gunslinger308 0 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Lots of baggin' on Abilene! This town is good for families. And ... um... red dirt...and....it is growing. I do good at a large car dealership's bodyshop. I live close to family, and family land. I am trying to buy some land in Hamby to hunt and live on... still real close to Abilene. I lived in Wyoming for one year for tech school, I have visited about twenty other states, and I figure Texas is as good as it gets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley_Guy 2 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I grew up in upstate New York. Beautiful forrests, rolling hills, lakes with no dams. I moved to Texas in the '70s. Never looked back. There's something about Texas' 'can-do' attitude and big horizons that gets into the blood. I visit and appreciate other places, but I always come home.

Smiley_Guy 2 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hey, Rusty. I'm over in Arlington. Have you found any public place near town that's safe for plinking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) None that I've found. I've got a friend out in the boonies that'll let me kill coke cans and CDs when he's got the time. I'll have to look around and find a range or something. Might be interesting to meet up and kill some paper... Edited January 23, 2005 by Rusty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jsf Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I envey you guys living in Texas, You wouldn't believe the guns law here in the PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF NEW JERSEY. $30.00 for permits & 4 months later I finally got a handgun permit to BUY a pistol at my local gun shop, Plus I had to be finger printed & have a mental health backround check at my expense and if I want another handgun I have to go through this all over again. Needless to say after living here all my life I' had enough. Put the house up for sale and moving to Arizona. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 a side note on the new jersey comments. DID YOU KNOW---it is a class B felony PER ROUND for any handgun hollow point ammunition? yes, if you go to a match, come home, forget you have a stick of hollow points, and get caught somehow, that is TEN COUNTS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) BVAMP...you are saying that it is ILLEGAL to have ( as an example) 9MM hollowpoints in NJ??!?!?!?!?! HOW can that be???? there are MANY carbine rifles that are chambered for 9MM, as well as other rounds that can just as easily be swapped up.... or do you mean CAUGHT with it *IN* the pistol? I dont get it..... Edited January 24, 2005 by IndyArms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley_Guy 2 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Thanks Bigfoot. Man, we're just one big happy Texas family! Those of you that haven't made it here yet, git movin'! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jsf Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 gunslinger: private sell are still legal as long as the person you sell to has a NJ firearms purchaser's card, which you have to apply for and can take up to a year to get and you must be finger printed, this just to sell a long arm, handguns get more involved;NO selling at NJ gunshows, even for dealers,gun purchases must be transfered at place of buisness so you can look but not buy ay NJ gunshow. We only have ONE show and that's what the state interpertation is of a gunshow, SHOW ONLY. All you out there do not think this can't happen in your state, the democratic liberal's will never give up untill all guns are gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jsf Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 It's not illegal to possess hollow point ammo in NJ, You can purchase it, keep it in your home or buisness and even defend yourself with it in those places and you can legally take it to a shooting range, but you better be able to prove your on your way to the shooting range. After that your are in possession of hollow point ammo for an illegal purpose. FELONY!!! Plus allmost all law inforcement officers have no ideal of what the law is and think it's illegal to possess and most likely you will be arrested. Wonderful place to exist.

gunslinger308 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Are there any Military base shooting ranges open to the public or to visitors of military friends? Dyess Airforce base in Abilene used to let the public in if they had a military friend invite them, but they changed the range to frangible and lead free bullets only.
