Thanks all for the warm welcome. I'll try to offer a more complete into, and answer the questions that have been asked.
I live in Pleasant Grove
I have not as yet taken the CCW class, Have selected a few classes and had my schedule fall through multiple times. I am still anxious to take the class and get the paperwork started.
I am considering a 9mm. I like the Bersa and CZ line of handguns. In CZ I have whittled it down to a 75 compact or a PCR. In Bersa, I like the 9 uc. I also like EAA handguns. Always interested in your feedback/experience. I have reloaded in the past, will take that up again. I enjoy reloading.
I have taught karate one night a week for many years. My daughter also teaches. She will also teach a women's self defence class, focuses on unarmed, practical self defence.
I have a few initial questions which I will post in the general carry forum.
Thanks again for the great welcome. I'm happy to be here.
