Hi guys and girls,
im new in this part of town. just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. a month ago, when started a search for my first firearm for home defense, i began looking for options to conceal a weapon while out and about the city and came across this site...WOW...i exclaimed with great relish! here was a whole community of people who have the same concerns for the well being of their families and personal safety as i do.
To be perfectly honest with you, while researching firearms and CCW options i started to feel weird, like i was doing something wrong by wanting to carry a weapon to defend myself and my family. but then i found this community and realized that it IS a fundamental right for the good citizens of this country to bear arms, and there is no need to feel weird about wanting to carry a weapon.
as you can see i live in chicago, one of the best cities in the WORLD in my opinion. but after last summer when 36 chicago public school kids were shot (thats just kids over a 3 month period, not including adults) i decided that it was not only justifiable, but necessary to procure a firearm to protect my new family...my beautiful wife and 16 month old daughter.
so thank you DC community for making me feel "normal" again. next step, get my FOID card...my G19 (i think thats what im going with, but id like to try one first)...and my CCW option. im still a college student and spend a lot of time pounding the pavement around campus, which is in a terrible hood, so i think im going with this: BLACKHAWK! Covert Carry Messenger Bag - BLACKHAWK!
i look forward to talking with all of you...or some of you.
peace, if possible...
