Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is my first post on this forum, so I wanted to introduce myself properly. First, the particulars:
Age 47, Masters degree
Husband for 15 years, father for almost 13 years (son)
Worked as a teacher and school administrator for the last 16 years
Texas house district 61 (Phil King)
Carried with a CWFL for nearly 10 years in my home state of Florida. Moved here 6 weeks ago (wife is from west Texas). Been researching CHL classes/locations.
Usual carry gear:
*Kimber Ultra CDP II in a Crossbreed Supertuck or a custom Little Bear OWB (see avatar), or
*G27 w/Crimson Trace in a Don Hume belt slide.
I also use a SmartCarry for both of the above guns when I'm wearing surf shorts.
I was a member of the Patriot Guard Riders in NE Florida for a little less than 3 years and rode 20+ missions. Served in the U.S. Army from 1982-1987, spending 13 months attached to the 7th I.D. at Ft. Ord, CA, and 3 years at NATO HQ Europe (Heidelberg, FRG). Currently have a nephew in Afghanistan with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children (and I say that with the utmost respect).
I read a lot. My current genre of interest seems to be presidential memoirs, although I have shelves and shelves of books on a variety of subjects. I recently finished memoirs by Nixon, Reagan, and W.. Dick Cheney is probably next. I also collect historic newspapers (mostly 20th -century right now). It's too hot to do much riding right now, so my poor bike sits in the garage. What I need to do is go to the range; at least it's air-conditioned! I suppose I could take the bike to the range. Mmm, now there's a thought!
That's about it, I guess. My apologies for the lengthy introduction. See you on the boards.
One more thought before I sign off: to anyone out there who wears, has worn, or has a loved one who is wearing any of the uniforms of this country, Thank You for your service and your sacrifice.
