Hello!
I have been reading the forum for about 3 weeks now and figured I would make my first post in the Waiting Room. After moving back to Texas a couple months ago I decided to start looking into buying a hand gun. Don't laugh but I took the NRA First Steps class from a local trainer in the Houston area. Figured I wanted to learn as much about safety as possible before I ran out and bought a gun. During the class I learned about how the CHL works and what was needed to acquire one. Shortly after that I purchased a Glock 19 and then took my CHL class. After doing more research I decided to pickup a Glock 26 as my official carry gun. Long story short, I am waiting for my CHL to get here!

It's always better safe then sorry. As a newbie gun person, I have been looking into anything and everything I can to become more proficient, and not just 'some guy that bought a gun and doesn't have a clue'.
