Introducing Myself

#1

Post by ericwootton »

Hi all,

I was in the Marines from 2000-2006, part of the Iraqi invasion. So pretty comfortable with firearms. Didn’t feel the need to own one though until recently. After my son was born my Dad got me a security shotgun for home defense. That was about 1.5 years ago.

Lately I’ve been seeing lots of stuff around - in society - that caused me to buy my first hand gun. I’m now carrying concealed everywhere I go (minus where I work, not allowed) and will be dropping my CCW application in the mail tomorrow.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself.

- Eric
