I've had my CHL for a couple months now.
I carry a 9MM Springfield XD Sub-Compact

I've been visiting the forum and reading posts even before I mailed in my packet. I finally decided to register and maybe give myself an opportunity to participate in the discussions. A year ago I would never have expected to be sitting here at my computer with a gun in my IWB holster. I went from being ambivalent about guns to somebody who has now developed a keen interest in the policies and issues concerning gun control. I come from a family where almost nobody owns a gun for protection even by simply keeping one in the house. I'm the first. I would like to think that being given the opportunity to own a weapon and being allowed oneself to assert their right to protect themselves makes each and every one of us more responsible not only for ourselves but for the people around us thereby making us better citizens.
