      I admit my prejudice, that was my first thought. I blame watching too many western films in childhood for that. And some contemporary YouTube videos. :)

          The folks there appear to be a very pro-gun group of folks - it seems like a good number of people brings guns to work (leaving them in their cars of course). The work looks real interesting, too. :)

                      just out of curiosity, how are you leaving your guns in your cars? aren't you worried about it getting stolen? here's it's a crime to leave your gun in a non secure environment (which is why mine is in a secure location at home when i'm not shooting it)

                            Probably Nevada or Montana if I were to guess. I know the state I am in is pretty gun friendly. The problem is convincing the girlfriend to let me drop $5k for a 0.50 rifle.

                                  Then you'd be surprised at how often it's NOT the case. As I've already stated, Texas ain't the most gun-friendly state in the union...

                                    Probably Nevada or Montana if I were to guess. I know the state I am in is pretty gun friendly. The problem is convincing the girlfriend to let me drop $5k for a 0.50 rifle.

                                    What you are aiming for, Barret? In New Jersey you need a gun permit for a slingshot (no joke – it’s a law).

                                      I am actually looking at the Barrett M98B 338 Lapua. But when I recently picked up my 12ga, the store had a Bushmaster 50 there for the same price. Here I need a permit for supressors and automatics. Getting a permit involves getting the county Sheriff's approval (which involves a few checks into your background) and paying your $200 lisence fee for each item. CCW is a seperate permit that isn't nearly as hard to get.

                                        because all it takes is 20 seconds to break into one (unless your windows are shatter proof)

                                          Texas isn't even the most gun-friendly state.
