Long story. Back in 2005-2006, when it looked like the bird flu might start jumping human to human, my wife determined with a >50% mortality rate we should become prepared for a period of lawlessness. We bought a Glock 22 based on a police officer recommendation. Obviously the H1N1 epidemic didn't come to pass so the firearm sat dormant in a gun safe.

Recently, we've noticed a greater sense of a lack of personal security when we are away from our house. I believe that the lack of security, along with the uncertain political situation, motivated us to pursue our CHL. With our plastic in hand, we are now in the process of getting our carry weapons (spent about 5 hours yesterday looking and handling various recommendations) and then becoming proficient with them. I don't want to carry until I am reasonable proficient, and this ammo thing is a serious inconvenience.

Short story, because we wanted to, we could and we should.
