I've been around guns for over 34 years now. My very first one was a Ruger 10/22 that I still own. But it wasn't until around a year ago that I acquired a handgun that was larger than a .22.
So now I own two 9mm's, a .40S&W, and most recently a 1911 in .45. So I wanted to take the next step, and apply for my CHL.
I applied for my permit online about two weeks ago, and had my interview with the Clackamas County sheriff's office this morning. I expected to be I.D.'d and fingerprinted, but what I didn't expect was to walk out of the office with my license in hand. I thought I would have to wait a couple of weeks for it. BTW, the whole process took 15 minutes.
So I am a licensed concealed carry person now. I have already carried at Freddys and the pizza joint. And surprising to me, I do not feel one little bit uncomfortable doing it. It just feels natural.
Guess the next step is getting the Utah permit so I can CC in states other than Oregon.
Thanks for reading this. Feels good to join the ranks of the "empowered".
