I'm 21, and i got my CHL back in March, it was kind of shock to my family when i told them i got my CHL. My mother kinda freaked.. but my brother and dad didnt know what to say.. i told them my reasons for getting it because my family owns a few business in town and certain days I'm out there collecting cash out in the open.. after that my family know i carry everywhere i go and dont have a problem with it.. and since then my dad and brother both went to take thier CHL class they both are waiting for thier plastic...
I have never been much of a party person, so getting a CHL didnt effect my life style much.. it's just changes your attitude about where you are at and your surroundings.. i carry a Glock 26 in a C-TAC strong side at 3:30-4:00 everyday when im off work and most of the time i forget its there.. also have a (XD) service model and a kimber .45acp Pro-carry i plan on carrying once i get my holster from Mr. Tucker When i carry i feel proud to know that i am ready to protect my friends and family at any giving time... its just not something i use to feel before i had my CHL..
As for people knowing that i carry.. i only have a small circle of friends and they are perfectly fine with me carrying.. i have told them that it was only for them to know and them only.. as for my family.. only my parents and brother know i carry.. i decided to not tell my sisters about.. nor i think they really need to know.. they haven't notice me while i was carrying so i must be doing a very good job concealing while playing with the kids..
Going out.. most the time i go places when i can carry.. thats no problem.. but on some weekends me and my friends my decide to go out to the club or bar where obiviosly you cant carry.. im fine with that so i just leave the weapon at home or if its my car locked away in the glove box and just have my knife with me.. Bowling while consealing is pretty difficult.. haha i will never do that again...
since then i am looking at a even smaller carry gun to buy.. (nice excuse to make me buy another gun haha ) so i can carry on my ankel or S.O.B
So basicly... At a young age getting a CHL helped me be more mature and responsible... because i know quiet a few of other 21 year olds i wouldnt trust with a gun if my life depended on it...
thankyou for reading my book.. it will be $2.34 cents please ammo is expensive!!!
