Poll: How Old When Received CHL

Post by AlaskanInTexas »

I was a late bloomer when it comes to guns. Just curious how old others were when they first received a CHL (Texas or elsewhere).

Tried to apply on my 21st birthday, but the system wouldn't allow it, so did it the next day!

Unless some has already done so, it would be interesting to see a poll of the age of CHL folks today.

I was 18 when I got my first one in Pa back in 1967. Then went into the military for 20 years and didn't have one through it all. When I came back to Tx in 1988 there wasn't any available. Moved to Maine in 95 and had CCP there til I moved back to Tx again 2005. Had to surrender the Maine one when I moved, didn't get my Tx CHL til 2011.
