Hello to all you guys and gals of the forum. I just found your forum toay, and after looking it over, thought I would join. I'm brand new to legal conceal carry but with over 50 years of experience with firearms, I am NOT new to guns. I've used them to put meat on the table from as early as age 8, and, later to defend myself and my buddies as a ground-pounder in 'Nam for three years. Finally retired as a CW2 in 1989
My current weapons of choice are:
(1) Colt M1911A1 in .45acp;
(2) Springfield XDM in .40 SW, along with
(3) Remington model 870 in .12ga for home protection, capped off with
(4) Bersa UC40, also in .40SW, on my hip.
I am a life member of the VFW and NRA and maintain annual memberships in several firearm-related organizations, e.g. USCCA, NAGR, etc.
Background: in my 22+ years of active duty, I travelled extensively and put my feet on the ground in 52 countries outside the borders of our good old U.S. of A.
I have been married to the same wonderful Lady for over 40 years.
And there you have it.
