Male, late 20s, single, financial analyst.

I got my CHL last year with the encouragement of my boss who also turned me on to this forum.

EDC is a Glock 26 with one reload, a 47s flashlight, and a Kershaw folder. I'm thinking of adding pepper spray.

Welcome aboard Dave. Now remember, no posting from work.

Hello all,

Gollum,

Welcome! Have your wife join up here. There are several active ladies groups in the "Spring" area. A Girl and a Gun as well as DRAW At Thunder Gun Range. Would love to see her get involved - we gals have a great time.

I have an M&P 40 and a Glock 23 but I want something smaller like a Glock 30 or Compact M&P in .45. I have found it hard to find any in the North DFW area though.. I need to find a FFL in Collin County...

Any and all advice is appreciated

hey guys,
21 years old, college student/employee for the City of Corpus Christi; I got myself a H&K p30 9mm but no holster to carry :( I'm 6'4 about 220lbs. I've had my plastic for about 2 months and personally, I don't see myself carrying as often as alot of members on here only because I feel like I'm young and i feel that i have a higher risk of doing stupid stuff (like drinking a lot, etc.) and i really don't wanna put myself in any situations where a handgun is inappropriate; I still want to carry during certain situations and I respect the rights for law abiding citizens to carry.

Hello all,

I love this forum. I've been lurking for a while but figured I'd briefly come out of the woodwork and introduce myself.

I am a refugee from Southern Kalifornia and have been loving it here in TX for the last 6 years. I hope you all won't hold where I come from against me. I'm not here to change things, but to fit in

Given my state of origin, I never was around firearms the majority of my life unless you count plinking as a kid with .22s in Boy Scouts. Shotrtly after I settled in here, my co-workers and friends helped reveal my repressed love of firearms rather quickly. I bought my first shotgun. Then my first AR-15. Then my first pistol. And well, you get the idea...

I am 37, married, no kids yet. Pets are 5 parakeets, 1 umbrella cockatoo, and a German Shepherd (hence the name). I work as an Enterprise Systems Analyst for a well known Texas based international computer company.

I've had my CHL since 2011. I normally carry a Desert Eagle 1911 so when people ask me what I carry I can say, "A Desert Eagle." Then I sit back and enjoy their reaction before telling them, "No, not THAT one, just a good old 1911." When it's too hot or I can't otherwise dress for the .45, I will carry an SR9c or Ruger LCP.

Though to digress a little, I think the Desert Eagle .50s are great for home defense... if you're being attacked by a house.
...or for that matter, if the Death Star shows up.
