As a life-long Texan, this is a real issue. On one hand, I love that Texas respects private property rights. On the other, I wish there were places to explore.
I’ve never heard of that in Texas but I may be wrong. I feel like if I took my guns to go shoot on some public land I’d be seeing the game wardens/police pretty quickly.
This. When I moved to Texas for work I thought I was finally escaping my blue state's lack of range options. But if anything Texas is a huge step down. No public land to shoot on; a majority of the indoor ranges bans FMJs for whatever FUD reason; and drawing from holster are often not allowed. My previous state had Wildlife Management areas that had free outdoor sight-in ranges to 100 yards; no one gave a fuck about FMJs; and holster drawing are allowed once you demonstrate proficiency to the RSO. Boggles my mind how a gun-friendly red state can be backwards from there. Would also like to know if there are places people can go to shoot.
You probably don’t hear about it because there’s a far bigger gun ownership culture than there is a gun shooting culture here.
The closest is almost certainly in New Mexico
Texas hasn't been for decades. It's been Taxes for decades. Them Godless Communists have overtaken our Liberties and landscape.
So all those memes about Texas winning a civil war on its own is just nonsense when most gun owners in Texas just casually shoot in lanes lol

Lmao imagine being in a state that is so far right that everything has been privatized to the point of no public places, and then saying something like this... were they being sarcastic?
They likely meant Fudd, a term for gun owners who are interested only in hunting or shotgun sports, rather than other shooting related hobbies. They tend to prefer guns with wood furniture, usually bolt action rifles or double barrel shotguns. Think Elmer Fudd. Autocorrect probably got the best of them and corrected it to FUD.
FMJs are generally useful for feeding through the firearm more smoothly and are able to be fired at higher muzzle velocities. They're nice because you need to clean your gun less frequently, in theory. They're also cheaper than hollowpoint or softpoint rounds. There are about 4 reasons an indoor range might ban them, they are more likely to damage the backstop or berm because they don't spread out, like an HP or SP round would; they're more likely to ricochet; they may have a steel, bismuth, or tungsten core which increases the damage to the backstop and the likelihood of ricochet, and because they want to sell you more expensive hollowpoints. The main reasons are for reducing their costs and increasing their profits, ironically the exact type of capitalist shit Texan gunbros say they love.

As a boardgame guy, it's funny to see that gun people also have their "still in shrink wall of shame" dudes
"I'll fire them someday! I swear!"
picking up all these steam gundles on sale and leaving them in the backlog forever

communism is when I feel negative stimuli
that's literally the beginning and end of their thought process
Wow, sucks to suck, nerds who self-selected to inhabit that hellhole.
