Now where the heck to I go? I already ran all my errands today.
Do I go out and do the "Wally Walk" that I keep hearing about?
I do need some new ammo

Opps, I should have posted this in the New to CHL section. Sorry, could one of the Mod's move it for me? If not I can delete and repost

Awesome! I'm hoping mine is waiting for me at home in my mailbox!

Congratulations

OUCH!! Sorry about that

congrats on your new license , a speedy one at that....

Wow, that's quick - congratulations. If you haven't spent the last 26 days reading up on hollow points, brace yourself. There are dozens of different options out there.

Enjoy your newly rented permission to exercise a fundamental right... ;)

I've been a gun collector and shooter for over 17 years. Just never went to get my CHL till now. I tend to purchase and trust Federal Hydra Shocks. But everyone has their favorites.

Ah, I misunderstood. I carried Hydra Shocks 15 years ago w. my first CHL. Apparently technology marches on, and Federal HSTs are an evolutionary development from the Hydra Shocks. Started carrying the HSTs last year when I re-upped for a permission slip.
