Aloha,

As I have mentioned, we are a few months away from moving to Hill Country in Texas.

I have researched the crime stats of the counties we are interested in moving to.

Very low and only in the town/cities. None in the outskirts.

Doesn't mean it can't happen.

The Wife is a gun gal, she has guns and know how to use each one.

The discussion we had about living in the country on acreage large enough to have our own shooting range means we will be on our own for personal safety.

Wife wants Guns, Lots of them well hidden in the house. That made me rethink that the Smiths I bough for $300 years age are now worth a lot more. So now I'm going to get guns we won't miss if involved in a shooting and the police take them as evidence. Rossi, Taurus and Glock came to mind.

So, after moving, one thing we will be doing is scouring gun shows for "house" guns.

When out & about on the property, you can bet that we will have a handgun and long gun in the UTV. Also in the UTV will be at least one or more Cattle dogs(ours love to go riding).

BTW, the Wife wants a New Presentation Thompson with 50 round drum.
Sad that we can't afford a full auto Real Tommy gun.

She knows anything worth shooting once is worth shooting several more times.
