Hello everyone,

I've been reading the discussions here for months, but this is my first post. This forum convinced me that "reasonable" people carry, and that a getting a CHL and carrying a firearm was a reasonable thing for me to do. I grew up with guns and I enjoy shooting at the range, but the idea of concealing a handgun on a daily basis was not something that immediately made sense to me. The birth of my daughter (first child) several months ago really changed my outlook. The way I see it, if there's a 1 in a 1,000, or even a 1 in a 1,000,000 chance that carrying will help me protect her then the CHL learning curve is well worth every bit of hassle and expense.

My license is now in the mail... now I just need to decide what/how to carry. I think I'm going to start with an LCP in in one of those "wallet" holsters.

Thanks to everyone who makes this forum so informative and entertaining.
