Apply for your Texas CHL when you get there. Then when you go in to buy a gun, you flash your CHL at the proprietor. TX CHL means No NICS check! Put your money on the table, grab your new gun and walk out. (No waiting periods in TX either or per month limits). Like I said, take me with you. I need to get back.

Also be aware that even if you don't get your CHL, the NICS takes a whopping 2 minutes. Last time I purchased a gun in Texas I was in and out(with gun in hand) in less than 5 minutes with background check.

All I needed to do was fill out the Federal Form and show my DL.

A suggestion - you might want to document what you own (firearms, magazines, and who knows what else) and the date you leave California.

If, hypothetically, there is some future ban of things you own now, and there is a grandfather clause that allows previously California-owned items to come back, this step might be useful if you ever move back.

I know, it is all very doubtful, but it couldn't hurt. Heck, you might want to do it anyway for insurance purposes.

P.S. - For example, I'm pretty sure the California magazine ban has an exemption for previously owned magazines to come back.

I went to HS in Flower Mound (Marcus). I really liked the area, but it's much more developed now than when I left. The heat is rough, but you get used to it, and everything is air conditioned anyway.

We moved to FM in 1986 & back to the Peoples' Republic in 2000; youngest son graduated from Marcus; at that time it was a White House Blue Ribbon school, for whatever that's worth. We were on Lloyd Court, a short block up College Parkway toward Lewisville from where College crosses Morriss Road...
Other than weather, TX is a fantastic place to live.
