Re: Younger CHLs
My 18 year old son, who is quite good with firearms and very responsible, is counting the days until he turns 21. He thinks the age requirement is "bogus, man." I just smile. I remember what it was like to be 18... ...sorta... ...it's been a long while.

Re: Younger CHLs
I'm also 21. Took my class about a month and a half out from by birthday and got my pistol the same week. I thought I'd get my CHL while I was 21, but it looks like I'll be closer to 22 by the time I get it.

I hope the grandkids' reply is, "What? You mean you had to have a license to carry a gun? And people really put up with that?"longtooth wrote:It is going to be intersting to the younger generation when some of you 21 yr old CHLers are 80, teling your Grreat Grand Children, "Papa & Mammaw have been carrying 69ys."
Re: Younger CHLs
I took the class on my 22nd birthday and it is the best decision of my life. I am proud to call myself a CHL'er.

Re: Younger CHLs
My dad bought me my first carry pistol after I had my CHL, because I was unable to do so! I was only 19 at the time I got it.
I have been carrying for about a year and a half now. I'm 21, and just bought a new Glock.
