Hi all,

I just joined today after stumbling over this website. I'm a retired Navy guy, live in Mechanicsburg, PA and got my carry permit a few weeks ago. I don't have a carry weapon yet. I've been arguing 2nd Amendment and gun issues on line since '91 or so and started out on Compuserve many years ago.

Welcome to the forum, there is a lot of great people and information here. Just a heads-up this is probably going to get moved to the "Introduce Yourself" section. Enjoy your time here!

No problem, just shift me around to where I need to be and I'll sit there quietly!

Bravo Zulu on making it to retirement. I am a former SM3 Desert Storm Vet. Served on tin cans from 86 to 92. I often wish I stayed in as most of my conversations seem to start with " When I was in the Navy.......". You will find alot of good info here. Welcome.

Welcome aboard, Belasarius!!

Ex-Navy here too...I was an airdale in the late 60's through late 70's. Got out as an AMS1.

Before the Semantics Nazis nail you, in PA the permit is called a License To Carry Firearms (LCTF).

So, what kind of firearm are you considering for carry? I'm a Glock guy, but mostly carry .38 snubbies (plus an LCP as a BUG).

Thanks for the warning about the "SN's." After reading for awhile I recognized it and realized that this was a place that requires precision in communication. I changed to LCTF in about my 3rd post. I'm a quick l'arner.

I have to say that I have never been a brand man. I've owned a lot of different makes of vehicles and I don't have any predetermined bias toward any particular brand of weapon. I owned a .45 Colt Commander at one time but I'm looking for something inexpensive and concealable to carry with some stopping power. Not too much, not too little, just right. But I don't want to be carrying a house payment in the form of a firearm. So I'm looking for a good used gun.
