As this is a new site, I thought it might be helpful to introduce ourselves as we come on board. Sometimes it helps to know a little about the author of the posts we read and respond to.
Let us know as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
May I suggest:
Age
Gender
Profession/school status
Marital status
Years CHL
Texas State Representative House District
Carry guns/equipment
Any additional information is up to you. Whatever you feel is needed to "know" you better.
As for me,
50's male
Training Coordinator
Married with 2 sons and 2 DILs, 2 grandsons.
CHL for 12 years now.

Hello all,
I really have never taken an interest in an internet forum before (though I have lurked occasionally), but this one begins with the subject that most concerns me - concealed carry in Texas. I live in Texas. I carry a handgun (or two) whenever I can, because I think I need to and because it is my right to protect myself.
East Texas
Male
Late 40's
Married w/ kids in 20's
Professional occupation
CHL 2 years
Carry guns; Glock 27 in a Don Hume IWB or a Tucker Leather Answer (the most comfortable IWB imaginable) depending on whether I need to disarm during the day. The Don Hume goes on and off REAL EASY, but the Answer is REAL COMFORTABLE.
Keltec .32 in an Uncle Mikes pocket holster as a back up or when I can't carry anything else.

Merry Christmas morning to all. The family is still in bed around here, so I'm up sucking on coffee and peckin'. 'Good to see some familiar names so far. I must have jumped in and started postin' a day or two ago before this thread got going.
Male, 52, married 26 years, 2 kids. Contracts Manager/Private indoor range Operator/Instructor in southern Denton County. http://www.dentoncountysports.com Have hung out (probably too much) for several years as "Greybeard" at The Firing Line, The High Road and Glocktalk.
State Rep. is Mary Denny (whose husband also operates a gun range in Denton County). CHL Instructor since Sept. 1, 1995. Between CHL, NRA and Hunter Ed. classes, certified 3,000+ students - and made lots of new friends! Primary carry guns are S&W 340 and Kahr PM-9. Glock 29 is at top of current "itch list" :)
' Lookin' forward to seein' some more familiar names/handles here. 8)
