Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'll be back as time allows, as I run a couple of forums myself.

Be safe, Manc...

Welcome to all the recent members. Sorry so late, I haven't been around much.

Robert, +1 to what Charles said. I work in the same business, although I'm on the operations side instead of research.

Age: 30ish (with an extra large side of "ish")
Gender: Male
What I do: Software Support/programming
What I am: Married
CHL: only 5 months, but already feel nekkid without it.
Carry guns/Equipment: MK9, P-3AT, and G19 (on rare occasions). Various knives from Multi tools to a Tactical Folder (which is little more that a really good way to get into packages in my hands). Also a Streamlight and some source of fire. I’ve always believed that with a good knife and fire you could rule the world. I was recently confirmed in that belief reading the Lawdog Files.

The site is really great. I found out about it on TheHighRoad. Glad to be here and find so much info.

Welcome Aruthurcw. It does not take long after carrying to feel like you are not fully dressed without it. I am sure you will enjoy this place.

Me: Male, 20s
Work: formerly IT, currently temping, generally whatever I can find
7th Congressional District (Spring Branch West)
CHL holder for almost one year
Ruger KP-95, Bersa Thunder

As far as my choice of weapons go, I prefer a weapon that is both reliable and inexpensive, while still being at least as accurate as I am and comfortable to shoot. That way I can work inside of a budget, spending most of my money on ammo and range fees. I go shooting at least twice a month at American Shooting Centers and put over 150 rounds through both weapons each time.

Yes, I don't know why it took me so long to find it. A forum for Texas CHL holders is a great idea.
