hey everyone, my name is jared, im 19, and i live in houston. i attend the university of houston, i am a criminal justice major, and next spring i plan on transfering to sam houston state university. i would like to get into the FBI or some other agency, i am very passionate about law enforcement and helping and serving others. ive been lurkin the site for awhile now, and will post here and there. ive been around firearms since i could walk and talk. for my age, i like to think i know quite a bit about firearms and other tactics, but know that i also have much to learn, and look foward to learning on the site. i hope to make some new friends, and learn how to become a better and more educated shooter.

Welcome.

I am up in the Woodlands area. Drop me a PM and maybe we can shoot together sometime.

There is a group of Houston area guys who shoot ARs and meet for dinner and drinks every month. You can find them on TOS in the Texas forum.

I shoot at Carter's off Treaschwig since it's close (20 minutes) to where I live. Unfortuantely, the longest rifle range they have is 100 yards now that a new subdivision was built behind the range.

How is ASC now? In the past I had heard that they were not found of black rifles and some of the range officers were real jerks.

My home range is ASC. I've never had a problem shooting my ARs there. Then again I don't wear a hat backwards with a flat brim and shoot with flip flops. The RO's are jerks for a reason. Safety. I welcome that. I don't trust anyone around me. Either I'll say something or they'll catch it before I do.

Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear that ASC is not like they were portrayed on TOS. I only went there a few times to shoot trap and skeet about 8 years ago. I liked the facilities at ASC but the distance from home caused me to look for a closer facility.

I would love to join Bayou Rifles but they are even farther away.

You've come to the right place to learn. It is a great idea to spend some time here and read before you spend your hard earned money.

Business Admin. Was going the finance route, but lost complete faith in it after Hurricane Ike and the economic collapse that most of us on the gulf coast were in the dark about. When my profs started making significant adjustments to their notes mid-semester, it threw up a red flag
