Hi, guys. My name is Michael, I'm a retired Paramedic (due to a traumatic accident). Always looking for some kind of work that I can do. Married with a three y.o. girl. We live in the North Richland Hills area. I've recently been bitten by the NFA bug, two cans are in jail along with a Daniel Defense SBR. Carry rotation varies...

1. S&W VTAC in .40
2. Steyr M357A1
3. S&W M&Pc in .357 SIG
4. Glock 32

That's me in a nutshell!

Hello, everyone!

Here is some information about myself.

57
Male
Medical equipment service
Married, 1 daughter (RN). First Grandchild due in May!
No CHL yet. But soon! Looking forward to it as a matter of fact.

SIG P238, P64, CZ82 and soon a Hi-Point .380

I never really thought about a CHL until earlier this year when there was some gunfire across the street. No one was hurt thankfully. Wife and I both bought SIG P238's. Easier for her to rack the slide and I liked the way it feels.

Married
Christian
Work in a manufacturing environment.
Live in a rural setting, so my gun range is just out the back door.

And my on-line name being BeeKeith, I keep bees. Soooooo, if you see me running, try to keep up! "rlol"
Recent purchase intended for carry. Citadel "1911" compact 45. Tucker's Gunleather "Answer" is on the way. Strongly considering a Sig238 for the pocket.

Good Morning,

Recently relocated to El Paso via TN and Va.
Married with 2ea. curtain climbers.
We are a mil/vet family and she is the on still on AD.
Since we have only been in the area a month I belive our state rep. is Mary Gonzalez http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/Zip.aspx
I have held a CCW/CHL for a little over five years. I will be getting it transferred to here ASAP. I am aware of reciprocity, but we may be staying in Texas.
As for carry, where to start. I'm seasonal where it comes to carry options or used to be anyway. My primary will prolly be a S&W Shield .40 cal. In a Gary C's custom out of Libby, MT.
The frau is partial to her Bodyguard .380 in a Bulldog "phone" case. I haven't really looked but when I have, I haven't seen many other options because of the CT package.

:patriot:

My name is Don and I used to be on the forum several years ago. I kinda dropped off for a while because of too many other things took up my time. Now that I have more time on my hands I wanted to reconnect. I couldn't remember my username from back then so I just started over. I live in Aggie land and work as a lake ranger. My other hobbies include cameras, thus the username, fishing and building custom BBQ pits. I have had a CHL now for 10 years and my normal carry is a Kimber CDPII ultra.
