In 1990, I was going through a divorce, and I won't go into it, but I had a restraining order on him for good reason. He called me up one day and said that since I was living alone I needed a gun and he would bring one to me. I was like OH CRAP there is NO way I'm allowing THAT so I told him that was not necessary because I already had one (I didn't, I lied). He was shocked.
Someone I knew at work had a FFL so I asked him for advice on a handgun for home defense, and he sold me a Lady Smith revolver (such a purdy thing!). About a year later, he asked me out on a date, and my first thought was that "he must be OK because he knows that I am armed." Three years after that we got married so I've been married to my gun dealer now for 20 years.
He has his CHL and we do pretty much everything together so I just thought that we didn't both need one, but with everything that is going on I am totally rethinking that. Also, I've been told that after January 1, when open carry becomes law, it will be more difficult to get a CHL. I take that to mean that there will be more to learn for the test. |
GREAT little weapon!! I have one....have 2 actually! I was even a gun dealer for about 5-6 years....was able to actually own my own gun business (Wright's Gun Gallery!) and did manage to get numerous ladies/nurses trained to shoot effectively and they purchased weapons from me.....let that business go when people that were shot as they tried to kill another person, or as they were shot breaking into businesses and homes, were then able to turn around and sue not only the person that was defending their property, but the gun dealer the gun was purchased from, as well as the the actual manufacturer of the gun! So it would seem the laws in this country are all slanted in favor of the crooks and crazies that are causing the problems....concerns for THEIR rights!!!
I am not sure I will ever open carry....I would rather not let the bad guy know I am armed...let it be a surprise to him!
