Hi all, I'm going to be headed to the Tampa area next week for four days. I'll be bringing the GF with me, so unfortunately gun stuff will be minimal...
. But the purpose of the visit will be to see the area, with thoughts of a possible relocation. I have spent some time in Key Largo, Orlando, Jacksonville, Gainsville, and the east coast from Ft. Lauderdale to Daytona. I haven't seen a part of Florida that I didn't like. I was in Jacksonville for the Border Disorder match last fall.
What can you tell me about the area, and can you make suggestions for areas that I really ought to see that would help my decision? My job, when I'm done with school will be portable, and I'll be able to make a living virtually anywhere. (See sig line)
I grew up on the water, and would eventually like to locate in a small town within a half hour or so of the coast. Gun friendly is a requirement. I shoot IDPA and three gun so an area with good access to clubs would be idea.
I've been told by folks more knowledgable of the area than I am, that the pan handle wold be a good fit, so I will be checking that out another time.
I grew up in the midwest and if I never saw snow again, it wouldn't break my heart.
Anyway, thanks for any advice.
