I would like to introduce myself.

I am from Texas, and the 45+ applies to age (okay, 45++) and to ccw. I have been in and out of shooting for 40 years. I am married (she has a ccw) and our three older children are gone from the nest. The youngest is still at home and is a real joy to us (a late blessing). We homeschool the young 'un. I was honorably discharged from the Navy during VN, after doing a WESTPAC cruise, involving some time in-country.

I carry when legal, reload, and love to shoot and appreciate the courtesy and good information of this board.

Thanks for letting me participate.

45+,

Let me be Frank with you, welcome to THR. There is a 'what does your name mean' thread going somewhere. If you do a search, I'm sure you'll find it fairly easily. Now sit back, relax, and hold on, cause this place can be a rather fun ride.

Frank (Yes, that's really my name, and Perfesser, stop trying to give it away on me.)

OEF_VET, er.., Frank, thanks for the welcome. Having looked around on the board for a couple of weeks now, I see what you mean about the fun ride.

Thanks again.

Welcome 45+ I have enjoyed reading your posts.

I guess I could be considered 45+3.

I just prefer to say that I am just 24 for the SECOND time.

:D

I'll never be a good as I once was, but I am as good once as I've ever been. (almost)

:evil:

Thanks for the welcome Bluesbear. I am really starting to feel welcome here.

I like your comment about being 24, the second time.

Thanks, I am watching for your posts as well.

Safe packin'...
