Howdy from Austin

1
Howdy y'all,
Native Texan living in Austin here. I grew up shooting and hunting, and I'm comfortable with both. I've mostly shot long rifles and shotguns, but I've shot pistols at the range. I don't participate much at all anymore, but I want to get my LTC and feel comfortable with a handgun, just in case. I hope I never need it.

Like I mentioned in another post, I'm looking for places to buy ammo and accessories, as well as a range and place to get my LTC. I've read some good replies so far, so thank you very much.

John

Howdy! Just moved to PA in 2019 after 13 years in Austin. I miss my F&F there, and some of the culture as well (but not so much the extremes of weather).

Yeah, but I'll be back from time to time.

And hey, no more Cruz, Cornyn, Abbott, etc.!

The thing about Austin is that it's a blue dot in a sea of red. All the things people hate about Texas rednecks? You mostly won't find them in Austin. (Except at the capitol.)

Houston is more blue than red. The surrounding suburb areas are red.

Which is why the ReThugs did everything in their power to keep Houstonians from voting.

A. The pickup trucks and the beehive hairdos start getting bigger.
F350 dualies and phantom dualies with giant airfoils?

I needed a graphics card yesterday so did a Best Buy curbside run. Two pickups pulled in beside me and the hood of either of them was higher than my car.

Of course the drivers then got out and walked into the store since the curbside spaces were far closer than the general parking and the handicap spaces were full.

Let me guess: No masks either?
