    I think it's just the new englanders are feeling burned coupled with the fact that many of them are outspoken dbags.

    Most of them have never been to Texas and are basing Texans on Dallas reruns and Walker Texas Ranger. I bet they're a bit scared is all. :)

    This New Englander has lived here for 10 years and, while I'm not an outspoken dbag, I know one when I see one. ^^^^^

    I lived up there long enough to be branded as one - then moved. Took nearly ten years to lose the accent and cast off the moniker.

    Now that I've been in Texas for over 10 years, when people hear it, they raise an eyebrow and ask if I like guns.

    Hell yeah.

    .22 Beretta for plinking - stays loaded and within reach in my home office all the time. Some people say a .22 won't stop a bad guy, but ten rounds of .22 will. Or if that doesn't work, it'll buy time to get the Beretta .40 S&W out of the safe.

    The .357 Smith and Wesson revolver that's also in the safe is the fall back in case all the high tech semi auto stuff doesn't work.

    If anyone every breaks in to my house and threatens my family, it'll be the only time they ever do it. :)

    Hah! Just out of curiosity, what models? I also have a Beretta .22 and .40 among others...

    The .22 is a U22 Neos

    and the .40 is a full size PX4 Storm

    The .40 is a kick ass hand gun. Fully composite and the barrel rotates to dump recoil energy, so it's pretty nice to keep on target. Much easier than a .45, at any rate and you can shoot it all day.

    The .357 is no fun to shoot. Last time I put 50 rounds through it, my hand was blistered and bruised.

    I have a 1956 model 948 (.22 auto) and a 96D Centurion .40S&W. I was about to buy a PX4 in .40 but the friend selling it dropped off the radar

    How much will the United States Grand Prix cost Texan taxpayers?
