Just introducing myself.
I come from Alabama, moved to the Yakima Valley a few years back with my wife.
I've been a gun owner for quite some time, and a CPL holder for a long time as well. I never really worried about anti-gun laws, carry restrictions, or gun bans. My wife and I are expecting our first child in December, and it struck me, rather suddenly, that I have a real responsibility to preserve my child's rights. That has to be my first job. Protect my family from all threats, physical or otherwise. If he/she wants to carry a firearm later on in life, I want that to be an option. Should my child choose to not carry or own a weapon, that will be a choice he/she gets to make, not the government. Not for myself, my child, or any other American.
Still a little nervous about open carry, but I'll get there at some point in the near future.
Thanks for listening.
