I love this forum. I've been lurking for a while but figured I'd briefly come out of the woodwork and introduce myself.
I am a refugee from Southern Kalifornia and have been loving it here in TX for the last 6 years. I hope you all won't hold where I come from against me. I'm not here to change things, but to fit in
Given my state of origin, I never was around firearms the majority of my life unless you count plinking as a kid with .22s in Boy Scouts. Shotrtly after I settled in here, my co-workers and friends helped reveal my repressed love of firearms rather quickly. I bought my first shotgun. Then my first AR-15. Then my first pistol. And well, you get the idea...
I am 37, married, no kids yet. Pets are 5 parakeets, 1 umbrella cockatoo, and a German Shepherd (hence the name). I work as an Enterprise Systems Analyst for a well known Texas based international computer company.
I've had my CHL since 2011. I normally carry a Desert Eagle 1911 so when people ask me what I carry I can say, "A Desert Eagle." Then I sit back and enjoy their reaction before telling them, "No, not THAT one, just a good old 1911." When it's too hot or I can't otherwise dress for the .45, I will carry an SR9c or Ruger LCP.
Though to digress a little, I think the Desert Eagle .50s are great for home defense... if you're being attacked by a house.
...or for that matter, if the Death Star shows up.
