... in the dark closet in the back of my house...Here on the left coast.

Hello all, i'm happy to read about the "free world" out there. I love to shoot, and I'm leaning strongly toward a retirement ELSEWHERE where my wife and I can enjoy an open piece of dirt, and the smell of burnt powder.
Til then I gotta be content with my duck hunts on public refuges, and target shooting in dim-lit back rooms(until Fienstien and Boxer find 'em)
I've got a S&W 19 ... and a Glock 23. both get plenty of exercise.
Its tax return time, so I may be reading your recomendations for new toys. Dave

Welcome from a state halfway across the country and a world apart politically..:wave:

If and when the rest of us raise enough money to fence that place off, I hope you are able to escape before the gates close..

Just kidding of course, a fence would be very expensive so your state will probably pony up the cash..:rofl:

Welcome, Wingman! :congrats:

Consider moving to Florida, the Gunshine State! If it makes it any easier, you can always pretend that our hurricanes are earthquakes.

I feel for you. I left Calif in 1975 and wound up in Missouri. It truly was a wonderful move. However I will be out visiting your state for a few days in the end of March and first of April. I still have family that has not seen the light and the Wife and I have to visit every year. Hang tough and welcome to our little corner of the INTERNET.
Mike

Thanks Guys...

For the welcome.

This looks like a friendly knowlegable gang-OOPS----GROUP.:nono: (gotta clarify that round here)

I hope I didnt sound TOO negative, I do enjoy the outdoors with the family. I have recently started to target shoot alot more than I ever have (handguns) and its getting addicting.

I've got close relatives in law enforcement, and have MUCH respect and thanks for what a lot of you guys do for all of us. I'm looking forward to anything i can learn on the forum. Dave

Welcome!
Colorado is good. But don't tell anyone I said that, or they would throw me out. Some Coloradans think there are too many Califonia transplants here already. I don't know, I'm an east coast transplant.
