Glad I found the board actually. It is nice to find a place of like minded individuals who, from my perspective, seem very "normal" in an abnormal world.

Shooting can get expensive. I have three other guys that took the class with me that do not have firearms. They were wondering how each gun felt, pros/cons, etc. We thought the best way to help everyone was to take all of our guns to the range and send some metal down-range.

We shot a .22, .380 LCP, 38 special scandium revolver, 9mm Glock, 9mm Kahr MK9, 40 cal xd full frame, 45 Kimber full frame, and a 357 revolver.

I personally went through 600 or so rounds. Really fun 3 hours tho.

Hello all. I have wanted to get my CHL for years but life was busy. My wife gave me the present of a CHL class for Christmas, and now I am hopefully a week away from receiving my license.

I am 42, live in Pearland which is a suburb of Houston. I have been married for 12 years, have a 9 year old daughter, a 6 year old son, and a boy dog named buttercup (we did not name him, the name came with the dog).

The wife has a lady smith 38 special revolver (no chl yet), and I have a Kahr MK9 Elite 9mm with crimson trace laser grips as my carry. I have "oodles" of other firearms which mostly consist of shotguns and deer rifles. I go shoot clays at least once a month with my brother-in-law.

I go shooting at least once a month, so I really don't have an excuse as to why it took me so long to get my CHL, but I am here now, and once I get the license I intend to carry everyday.

Going through the licensing process has taught me that having a CHL is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. I had a great instructor (active duty Sherrif dept) and I am taking additional defensive and offensive handgun training courses so that I can be better prepared if I ever get into a bad situation. I hope I never need to, but having the option in todays world is a must.
