I've been a member of this site for a few years - I'm one of those "not born in Texas, but got here as soon as I could" guys. I'm a software developer and data analyst to pay the bills and moved to the Dallas area last June after years of trying to convince my work to move me here from Illinois. While Illinois did finally pass conceal carry, I knew I was going to move to TX eventually, so didn't bother with the process there. I'm now waiting on my plastic to come - hopefully sometime in the next couple weeks.
In Illinois I was active in IDPA, MM in SSP/ESP, but I haven't shot a competition in almost two years. I have a three year old at home, so that takes a lot of hobby time and money. I'm looking to get back into competition soon - possibly uspsa. I'm also going to be venturing into some rimfire matches as well.
My main guys...
-MP 40 Pro Core, with pretty much everything Apex'd out with an RM07 on top.
-Shield 9mm
-22/45 Lite
They all shoot better than I can.
