Re: Were you one of the first?

Yes...

I remember mostly ALL the paperwork, forms, affidavits a note from my mother stating that someone must have blown out my pilot light...

Having to list ALL the places I lived at for the last 5 years...I was still in apartment mode at the time...

It was cumbersome, designed to discourage, and at the end of day, getting ALL that info together and sending the stuff to Austin of all places, there was still this annoying little voice in my head saying "Why do YOU need to carry a gun!"

I am glad that since then the process has been streamlined, to some extent, and that the information they need, even for the new folks, has been reduced to a manageble level...

The one thing we can ALL be proud of is that this community of law-abiding citizens has a better track record for not having criminal issues attributeed by us, than regular commissioned law enforcement in this state...

And we need to shout that fact from the rooftops every chance we get in any argument with those that still ask, "Why do YOU need to carry a gun!"
