    Default Florida transplant living in Greeley.

    Hello to all!

    I moved to scenic Greeley, CO from north Florida a couple months ago. I imagine this is as popular with native Coloradoans as it was for me when the carpetbaggers moved to my state. However, as your newest carpetbagger, I promise not to insist that everything be run here like it was in Florida. (Our gun laws are great, but keep us the hell away from your property taxes.)

    Anyways, I am a very non-tactical middle age guy with a great appreciation for firearms and the folks who use them. I'm a proud veteran of the US Navy, and a father of a one year old future shooter. I look forward to making shooting friends on this site, and exploring everything that Colorado has to offer.

    Thanks!

    JohnnyEgo

    Welcome to the high country. You may notice there's less oxygen in the air here (but there's also a lot less water in it, so its a wash).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    It is taking a while for me to acclimitize, for certain. I can't figure out if it is altitude or allergies, but my sinuses have been killing me for a couple weeks now.

    Everything has it's trade-offs:
    I've traded high humidity for low oxygen levels;
    Alligators for bears and moose(s?);
    Pythons and water moccasins for rattle snakes;
    Heavy traffic for longer commuting distances;
    Little old ladies in large cars for...well, that one is pretty much the same.

    All in all, I am excited to be here and hope I won't be going anywhere for quite a while.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
