LOL! I'm glad I didnt have that prof at SHSU.I'd have told him he was nuts! But,looking back I guess there are worse places to live than Corsicana...Huntsville being one of them lol.But I'm living on my parents 80acres out by the lake so I could easily call this "Gods country" ...its nice here.

I was in Huntsville and did shoot at Lion Star until I decided my marriage wasnt good.I moved here the middle of December.Now I'm back in my home town (Corsicana) getting a divorce, going to school and hopefully working at Gander Mtn.

on that note...does anyone know of a good range near Corsicana,TX?

At the time I was more concerned with actually getting the job first b/c I REALLY need one right now.So I'm happy just to get the job ...carry or no carry.Yeah it'll suck w/o being able to carry, but I just need a job.I'll take what I can get at this point b/c they're the only ones willing to work around my college hours right now.

Well dang it! Maybe the Corsicana store will be more lenient.But if the other stores in the chain dont get to carry I doubt I will either then.

I'm startinhg out as a cashier/customer service associate but if an opening comes available in guns I'm gonna go for it b/c the guys at this store dont know squat sometimes.Example:I asked one for .45GAP ammo once and they gave me .45ACP and then they looking at me quizzically and said "well whats the difference?" So I showed them the casing length difference and the different guns that they sold that are .45GAP and not .45ACP.Plus I hope I get put in guns so I can help all the women! B/c it seems like they kinda brush off the women back there in the gun dept.

Well I just left a job interview with Gander Mtn. and they sent me for a drug screening and said they'd call me for training on Monday if the drug test is clear (it will be).So I might get to carry at work (assuming I get the job which I think I will).Plus I'll get a 20% discount.
