Pensacola
Hey folks. Just sent off my application package yesterday. Hopefully it won't take too terribly long. Basically, I'm a father of two daughters (new one arrived yesterday!) and former Marine with 5 years and 2 combat tours in the 'raq as a Phrog crew chief, currently living in Pensacola. I love guns,photography and Jeeps, along with the simple pleasures in life like single malt Scotch and fine cigars. I own a Remington 1100 for clay and a Smith & Wesson 5 shot .38 revolver that I don't know the model of cause it was passed to me from my Grandfather through my mother. I'm about to make my first hand gun purchase for concealed carry, debating between an M&P 45, XD-S 45,or possibly a Springfield Ultra Compact 1911. Leaning heavily toward the XD-S, so much so that I joined this forum so you guys could talk me into it and make my mind up! Thanks for reading

Welcome from Ohio. BTW, I've never met a "former Marine."

Yeah, but it's easier to say former, than to answer the stream of inevitable questions that come after saying I'm a Marine, such as "what do you do" , "are you on leave" , "why are you so fat"...
