My nephew and a good friend of his have decided to get their concealed carry licenses.
So...April 18th will see two more join the ever growing ranks.
Next we will work on convincing his wife she should do the same. Always good to be "prepared".

Unfortunately, no.
One Berreta 92F (my nephew) and the other.... a Glock 40 cal.
But hey, they're young (both 24 yrs. old), so I'm sure they will come around eventually.

...and here I thought this was a thread about two more recently diseased individuals of the porcine variety.

It only took one trip to the range with a Kimber to convert me from my Berretas (92F and PX4 Storm .40) to a hard core 1911 fan.

No, that would have been posted under the "hunting" section.

I especially like to see the women folk arming themselves.
I am also encouraged to see the numbers of "young people" taking advantage of the CHL.

Thats good news. I was at least able to get my wife to take the class and agree to get a pistol of her own.

Thanks for the spell-check, and you're right on both counts. I still love my Berettas and ain't giving them up, especially the PX4 Storm. ..but my carry is now the Kimber Eclipse Ultra.

I am trying to get a few friends to go and take the test as well. They are still in denial though
