I discovered the TexasCHLforum.com and Charles Cotton one year after getting my (then) CHL and my first pistol. It was a life altering experience. The knowledge, experience, and opinions shared by this community changed changed, verified, validated, and clarified, for me, every aspect of carrying a handgun for self-defense. I believe that, without this forum and its members, I would not have progressed as far or as quickly as I have.
I value Charles' expertise so that I drove from Bastrop to Friendswood to take my youngest brother and our father to Charles' LTC class. Thanks, Charles.
