1) LOL, my parents are almost to the point where they want to come and bail me out of jail (Yes, Im that boring)
2) I live in McKinney, and am eagerly awaiting august 12th opening of the Cheaper Than Dirt on 380 & 75 (yes, I joined the facebook group)

You can get a CHL in the next few months.

Join the Texas National Guard, go to Basic Training and AIT. Come home and serve one weekend and month and two weeks of Annual Training. There is the chance you may be called to active duty (then you can open carry). You can even have some of you college paid by the state.

Members of the Active Armed Forces, Reserves, and National Guard can get a CHL at 18. I believe that the cost of the CHL is waived.

(g) Notwithstanding Subsection (a)(2), a person who is at least 18
years of age but not yet 21 years of age is eligible for a license to carry
a concealed handgun if the person:
(1) is a member or veteran of the United States armed forces, including
a member or veteran of the reserves or national guard;
(2) was discharged under honorable conditions, if discharged
from the United States armed forces, reserves, or national guard; and
(3) meets the other eligibility requirements of Subsection (a) except
for the minimum age required by federal law to purchase a handgun.

Often, a gun that isn't that heavy in the hand, is really heavy after having it on your belt all day long.

This is probably true

This is very true, but the PCR model would be considerably lighter than the 75b due to size and the fact that the 75b frame is steel and the PCR frame is aluminum alloy.
