Hi there! I am 33yrs old, a wife, mother of two girls, and a new baby boy. We live in Fort Worth. We currently own a, 22 sig mosquito, 40 Taurus, a couple of old rifles, and our most recent purchase is a Rock Island Armory 1911, which my hubby is trying to steal for himselfLiko81 wrote:Welcome! Always good to see a new face. Tell us a little more about you. What city do you live in? What guns if any do you own? Do you have a CHL yet? Working toward one? Just a casual interest? What local firing ranges do you normally go to?
This is a little ironic. We just bought a Rock Island 1911 on Monday. I thought it would be mine, but my wife has laid claim to it. Guess I'll have to buy a 1911 of my own, eventually.queensheba wrote:and our most recent purchase is a Rock Island Armory 1911, which my hubby is trying to steal for himself
That's funny! Yeah, we are probably going to have to buy two of each kind, this way there will be no fighting.....but considering we don't fight, it's a good excuse to buy two of each kind!LarryH wrote:This is a little ironic.

Strangely enough, she has no interest in the CZ 75 D compact 9 we also bought that day. Go figger.

Get the license anyway. It doesn't mean you have to carry a pistol. It just means if you decide to, it's legal. If you keep a loaded gun in the car, it simplifies things. It will also give you an edge in traffic stops as most LEO's will consider you a responsible citizen. I know my warnings to ticket ratio has gone up considerably since I've had a CHL.I want one, but I am just not sure if I am responsible enough yet because I forget things....eg....my purse, and "oh, where did I put my keys?". And lastly, I go to the local shooting ranges my hubby takes me to.
Maybe get one of these:queensheba wrote:but I am just not sure if I am responsible enough yet because I forget things....eg....my purse, and "oh, where did I put my keys?".
I don't know about that... The CZ75 is one heck of a nice weapon. It may be the most copied handgun of all time, and while I love my 1911, I wouldn't turn away a CZ for anything (the 97 is just as sweet as the 75).catwoman wrote:...obviously a woman of taste and discernment.LarryH wrote: Strangely enough, she has no interest in the CZ 75 D compact 9 we also bought that day.
