It was early in the morning and she was startled at the loud conversation she heard being struck behind her. In essence she said that some guy was loudly exclaiming to his companion that it was "great to be legally packing heat now".
She said that she immediately thought of me, and I asked her not to compare me with that "caliber" of individual.

To me, that's a real quick indicater of maturity level. Guys like this either think they're bulletproof now or they have no idea of the potential target they're placeing on their backs. Like a 16 yr old kid who's been given a brand new Corvette, all you can do is hope they live long enough to learn how to respect the responsability they have just signed up for and also hope nobody else gets hurt in the mean time.

I haven't met a bone-head with a CHL yet, but I've certainly met bone-heads with guns. Have any of you guys seen an idiot with a CHL announce out loud that he was carrying, or brag about his plastic out loud. My circle of CHL friends are all wise enough to keep it in their pocket and keep their mouths shut in public, but I would love to hear some stories about those who aren't so wise.

Not so much with CHL folks but there is always that guy at he gunshop or the range who can't help but rant about how he'd handle anbody that crossed him wrong, typically with grisly details, at least as far as his limited vocab could afford. And sure enough that's usually the same bucket head that knows everything, better than everybody else, and is more than willing to make sure you and the rest of south Texas knows it by shouting it at the top of his lungs.
