Well, I've gone and done it now... Moved to Florida this past week to chase a bigger paycheck (substantially larger). I'll always be a Texan at heart. That, and I plan on moving back in a few years.  I haven't been super active in this forum, but regardless, it's been a pleasure!
On the bright side, I can buy many more toys with my new salary!

Traitor!?! I'd be offended if I wasn't so sad having left 20 years in Austin behind. 
Buy more guns I shall! And now I will be able to afford NFA toys (still have to check into the laws here in Orlando)! So which is it? Did you live in Texas, or Austin? 
ouch |

My pops moved from Texas to Florida 20 years ago to chase a split tail. He loved it out there. First he lived down south in Broward county and for the last 15 years he has lived up north in the St Augustine area. I got the old man back into shooting (the BRD is set real deep) and he discovered 5 ranges within 10 minutes of his damn house. You can not get that luck in the Dallas Ft Worth area so it looks like FL was kinder on the BRD than Ft Worth is to me.
Enjoy FL, enjoy your extra coin, don't forget to let all them southern yankees know you are from Texas but leave out the part about Austin. lol |

well fuck, good riddance then!!!!! Ouch.  Not that I wasn't expecting that sort of response anyways.  To each his own. Just means I ain't entering any chili making competitions.
Nothing wrong with Austin. Heck, LaRue's based around there (I used to live but 20 minutes away from them). That's got to count for something. And it's not like I'm the sort that walked around wearing skinny jeans and thick-framed glasses. Does it help my street cred any if I said that I spent a good bit of time while growing up in El Paso?
geegee, I'll see about them oranges, hehe. |

At least Florida also does not have a state income tax to eat away your new salary. Yeah. The no state income tax was a selling point for me. I'd gotten essentially the same offer in San Diego, but I had to say "no way". Most people didn't understand my reasoning on that. "But San Diego's so beautiful... You're not going because of your guns? Something's wrong with you"  So, I had to push the state income tax and cost of living arguments to get them to understand...
