"Hey, are you on the Texas CHL Forum?"

So, has anyone ever asked/been asked this question by a stranger or new acquaintance? I guess I just thought about it as I met a new friend at Sportsman's Finest while I was putting a gun on layaway. I wanted to ask, but didn't want to sound awkward.

I've been asked a couple of times at the range and at Cabelas.

I have talked to a few people about guns and about CHL and I
always work into the conversation this forum and about all the good
info you can get here and also the 10yr old rule.
I know of one who has joined and a few who visit here.

Cant say that I have been asked that but I have had a few people on here pointed out by others while at an IDPA match or two.

And then there was the time I overheard a Austin talking about his encounter in a Taco Cabana parking lot and figured out it was him on here. I turned to him and said that was you? And then introduced myself. Kinda funny how you run into people.

It is a small world isn't it???

The word is getting out...

I will often tell people that I meet at the range, especially other women.
There's a wealth of knowledge on here that I want them to have.

Imagine my surprise -- walking into a CHL course a couple of months back and seeing 2 guys I work with and never talked "guns" with before... small world indeed!!

And another time recently, I read on this board -> a fellow posted a question specific to a certain gun he had. Later in that day, I was hanging around a target range in Dallas and a fellow walked in and asked the clerk at the desk almost the same question verbatim.

I had a pretty good idea it had to be the same guy -- but I didn't want to sound like a weird stalker type, so I didn't bring it up or talk to him about it. But you, there in the Hawaiian shirt ... I know who you are!

That's why I enjoy this site so much. I was looking at a few others, but got really turned off because of the constant arguing and bashing going back and forth vs quality info, great conversation, and respect

Not me, but when I went to Linda's Utah class, and I said something about carry 24/7 or guess right? She bout rolled her eyes and said, oh, you must be from that board, lol. Then chuckled of course.

Speaking of the Utah class, Marty still owes me a hit with that little mosquito zapper thing...

Is there any objection to printing business cards and leaving them at ranges?
