Post by BasilFawlty70 »

42 years old and never fired a gun before 4/15/2012. Finally decided to get smart and get my CHL. Now the agonizing wait begins....

Since Basil owns his own hotel, he'll have plenty of places to rest and wait for the plastic. That is, if Sybil and Manuel will give him any peace. ;-)
