I also have a Marlin 30-30 and a 243 WSSM with scopes for medium and long-range varmint work. Wife and I go to a range in town and we have a range on the ranch as well. We both took Pistol 250 at Gunsite in April. I've lurked here for some time. My FIL kw5kw said I should sign up. So I did.

Hey! My son in law made it here...

Welcome Austin! Welcome!!!

and that 250 head is Buffalo not cattle!

I'll be 60 on 31 July.

Native Virginian with time spent in SF Bay area and Nevada...

Two tours SEA flying right seat with 23rd TASS FAC. We did make a difference.

Been coming to Texas regularly since 1979. Even before my son moved to Houston 8 years ago, I considered Texas, specifically Dallas my second home.

My son is smart. He married a Texas girl a couple years ago. He's a CAPT in the Texas National Guard.

Been carrying for just over 3 years. Y'all remember hearing about those guys, the Beltway Snipers? They came very close to Richmond where I live. Suddenly I felt naked... no way to fight back. The rest is history.

Hope I can contribute a little bit here.

Darn, Rob, I didn't know you're older than me!!!!

Welcome Russ,

This will make a couple of us here..

Welcome to the board, take care of that family!

Russ

Been here for a few days now, So, I thought I'd say: "Howdy" to everyone here.

First I'm a 53 year old white male who's been married for 34 1/2 years to the same wonderful lady. I've been a CHL holder for 4 years now and just went to my renewal class last month. Hopefully, my new piece of plastic will arrive before the old one expires... Yes, I put it off a bit longer than I should have.

I don't carry as often as I should--probably, but I think that will change now since I just bought me a new weapon: SA XD-9 Service. That makes the third in the house behind a .22 and a .32. 15 years ago I sold my 3-.22's, .357, 9mm, 22-250 and 30-30 after starting to believe some of the aniti's hype.

Just over 4 years ago, for personal reasons, I went and got my CHL so I could carry for personal protection for the wife and I. That immediate threat subscided, so I quit 'packin' on a daily basis.

My NEW son-in-law loves guns, and so does my oldest daughter, they have gotten me back into this hobby. (And I've gotten him into mine, i.e. Amateur Radio.) They own their own ranch, so shooting is something that we now do on a regular basis when we go to visit.

I very much believe in God, Family, Country; in that exact order, and while I'm not an ordained minister, I read and study the Bible more than anything else!

May God bless.
