Since I already posted a question, I thought posting an intro might be polite.

I've been happily married to my high school sweetheart for almost 19 years, in my late 30s, female, stay at home mom to 5 great kids ages 15 down to 1.

We've had a major life upheaval and just moved from acreage way out in the boonies to a little one acre lot in small town Texas. Living amongst humanity again has reminded me that not all people are good. So, if I can work taking the class around the needs of my still nursing youngest I'm going to get my CHL pronto. I was so young the first time I fired a gun I don't even remember (thanks Dad), they've been a normal part of my life always. My firearm usage has been pretty mundane. Out in the country, if something was threatening the animals and couldn't be driven off I dispatched it to meet its maker. I never liked shooting our shotgun, a .22 often wouldn't cut it so my Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum has been my go to critter getter. And for those of you laughing at the overkill factor, I did too until coming face to face with a startled irritated wild pig. Then I was darn thankful for single shot take down power. I just bought a little Ruger SP101 .357 magnum with a shrouded hammer, can't wait to be able to carry it concealed!!
