Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

Thanks for the kind welcome. I'll look more into the thread replies. I'm certainly interested in meeting people that are knowledgeable in firearms in DFW.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

Cytochromes are heme (Iron) centered proteins that have various functions. Some cytochromes include; cytochrome p450 ( metabolizes alcohol and is found in the liver) cytochrome a, cytochrome b and cytochrome c. Cytochrome c is found in the electron transport chain which provides certain organisms with mitochondria (humans) with ATP ("energy") . Interestingly enough cytochrome c also catalyzes cell death in the case of DNA damage. Think of my name as an allusion to concealed carry in that one has the ability to bring localized death to prevent any further damage to a greater system, like a cytochrome c.
