It is evident that you are in good company. See above. How do you get a double tap here? I did not type it twice I am too lazy.

You need a new sear spring in your mouse. You got "hammer follow".

Thanks flint, I knew you would have the answer.

I am married, male, and older than most of you at 71. I am a retired engineer and worked about 35 years for the Federal Government. My wife and I moved to Texas when we retired after traveling most of the western United States (because of kids and grandkids).

I have had to renew my CHL for the second time so that accounts for 8 years plus. I seldom carry on my person but often carry a pistol in the car when traveling, so that was the main reason for obtaining CHL. I have been around guns most of my life and carried concealed whenever it seemed appropriate. Just decided to become legal after coming to Texas.

I havenâ€™t posted anything before and doubt that I will post very much. I sort of tend to the theory that it is better to remain silent and be thought dumb than to do a lot of talking and remove all doubt. I do enjoy reading the posts and look at the website almost every day when I am around home.

Sorry I didn't make it in the thread before now, kbarrick, but from from another new member of the site, WELCOME!

And, as carlson1 mentioned, you will find a wealth of information here (or at least I have!), and with your experience I'm sure I'll be finding even more!
