Re: Introduce yourself

XD40SC wrote:First time I've actually joined a forum. I tend to lurk a lot, usually looking for answers to questions. Let's see...

I'm a male, age 67. Been married to the same woman for 41 years. 2 grown children, 3 grandchildren.

I've flunked retirement twice. I'm an engineer in the offshore oil bidness, and I love it. Can't force myself to stay away from it. My wife retired from nursing at age 63 and wishes she had done it earlier.

I've had my CHL for about a year and a half. My son and I both got licenses after his wife was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of a local shopping mall. My father taught me to shoot when I was 7, though, and we started hunting when I was 10.

My carry gun is a SA XD40 sub-compact, hence the screen name. I carry it in a Crossbreed Super Tuck IWB holster, which I really like. There's a full-size XD40 in my nightstand, a Benelli 12-gauge behind the headboard, and a Bushmaster AR-15 in the closet. My wife's gun is another XD40SC. All are loaded. Needless to say, the bedroom is off limits to the grandchildren and they are never left alone in the house.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
welcome to the forum, it's great to have you with us! :tiphat:
