On another note, do any of you fellow young CHLers know any ladies our age who carry? My ex and a good friend both carry, and it never ceases to amaze me. They are both very blond, giggly sorority types, and IMHO, the last two I would ever expect to carry a concealed handgun. What about ya'll?

Who said anything about children?

Going out with friends is not a problem. Most of them are pro gun and will be taking their CHL this month. I am the first one in the group of friends to get the CHL.

Going out to bars, I usually disarm myself before heading inside with my friends. I obey the law as much as I can, depending how bad the neighborhood is.

I play basketball a lot. I usually have my backpack with me and I just leave my handgun in my bag where I can have a clear view on it at all times.

So far, the closes for me to pulling out my gun was at 2:30am in the early morning. Someone smashed into my uncles Ford F-150 right in front of the driveway and the alarm went off. They busted the back and driver side windows with a brick. They ripped out my uncle's dvd/mp3 player from the dash board that cost over 1k. By the time we got outside, the BG's have already fled the scene. This happened probably 3 - 4 months ago.

Same here. I have a few close friends that wants a CHL and a handgun. They are either around my age or a year younger. It's kind of scary because they see me carrying and they want to do the same thing. I've talked to them already about the responsibility of carrying and what to do and not to do. It kinds of worry me sometimes because these guys are party animals. I told them after they get their CHL, party time is over. They stare at me like I am dumb or something. I can only show them the door. They are the one that has to walk through it. If not, then they will learn it the hard way.
