Hi all!

I stumbled upon this forum while researching CC regulations for a weekend trip to a neighboring state. I look forward to discussing things with more like-minded folks.

I finally just received my CFP (53 days from drop-off to reception) after attending several CC classes over the past 10 years; I just never had the spare cash to pay for the licensing while the class certification (usually paid for by an employer) was still current. I also recently moved from Arizona where open carry was less restrictive with a corresponding degrease in motivation for CC. I now live in Taylorsville, UT.

I have been with the Army Special Forces either, National Guard or Active Duty, for over 20 years. I have been to Afghanistan twice, a combat tour to the Philippines, and a contractor in Iraq. In each location open carry was required by regulation and I felt naked without at least something on my hip each time I returned home. It's nice to feel prepared again.
