While this poll may be somewhat representative of the actual ages of CHL holders, it will really only show the demographic of those CHL'ers on this forum who are active and are computer geeks and Internet forum junkies (like me :mrgreen: )

As a comparison I put a chart together of CHL's issued 2008 - 2010 by age to see how they match up to those of us on here. I suspect they will be similar just due to the volume of the 'middle aged' folks that are there, but will be interesting to compare them.

4. Dislike most gun shops.
5. often make statements that they have "underwear older" than the OP.
6. biggest wish is to see the front sight post clearly.
7. make meaningless postings like mine. :tiphat:
:cheers2:

If I may, I will add on to this:

8. are smarter than anyone/everyone or younger/less-experienced than themselves. They may also be dumber than the same group.
9. can tell just about everyone else, "Sonny (or Girlie), I've been when you are; you ain't never been where I am."
9a. well, maybe I ain't ever been everywhere Girlie may have been.

If I had known I was going to live this long when I was young, I would have taken a lot better care of myself. Then again I don't think it is the years (59) but all the hard miles I've been down that slow me down now.

I'm young enough to not forget. Does that count?

I just moved up a category and I did walk up hill to and from school. My house and school were both at the top of hills with a creek in between. It wasn't that far, though, only about a mile and a half. Good weather was great, but winter was terrible. Often times my winter boots laces were frozen and I had to wear them a while until they thawed enough to untie them.

There are several others that are appropriate too.
