So, yup another new member, still waiting on my card (and checking the texas online link alot...lol). In the meantime I remembered about this forum so I decided to stop in look around and hopefully load up on useful info about carry choices, weapon selection, etc etc.

also my thanks to Charles Cotton for a great course that was fun and informative.

Welcome to the forum. You will learn a lot and get all kind of opinions. Let us know what you decide to carry and then you need to post us a picture.

Welcome aboard sir. You'll like it here, whether you are newish
to handgunnery, or more experienced. There's a wealth of folks
on the forum who have a variety of knowledge and stories.

Some of which are accurate and true! :-)

I will ask my standard question of all new members:
What gun(s) do you own, and what will you be carrying?

Or are you gunless at the moment and considering your 1st purchase?

SIA

thanks for the warm welcome!
for a little background, I'm not exactly new to guns in general in fact im a c&r liscensee, however I am new to the idea of carrying. my current plan for normal carry is my Springfield Armory XD(m) 40 cal. however since I normally carry a messenger back just about anything will work and Im currently considering something like a 1991 or xd in 45.

as far as what i own
jimmenez ja9
hipoint 9 and 45
springfield xd(m) 40

various mosin nagant rifles
olympic arms ar
ak
mossberg 500

Glad to have you along rebel8ball. It's a great forum and you'll find more information here and probably learn about things you hadn't even considered before.

i took it as a goof (if you look close its not loaded) but realized when i looked at the pic that a 45 is very good deterent, when youre looking at the bussiness end and it looks like a sewer pipe makes ya stop and really think about what youre doing....or at least it would make me! ;)
