Welcome! Several years ago I was introduced to target shooting as a sport. I learned to enjoy time at the range as a hobby and introduced my family to shooting as well. As I researched more about being a responsible gun owner I have come to appreciate our right to defend our families in and out of our own homes. I am a husband and a father to three boys. We enjoy the outdoors and spend a lot of time camping, boating, hiking and traveling on long car trips. Being defenseless out in the open is what motivated me to obtain my NC Concealed Carry Permit. It gives me peace of mind knowing I am better prepared to defend myself and others against an attack, either walking an urban street or hiking along a forest trail.
