I grew up in NE Texas. After graduating I moved to KS. Been here ever since. I really miss TX, I am retired now, not up to a major move. I worked 30 years as a peace officer. I live in the country and love it. I hear TX has grown so much, so welcome from the eastern part of Kansas. We currently have great carry laws here.
I hate the weather, but otherwise there are a lot worse places to live.
