When trying to think up a screen name I first thought of something to do
with the gun I carry, but that is very apt to change in the future, so I did
not want to choose a name that would be obsolete later.

People that know me would be flabbergasted to know that I have a CHL
and that I carry 24/7. I'm an easygoing live and let live guy, not
into sports or macho behavior. The only person in my social group that
knows I carry is a fellow CHL guy who happens to be the one who clued
me on how straightforward it is to get a Texas CHL.

People that might want to rob me would get a very unpleasant wakeup
call because I would draw my Taurus in a heartbeat to stop their evil-
doing.

So "Surprise_I'm_armed" is a rye reminder that friends, co-workers,
fellow church members, and gang members have no inkling that I'm packing heat.
It tickles me to no end that I was able to get my CHL.

Texas is "shall issue" state. This beats my home state, Massachusetts,
where there are way too many "anti's". It's always puzzling to me how the
state where farmers fought for independence with muskets against the
super power of its day, England, has become such pansies over the years
to demonize guns.

Isn't it ironic that some of the most 'anti' states, Mass and CT, are home to
Smith and Wesson, Kahr, and other firearms makers?
