Anyone around Belton TX?

You guys are hilarious! Don't worry about me bringing any libtard attitude with me. I'm an Eastern Washington guy and about as conservative as they come. All my family is in Texas (brother in LaPorte, one sis in Georgetown and another in DFW area and a couple nephews and nieces in the Woodlands). We were down in Belton/Temple last December looking at houses and property and really like the area around the South side of the lake it's more out in the country which is what we want. Will definitely stay out of Temple and Killeen. Been wanting to move to Texas for a long time and this state is fast going the way of Califuckedup. Oh, and TxLabRat, I can handle the isotope thing, I used to work at the Hanford nuclear reservation building reactor fuel cores so I'm immune;)

OK then you passed the written test for entry. PM me when you're going to visit your brother in LaPorte. I'm only a couple miles away and always have cold beer in the fridge. (Cheap beer but it's cold)
 
Live in Austin. Quite a few ranges around. But Best of The West is really the only long distance range. Lots of good club matches if your willing to drive.
More importantly I know where all the good breweries are.
 
get ready to pay shit tons of property taxes, take stupid assed gun classes, see every other vehicle on the road is a cop, normally good cops but still you have to pay their salary with these high ass taxes and frikken fees. Buyer beware here in Texas. Good food and decent peeps though.

You are right about the property taxes being sky high & getting worse.
I have to go in later this month for my now yearly tax protest hearing.
But it's not "Public Safety" that you pay for with the high taxes, it's the XXX!!XXX school districts.
I'm looking at $600 to the city compared to $3200 to the XX!!XXX school district.
 
I am paying about 14 k property tax on a 500k house, 3 times more than I paid in Fla 4 years ago, schools equally shitty. Texas is near bottom for tax and freedom index in the USA, the repubs ere are all former democrats except Ted Cruz.
 
Yeah, I know about the property taxes but we have pretty high ones here in WA, also 10% sales tax, and the second highest gas tax in the country. About the only good thing is, like TX we have no income tax....yet. What are the gun classes you speak of?

Somebody has to pay for the massive highschool football stadiums that are bigger than some college's stadiums.

Guess I'll stay right here. I thought 4K on 350K was high.
 
the gun class are a 10 hour class you have to take, then you have to go get printed and pictured then wait 8 weeks, the class costs 100 and the picture and prints are about 20 or 30 bucks, the half day off from work is a pain in the ass, the state fees here rival NY state.

If your talking CHL the prices came down. And the state will discount it for vets.

If your looking for long gun matches check out txprecisionrifles.com There's a few IDPA and 3 gun matches in the Belton, Temple area. Check out capital area practical shooters.
