LTCH + 18 year old

[tspence]

I've been carrying since I got my LTCH at 19, and that was 6 years ago. I'm matured a lot since then, for example, I now carry a Glock 19 instead of a 1911.

There's no reason for other states to have the age limit at 21, or have FFLs be banned from selling handguns to under 21. Blatantly unconstitutional, but when has that changed anything...

I have raised my boys, as I was raised, to enjoy the shooting sports and the outdoors... They have been shooting since they were old enough to hold a gun and have been taught, re-taught, and taught again about gun safety, personal defense, etc... I made a promise to each of my boys that as they turned 18, I would pay the $$$ for them to get their permit and I would buy their first gun... 2 down, 1 to go... I feel that the 2 boys of mine who are now 18 and 19, are more safe every single day because they carry a gun... I also think that that sense of responsibility at such a young age, has helped them gain the responsibility necessary in other parts of their lives... I realize that every case is different and every kid is different, but, I truly believe, with all of my heart and soul, that a child is a true product of their raising... I realize there are a few exceptions out there... But, I think that this is the truest statement I can make on this subject...

Excellent! well said

Make up your mind, both of these statements cannot be true of the same person at the same time.
