Texas10X wrote:Hello from Southeast Texas!
I grew up around guns and hunting, and my husband and I have been CHL holders since Texas started issuing them. While I found I like a lot of different kinds of guns, my favorite is my Henry .22 Lever Action rifle with a 3-9X40 Simmons Prohunter scope. I really enjoy shooting it (a.k.a. it's FUN!), and that makes a huge difference. My husband bought a couple of shooting trees for .22s) and we've had fun "competing" with them. I've also been able to apply the practical side of guns to dealing with snakes on our ranch, so that's come in handy.

My work doesn't allow guns on the premises, so I don't get to carry to/from work, which is disappointing since I have a long drive. For places and times when I can conceal carry, I have a carry purse - Model 33 from MyGunpurses.com - that works well. Initially, I carried a Bersa Thunder .380 in it and am now transitioning to a Ruger LCP with a Crimson Trace Laser Sight. I'm also starting to experiment with various on-the-body holsters, and have found I like a belly band, where the LCP just "disappears", as it does in a pocket holster. We both hope we never have to use our guns in self defense, but we will be prepared in case we do and are happy that we still have this freedom. My husband is an NRA life member and I've just recently joined. We're also both TSRA members. We like to do things together and are looking forward to retirement hopefully soon. Our interest in guns is just one more great way to enjoy time together!

PS - Ladies, I'm signed up for the NRA's 2nd Annual Women's Wilderness Escape in September... will I see you there???

Welcome to the forum, Texas10X, we are glad to have you with us. I have a Henry .22 Lever Action rifle, also, however I do not have a scope on it. It is definitely a lot of fun to shoot (and not as expensive as the other calibers). I gave my daughter a Kel-Tec .380 that she carries in her purse. I have an LCP with the Crimson Trace laser and love it. I use it as a pocket gun and for back up.

I don't know if you have noticed it yet, but we have a whole section for the ladies here that I am sure you will enjoy.

Hi, I have been around here for a couple of months, but just now ran across this. My name is George and I was born, raised and live in Abilene, TX. I am a 67 year old Male with a couple of years Bible college. No wife, but have two beautiful daughters, son-in-laws and 5 grand kids [4 boys and 1 girl -age range 8-15] (that's the fun part). I am a retired pastor (Chruch of God/Assembly of God), mainly due to health. I have had several back operations and a heart transplant.

I have just became a CHL TODAY! I just never found the time, or money to do it. I have always been a gun person and have always owned several. My dad taught me to hunt and fish and bought me my first shotgun (.410) when I was 10 yrs old. I have to make several trips a year from Abilene to Dallas Medical City Hospital and it usually means a couple of nights at a motel each time. I had an incident that took place a couple of years ago that woke me up to the fact that there is evil in this world and I was not physically able to defend myself or love ones > CHL!

I spent several years in the U.S.Navy and served aboard a Destroyer, USS Mansfield DD 728 and I was, of course, a Gunners Mate!

My carry equipment will consist of a Colt Officers Model .45 ACP, a S&W .38 Special -Chief snubby, and a Ruger LCP.

I am a member of the NRA, TSRA, and American Legion.

By the way, this is the first and only forum that I have ever participated in and that is because of the high caliber of real good and decent folks here that are willing to share and help us new people along. There is no filth, vulgar, offensive or disgusting talk or pictures. Thank you Charles
