One Gentleman on the forum I have named CZ, I think he has every one made and has almost convinced me that I need some, they are one of the most accurate handguns I have ever shot.
Maybe he will come on later.

I'm "getting old" to firearms now.

Welcome Mr. Longenecker.

Thanks. Just call me Rob. Kinda' used to that handle anyway.

Sorry, I've been posting here for a little while now, but haven't formally introduced myself.

I've lived in Texas for about 3 years, before that I lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana my entire life.

I served a short enlistment in the USMC, which ended with a knee injury after 12 of 13 weeks at MCRD San Diego. I still have intense loyalty to the Corps.

I've owned guns my entire life, and carried when I was in Louisiana. I got my Texas CHL last summer, and have carried daily since.

I can't recall ever not having guns in our home, and I was raised to respect them and use them properly.

I work as a Field Service Engineer in the oilfield, working on Power Electronics Systems (VFD's and SCR's).

I carry a Glock 22 and a Glock 23, and my main carry holsters are a Comp-Tac Pro Undercover, Comp-Tac C-TAC, Desantis Mini-Slide, and (my new favorite), a Tucker HF1.

I reload all my practice ammo, and fire nearly 1000 rounds of ammo per month at the Sharp Shooter in Corpus Christi. I also practice with my rifles regularly.

I really like what I see happening on TexasCHLForum, and greatly appreciate the input of all the members here. I hope I can be a good influence here as well.

I had a somewhat similar experience at MCRD. Several of us flew into Miramar on a cross country and went to the O-Club at MCRD (MCrud) on a Friday night where I was neatly shot down and wounded in the heart by several young ladies. I ended up with a bruised ego but, I still have an intense loyalty to young ladies. My wife lets me look, but I can't date.

Now that flat funny!!

Welcome Rob. Do you happen to know a former Navy flight instructor named "Walt" Walters? He's on the NRA Board of Directors and now lives in Virginia. He's older than you, but I believe you guys may have been serving at the same time.

Sorry, I don't remember him. Must be a good guy, though.

Howdy all! I stumbled upon this forum from a link at another site. I've lived in Texas since 2002 when I got out of the military. As a compromise with my wife I told her if she put up with me being a Paratrooper, I'd move to Texas when I was done and so here I am. I recently graduated from college and now I work for an investment management firm. I run a Paratrooper website and am the vice chairman of the local chapter of the 82nd Airborne Division Association. I've got a 6 month old son so after all of that I don't have much time left over. I've been around weapons all my life and deeply believe in the 2nd Amendment. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask.

Welcome CAL & thank you & all the above guys for your service to keep us safe while we slept well. You did a good job.

Welcome, Cal. Thanks for your service.
Rob

Welcome to Texas and to the TexasCHLforum. As others have said, we appreciate your service.
