    Hopefull Chicagoan

    Just wanted to introduce myself.

    Although we do not have CCW here in Illinois, I'm still hopefull. I do plan on getting a Utah license since I travel out west numerous times a year.

    I've been shooting on and off for over 30 years. Having a family kept me away from the sport for some time but now that the kids have grown, I'm getting back into it as well as being more concerned about their safety when I travel. That's why I'm doing the next best thing and carrying when out of state.

    I'm sure I'll have lots of questions throughout the forums but just wanted to say hello to everyone.

    For those of you out there also in Illinois, don't give up.

    Jim
