    Newbie from Raleigh, NC

    Hello there,

    I've been browsing this site for a few months and soaking up a lot of info from the forums.

    I've been considering concealed carrying for a couple of years, mainly because my job includes hiring and firing, and I've had a couple of former - disgruntled - employees threaten my life. Also, because I did enjoy playing with my M-16 during my military career and miss the smell of the spent ammo...

    I finally made the decision to do it a couple of months ago and purchased a few guns. Got my ccp this past week and it feels great to be able to have a personal defense weapon (or two) readily available everywhere I go.
