Meg Here
 

Hi all. Name is Meg. I'm a stay at home mom. Recently (beginning of Jan) got my FL CWP and have been carrying my M&P shield 40 wherever legal since then. This place was recommended to me so here I am.

DH is active duty USAF stationed at Hurlburt Field. Girl Child will be two at the end of March and we're expecting Boy Child to make his appearance at the beginning of April.

I was raised around guns and raised hunting. Until recently I never really thought of keeping a gun on my person for self defense. I'm still not sure what exactly clicked, but something did. I guess I realized that with Girl Child around and Boy Child on the way "I'll just run away" wasn't a viable option (was it ever?) and I couldn't pretend it was anymore. So I'm starting the process of learning to protect myself. Can't do much as far as shooting right now because my OB is worried about how the noise may affect the little one. I'm okay with that for the moment. My dad raised me to know how to safely handle a gun. Most of my training holes are on the defensive side. Right before Christmas I started taking Hapkido classes at a nearby martial arts school. After baby gets here I intend to continue with Hapkido and get serious about continuing my firearms training as money and time allow. :)

So...that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :) Hi.

Welcome from Daytona and congrats on the newbie to be, and the escape from FCC.

Welcome aboard to the nut house. Stay away from pig as he is contagious.

Welcome. I hope you continue to enjoy Hapkido. I, myself, am a long time MA practitioner as well.

Bahaha! Thanks!

:banhim: < He likes it.

Welcome to the asylum. Sounds like you are on the right track.

Can't, he is a Mod here <-----can you believe that!?!!

Nice. DH is too. He mostly sticks to Karate. We decided when we PCSd here that it was my turn to learn something this tour.

Yeah...he told me the same thing... He must be passing out some powerful cool aid...

funny You will see that this place is great, a little slow at times (small forum) but, we have some great members here.....well, except Ellison

Quiet there roach boy. ...:D

Welcome to the insanity.

How do you like the Shield 40? I bought my wife the 9mm version, she/we love it.

Tell DH, Thank you for his service.

a girl on COTEP???:eek: I guess this means we'll all have to behave ourselves :D


Howdy Meg and welcome from Texas!!:)

Welcome Meg....if any of the minions give you trouble, I'll slap the tastebuds outta their mouth

[QUOTE=skosh69;69170]I love it! I got the 40 because DH has a Glock 22 I enjoyed shooting and he's already set up to reload 40. I also tend to buy a box whenever the stars align (i.e. Walmart has them in stock and I have cash in my pocket). I've only shot 5-6 magazines so far (Okay...so maybe I do cheat a little on the OB's firm no shooting), but it's been a blast so far and accurate for me. My dad liked it and he's definitely a revolver kind of guy... :)

Been drinkin' too much corn likker again eh???

Again, welcome Meg.

Gotta ask, does DH stand for "Richard Cranium"??? 'Cause that's what I get called all the time! funny funny funny

FLOTEP Nation continues to grow :D

Welcome from Georgia!

I highly recommend getting involved in IDPA competition. I did it mainly as a way of practicing under pressure. A lot of issues came up that I never would have even thought about otherwise. Plus, they put a very high emphasis on safe handling.

I thought DH stood for designated husband

My wife uses two words starting with DH to talk at me sometimes....:D

Now I know you been in the cupboard. funnyfunny

Bring civility to this forum??? You been hanging out with pig?

Welcome Meg. word of advise don't take reloading tips from skosh69 (ellison). stay away from clyde and NEVER take a drink from MIke's cup.


I'm Edward (ed) aka mean minion.

funny

Also remember Ed is full of horse dung and isn't sure which way to go....

Seeing as how you are pregnant and brought up shooting while in your delicate condition, here's something which may be of interest for you:
