So happy to be living free in Tennessee! I moved here in 2020 from Los Angeles, no hating please, there are a lot of good people in LA. Just have insane over lords ruling the roost. So glad to be able to exercise my second amendment right to carry a firearm for self defense without anything more than my God given right as stated in the US Constitution.

Welcome to Tennessee and our group!  You've made a great decision to come here.  Please tell the folks back in LA that you hate it here.

Welcome, Out of curiosity, where did they keep thos good LA peeps, I dont think I ran into many when I'd been down there   I came here form CA so I can bag on you and its not hate...its informed!

Enjoys your freedoms and remember to support the fight when it comes. I remember in 2016 / 2017 the Calgunners talked all kinds of smack before the last set of AW and anti-gun bills were voted in, but when it came time to get out from behind their keyboards for signatures they were a no show to oppose. That is when I bailed.  

You've already been here a year....did you find yourself spending more than you ever thought you would not being bound to the roster?

Well I think that Los Angeles and California in general has been the target of rigged elections for decades. The people I worked with and most of my friends voted against every bond issue in every election but they get passed any how. Taxes will break the back of a working man and that is what every bond issue is, a tax. One big problem is that corrupt unions run the show in LA. I worked over 25 years for Los Angeles MTA and still am a member of the ATU Union. Got great retirement benefits but the leadership are commie to the core. Very few of the mechanics and technicians support their politics. LACMTA has a budget of around 6 billion dollars a year and that buys a lot of political muscle.

Just got a RIA 1911 45ACP. Wow that is a real good shooter. I went to Bud's Range yesterday and put about 100 rounds through it. Really happy with the price and quality of Rock Island Armory.
