I grew up in Northern Minnesota, retired out of the Navy and got a Government job in CA.. Not where I really wanted to be, but had to make a living. CA is actually a beautiful state, it's the politics and people that screw it up. I live in a conservative bastion, Riverside county. Had Aunts and Uncles from Richardson in TX. When we went to visit they always thought I talked funny.. Often I had trouble understanding them LOL. Not sure where but going back towards the Midwest again, where for the most part people are sane. Believe it or not, most of the "illegals" are actually very good folks, just looking to better their lives for the kids. Some are not.. Those need to go, I'm sure folks in Texas see the same thing. I am not "progressive" by any means, The borders and laws need to be enforced.

The actual out the door price after taxes (8 1/4%) DROS (registration fees) was $1739.. Yes one has to pay taxes on a used rifle that most likely one all ready paid taxes on..
