Welcome to the forum Charley! Glad to have you with us. There's a wealth of information here on this board and a great bunch of gals & guys to get to know. I know what you mean about the Pocketlite!

Glad to find this forum. Will be moving to central TX from PA in the next couple of months and this seems like a good source for TX info.

Got my first CHL in New York State many years ago; that was an adventure to be sure. PA was a piece of cake by comparison. TX sounds a bit more involved than PA, but far less odious than NY.

I'm a life member of the NRA, and a regular over on TheHighRoad and TheFiringLine ... same screen name. Looking forward to gettin' acquainted here.

Welcome Legionnaire! I recognize you from Firing Line.

This is a great forum, lots of very well-informed and friendly people.

I read much, post little, because usually someone who knows more will be by shortly with better information.

Have fun!
