The Wait Begins!

Post by Dadiggla »

:tiphat: Hello everybody, Im Ron and Im retired military(Jan 2011) and always wondered why we couldnt carry, being soldiers and all. Then I found out about CHL a few months ago. Believe it or not MANY folks dont know about CHL. Well, I had my CHL class this past Saturday in Austin. Mike did a great job of keeping it fun yet stressing the huge responsibility of not just carrying but of gun ownership period. Ive been so engrossed in the idea of being armed that I eat, think and dream concealement. Its all I think about. How to do it right. This shirt is too tight. That one is too short. To tuck in or not tuck in. IWB, CC T-shirts...etc. Ive probably been on EVERY ccw site on the internet the past few months. I know one thing for sure. After finding this site yesterday and reading some post. I can see Im not alone in my newly found concerns as a newbie to the CHL family. LOL Ive been doing the mirror practicing and even wearing my OWB all day to see how much I think about it. Even without a weapon in it I was continuosly thinking if anybody can see it. I was watching to see who was watching :lol: I ordered the IWB tuckable holster and the ccw T-shirt and cant wait to get em. So many gun choices out there. I have a Lorcin 380(POS but I'll save that for another topic :roll: ) and a Witness10 mm(still havent fired it yet tho).
Im looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all. Oh btw I WILL video my Wally Walk :lol:

I believe it. I've met a few people that have almost fainted at the idea that people can actually (legally) walk around with a concealed handgun. :shock:

Thank you very much...I'll never understand how people can feel safe knowing that bad people are not only carrying but using guns and most LBCs arent.
Police cant be everywhere...but the criminal is.
