Hello, everyone!
My name is Ben, and I'm a native Houstonian. I've been around guns my entire life, in fact I got my first gun at only 5 years old!
I'd heard of the Liberal Gun Club a couple of times on the news but never really looked it up until I stumbled across the forum today. I'm excited to be here, it seems like a diverse and interesting group, and it's nice to be able to discuss guns and related subjects without being inundated with right wing noise.
Anyway, I am looking forward to learning and having discussions with everyone and I wish you all the best

3Ahoy, Ben. I got my first gun when I was eight. I'm in northern California where your almonds come from. Welcome. We have quite a few Texans here, even some from Houston. See? Sikacz posted as I was posting.

Re: Howdy from Houston, TX
8I've been to Waller a couple of times. I like to get feed for my deer feeders out there at Waller Rice Drier.
My wife has some family living out there also, but we don't get to see them much.
It's a nice town

11That's a great area. I lived in Montrose/ Museum District for many years. I loved it over there
Re: Howdy from Houston, TX
12Thanks, Cooper, and sig230, I'm glad to be here.
Coop, I've typed and deleted about ten different remarks about the Pack, but since I'm here to make friends, I'll just say sorry and I hope it gets better lol. One of my best friends is from Wisconsin, you can bet I've been giving him a hard time!

Re: Howdy from Houston, TX
13It's all good Besto -- fire away. I'm sort of immune, though, as I don't follow sports much. I had to look just now, and the Pack is 3-6, ouch.
Green Bay thought they had a team for a while there. Turns out they just had a quarterback.
If you need help understanding your bud from WI, I'd recommend "Manitowoc Minute." Lots of Wisconsin humor.

Re: Howdy from Houston, TX
14By the way, what do you like to shoot? I'm sort of fixated on my two revolvers right now -- a Blackhawk (357 mag) and a Super Redhawk (44 mag) and my lever guns. To complete the picture, I've also got a 1911 and a 410 pump action shotgun.

from up Kentucky way! As noted, pull up a stump and enjoy a cool beverage!Eventually I'll figure out this signature thing and decide what I want to put here.
Re: Howdy from Houston, TX
16Thanks BearPaws, I'll have one on you
I shoot a little of everything, but I really enjoy shooting rifles the best. I just ordered a 338 lapua from lone star over on longpoint (I hope that doesn't count as an endorsement or against the rules) and can't wait to shoot that bad mamma jamma. It's fun to get down with pistols as well though. Really any day at the range beats a day at work.
When it comes to pistols, I've really fallen in love with 1911s. I hope to add a matching pair in 10mm to my collection one day. I've got pistols in everything from 22lr to 45 acp, and I enjoy all of them.

18I guess I am late to the party.
Another Howdy from Houston. If you ever find yourself in the Spring Branch area, lets go shoot. I have a few rifles of varying calibers, but I'm not into anything over 100 yards. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I just can't overcome scope shadow. I can hold my own with most pistols. You mentioned 10mm, yeah, I'm a fan. I may not have a pair, but I have a couple a few 100mm pistols.

Re: Howdy from Houston, TX
21We like this area, been here since 1996, my wife worked for decades at the medical center. She’s retired and I’m semi-retired, LoL. I’ve been out of shooting action due to a shoulder injury and surgery. Hopefully we can get some of the local Texas crew together for a shoot meet, perhaps beginning of the year About all I’m cleared to shoot without hesitation is .22LR.besto wrote: Wed Nov 15, 2023 10:53 pmThat's a great area.
