10 seconds later he sent a "oops, ignore that". I sent a response telling him all about the AR15 I'd just finished building.
Since then, he's gone shooting with me after work when he's in town.
2-3 of my close coworkers know I've got a CHL pending. One of them took a CHL class a month ago and is waiting for her license too.
Another one (my immediate manager) shot a Glock 19 for the first time three weeks ago, and emailed me that night with "okay I want one, where should I go buy one at?"
