or not. I've been looking at properties in the area between San Antonio and Austin, out towards Canyon Lake perhaps. We'll see what is available as the time approaches.

Despite the somewhat peculiar gun laws in California, I have had a carry permit here, and will obtain one as soon as I become a resident of Texas again. I own now a Sig 226 Navy, a Ruger GP100, an H&K P7M8 and a 45C, plus the usual Ruger rimfire plinkers and a shotty or two. I also have some California legal so-called evil black rifles that I am looking forward to restoring to "full functionality." I have participated in IDPA and bullseye matches here, although the ravages of old age and decrepitude may keep me from going at it in the future.

I look forward to living in a free state again, and learning and participating here as opportunity permits.
