Hello, all.

I've recently arrived in Houston from Calgary, Alberta (Canada). Not surprisingly, I work in the oil & energy sector.

I've taken the DPS required CHL course, made my application, and scheduled my fingerprinting session (two days from now, actually) - so I am obviously not carrying any firearms yet - but I have an H&K USP compact and a S&W M&P Shield.

I'm a relatively new pistol shooter, and am brand-new to carrying for personal defense, but I've been around firearms (mostly long guns) for most of my life, including six years in the Canadian military (infantry).
