Curley Fryes Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yahoooo!!!! Moving out of the Chicago area and down to Tampa, FL. Finally after 59 yrs of crappy weather. No more snow storms, no more driving to work in the dark with 8 inches of snow on the road and still coming down!!! no more 6 months of Winter. Won't have to get my license plates from former Governors! I'll take hurricane season over a Chicago winter anytime!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Congratulations. I actually prefer Colorado winters over Hurticanes, but that's jest me. If I had to move back to la Florida though, I'd prefer the Gulf coast. Less crazy than the Atlantic side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hurricanes only last for a day or two. Chicago winters last for 3 months. Welcome to the South, where we shoot 12 months a year. Oh, I almost forgot. You can mail order your ammo and throw away that FOID card....whatever that is. Your in the South now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't mind the winters...it's the crappy politics and anti-gun atmosphere in Illinois that I was glad to move away from when I lived there. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pot SASS#55659 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Welcome! The Tampa Bay area is a great place to live work and play. Good cowboy shooting, good fishing, good baseball team, good hockey team, maybe a football team and mostly great weather. Come out and play with us.

St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Howdy: I lived in Bartlett for over 30 years. I left for Missouri, warmer, little or no snow, some icy days, good folks. The only thingss I miss from Chicago are, Portillo's Hot Dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, and Gonnella Bread (it'sa Swella). Have a long and happy life away from anti-gun nut cakes, crooked politicians and bad weather. STL Suomi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well Curley, you are moving to a hot bed of CAS shooting. You won't meet any finer folks/matches anywhere else. Below is a list of Florida clubs along with maps. Don't know where in Tampa you'll be but most of the clubs are within an 1 - 2 hr drive. Typical Travel times; Antelope Junction Rangers - 1/4 to 1/2 hr. Miakka Misfits, Doodle Hill, Hernando - 3/4 to 1 hr Weewahootie, Lake Co. - 1.5 - 2 hr Welcome to Florida. Look forward to shooting with ya at one of the venues.
