Don't feel bad or the need to apologize. I have been shooting for many years. Like you, my experience with concealed carry is fairly new so my practical experience is limited. Please use this forum as an opportunity to learn and grow.aus10m wrote:Thanks for the input/advice.
a little about my past w/ guns.
I am totally comfortable with my firearms. I just hadn't taken the next step in getting my CHL until recently.
I have worked at a gun range in the sporting clays as a trapper, during my High School years and I used to sort used to sort reload-able hulls when the range was slow. I learned how to clean birds at the age of 11. I grew up in the desert of El Paso shooting all kinds of guns and some of my friends dads were military at Ft Bliss, so we had a wide range of guns to shoot. Gun handling/shooting/hunting I've been doing since 1990 (when I was 10 years old). So what I am getting to is, this type of experience isn't something lack.
My experience lacks when it comes to CHL in public, and what to do, and, when it's ok to do it. And, I realize that it's better to not use the weapon unless it's life threatening, so I guess this post was unnecessary.
I'm over it now. On to the next. Thanks for reading my little story and I'll try not to ask stupid questions in the future.
