Thank you.I have been a member of USCCA since 2011. I have been a firearms enthusiast (Gun nut) since I was 8 years old. I have been carrying concealed since the 1990’s. I lived in California until last October when my wife and I left and moved back to North Central Idaho. California was just getting too crazy.

Hey Everyone! Glad to have joined this community. I am a first generation American. My parents legally immigrated here from Cuba in the 60s. My father was a Marine and my wife’s family were life long Airforce members.
With two kids of our own my wife and I are glad to exercise our 2nd amendment rights and be able to join a community like this one.
God Bless.

Thank you. Old guy here. I’ve concealed carried for 5 decades and never found myself needing my firearm. I plan to do my best to continue that record. My simple rule is to pay attention, avoid trouble, don’t look like a victim, stay unnoticed, but stay prepared. I’m a active hunter with archery being a first love and quail hunting mixed in. I fish fresh and salt water, scuba dive, spear fish, and enjoy most everything outdoors related. We eat what I shoot or catch. My wife wonders why I need “all those guns”, but she never gives me grief about adding one more. Glad to be here.

First time on this community. Great to see all the people that are like minded and still believe in the 2A. I’m a retired U.S. Army Veteran. I EDC a Glock 43 and proud to have USCCA in my wallet just in case I ever have to defend my family or myself. Spend most of my days with my wife making wood projects, you can check them out at Sawdustslayer.com On the weekends you can find me touring the backroads on my Harley Davison with my wife on her CanAm Spyder. Good to get to know all of you and look forward to your shared experiences.

Hey Sawdust,
It looks like you have some fun hobbies! And riding the bike with the wife, fun. My brother has a Harley and his wife has no interest in it, bummer. Nice website and work you do. Thanks for your service man!

You are absolutely right! Education is key, dosen’t matter what you carry without the education it will not matter. I’m so glad others recognize this too! Looking forward to learning and discussing so much with each of you.

Thomas86, I have been through the VA process and the medical BS that goes with it. If you need to vent or any advise I’ll be happy to help or just listen. Thank you for your service.
