I've been lurking here for several months, reading all the great info and deciding that getting a CHL was for sure something I wanted to do.

Age: 31
Gender: Male
Profession status: Software Engineer
Marital status: married
Years CHL: 0 - mailed the application today
Carry guns/equipment: I have an XD9 Service model... don't know if I'll be carrying that, though.

I'm very new to guns in general - just started shooting in January. It will probably be a while after I get my license that I start carrying.

The main reason I decided to go ahead and get the license now, rather than wait until the day I'm ready to carry is so I don't have to worry about the technicalities of transporting my gun (was I traveling?, was I on a direct route between home & gun range?). Plus, I like the idea of having a "Good Guy Card".
