Big Dutch

I say “again” because I introduced myself back in the summer of 2021 and then immediately went dark. Sorry about that. I’m back and hope to get more active in my various communities, both geographically and socially. I’m a long-time gun owner/shooter/hunter/outdoorsman, but now that I’m “retired” I’d like to get more active. I used to participate in High Power Rifle and would like to take that up again (I’ve still got most of my gear); if no such competition exists nearby I’d be happy to help get it going.

I've got a 44 and a 91. Bought them years ago at [I've forgotten where]. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever shot either of them.

I'll only bring Constitutional thinking with me. You'd be surprised to see how deep red the Central Valley can be.

Born and raised in the Central Valley, I've seen California transform from a paradise to a ####hole. The writing was on the wall over twenty years ago when I started to bug the Missus about getting out. She finally came around a couple of years ago and we decided to check out TN on the recommendation of the only friends we've got who hadn't already moved out. He's LE ready to git when his hitch is up in 2022; his Missus is already set up in Sumner County. We got ourselves a place in neighboring Macon. I now say "I'm a Tennessean with property in CA." Mrs. Dutch and I will be trickling over from hostile territory to our Tennessee home over the next 3 years. Really looking forward to making the move from the Soviet Socialist Republic of California to America permanent.
