New dude from Florida/Cali
Greetings everyone. Just want to introduce myself and give a brief background.
I moved to Florida a little over a year ago. I was at Fort Hood for several years while in the Army, and then was medically retired last year. I am born and raised a Socal beach person, and although I miss the Socal weather/beaches, I have zero desire to move back to that state for several reasons; reasons that I'm sure most of you on here know of.
I recently purchased a .40 Shield, and Bodyguard for my wife. I've only shot the Shield, and instantly felt comfortable. Neither my wife, nor myself have had the chance to practice with the BG, but that's only due to purchasing it yesterday.

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.
You might appreciate the warm ocean in FL. For a place like SoCal with year-round warm weather, it shocked me how dang cold the ocean there is.

Hello, and welcome from Boca in SOFL. I moved down from the sleet and snow. Left the kids up there.

You know, I live in St. Cloud so it's not like I'm right next to the beach anyhow. Call me crazy, but I love the humid climate. California is too dry for me!

Boca? Hmm, I had to google where that is. Looks pretty beachy! I'm still finding my way around, but my wife was born here 26 years ago. I started parenthood a bit later than some...I'll be 37 this year and I have a 4 year old & a 7 month old.

You must be like a kid in a candy store. Coming from Commiefornia, & now living in the Gunshine State. Time to buy an AK-47, or some other gun that's illegal on the west coast. Have fun. I'm in Palm Beach. GARY

Of course. As well as being able to drive my car without fear of being pulled over because my engine doesn't "sound" stock.

Well, first of all I took that damn bullet button off my AR and immediately purchased some 30 rd mags! Oh the spite ran deep within me.

And you guys may laugh at me when I say this, but since I got my concealed carry permit, I suddenly realized I could walk out of a store with a rifle/handgun roughly 30min after purchasing it....***!? Talk about kid in a candy store!!! Also, the wife trusts my judgement with regards to any measures to keep our family safe.

I lived next to Camp Pendleton for 20 years and never once thought I'd end up here.

Hey brother, wish I could. There's about a 2% chance I'd make it down that way.
