I don't remember exactly how the topic came up that particular morning, but I learned about CHL from a friend during Bible School one Sunday, shortly after it was signed into law. Dan had one of the very first permits issued in Texas. I'd grown up around firearms (Army Brat) but hadn't handled one since the early-mid '70s. (Long story as to why not...) But, I remember thinking, "Neat! That's something I could do...."
Took a few more years of percolating before I actually was ready to act on the idea, though. Finally got back into shooting, and got my permit, with my husband's and son's full support, in 2004. And I've been kicking myself ever since for missing out on all those years I could have been having fun on the range!
