Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) I am older bordering on ancient (76). I have had carry permits for a total of around 26 years getting my first while I was in the Army in Connecticut. I have had a Calif. permit in two locations for close to 22 yrs. I have permits from CA, ID, OR, AR, and UT and it still doesn’t cover all the states. I am retired from having a small Clinical Lab Supply company. My wife is handicapped from side effects from a Glioblastoma brain tumor with which she has survived 8 years which is a miracle and rare.
