Looking at the Ruger SR1911 - while it's (still) legal here in CT.
Would also welcome knowledgable/experienced FReeper input on relocation options for those able to leave Connecticut.
Preferably somewhere warmer, but not sweltering, family/tax/gun friendly, with some elbow room to enjoy life. Overseas is not off the table.
Well heck, y'all come on down then. South of Austin and west of San Antonio are good area's.
We still got fahr aintz though.
I usually check out the posting history of most n00bs. There are some old FReepers that got the zot for supporting gay marriage and other liberal agendas.
Did they post some?
See now zotted freeper Willie Green and his mass transit agenda.
Well, you obviously shot your mouth off before checking DTogo's posting history or profile page. He's as solid a conservative as you're liable to find around here.
Louisiana would probably be too dang hot and muggy for us. And don’t you swat a mosquito with a 2x4 down there? ;^)
What about the Bowie area?
Willie Green! Everything was always tied back to riding trains, right?
You bet, Togo.
Many conservatives have liberal ideas, but they’re rarely the biggies like abortion, homosexual marriage, or gun control. They’re more likely zoning and business regulations, building and permitting regulations, health and safety regulations. Reasonable things like that.
What they don’t understand is those are the camel’s nose. Once government can decide a whole slew of things for your health and safety and do so by force then you’re a liberal.
When does something good need to be forced on someone? When they’re a child, a criminal or insane. If you’re not any of those, then you just need the information, free will and consequences to manage your life.
Liberalism is insidious and often invisible in its creep. I don’t think any insult was intended, but sometimes the truth hurts.
I know DTogo's posting history and never intended to say he is a liberal or has a liberal posting history. I intended to say that anyone coming to Texas need to be conservative, since we already have enough libs here. We do not need Texas to ever turn blue again.
Texas is so big that it’s hard to know where to go. Where did you settle and why?
It goes without saying that we all feel that way, but we don't have to warn fellow conservatives to leave their liberal ideas back home. Tell that to the libs, not your fellow Freepers.
“If you want open space and low humidity, you need to pick some state west of the Rockies.”
No offense partner, apparently you ain’t never been to Texas. Or, at least the western half of the state. It’s semi-arid starting west of Fort Worth transitioning to arid as one drives toward El Paso. In fact the eastern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert starts about Midland, meaning there is still over 300 miles of desert to go before arriving at El Paso. There’s a lot more to Texas than than the Dallas and Houston airports :)
Well “pardner,” I’ve never considered West Texas to be part of the United States! There’s the US and there’s Texas! Isn’t that how y’all feel about things? I mean the rest of the country doesn’t boil a poisonous weed that grows alongside the highway and eat it, there are no Armadillos anywhere else, and the Tarantulas have to have license plates.
LOL! Well said :)
The vast majority of people moving to Texas are settling in what's being called the 'Texaplex', which is a triangular area defined by Dallas - Ft Worth, San Antonio, and Houston.
We chose the DFW area primarily because we had good friends here who convinced us to come down and have a look when we were considering the idea of relocating. We came, we saw, we loved it.
Pretty soon it’s going to be at the point where I-35, from the Oklahoma border all the way down to San Antonio is going to be populated....there used to be a lot of open areas, not anymore, the cities are blending more and more into each other.
True, but the population boom/band stretches about 30 miles to either side of 1-35. Go any further east or west and it thins out again to rural communities.
There's a similar population creep moving eastward along I-30 from Dallas.
