Hey guys, just found this board the other day. Have been reading every chance I get, very informative site here.

I've had my plastic now for about a week, so I'm really new at carry.

Had my first wally walk last Sunday and I just thought I paid attention to my surroundings prior to my license. As someone told me on another board, I've seen first hand the "sheeple" of the world. Thanks Lumberjack for that exact description of what I saw.

Now about me, I'm 43 years old, married for 24 years next week & my daughter is grown & moved out! I manage a sand & gravel mining operation. Wife is a student & was in the Navy many years ago so she knows her way around a .45! We both enjoy shooting holes in paper at Shooters Station in Conroe. My wife hasn't taken her test yet due to surgery she had in December of last year but she is ready now.

Ditto for me. Although I've been a shooter since the age of 6, this forum is an excellent resource for CHL newbs.
