New here.
39-year-old male.
Been shooting since I was about seven. Got my first gun, a .22 rifle, for my eighth birthday.
My first handgun was a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Shorty Forty. I bought it in my twenties when living in Garland.
A few years later I bought a Smith & Wesson Sigma SW40F. Both are in .40 S&W.
I lost the Shorty Forty to a pawnshop in Irving in the late nineties.
I went through one of the earliest CHL classes. Didn't actually send in the aplication for some time after that (a couple years, I think) because I was too broke to afford the fee.
My CHL has been expired since 2001. Again, mostly because I've been too broke to get it renewed. Planning to get it renewed within the next few months.
Just moved back to Texas a few months ago after three years in California.
Living in Denver City, TX while going to nursing school at New Mexico Junior College just across the line in Hobbs, NM.
Texas State Rifle Association Life Member.
Was in the National Rifle Association and a Charter Founder of the NRA Second Amendment Task Force, but need to get those renewed.
