Deanna- oops, we x-posts.
I think I KWYM about a police officer who doesn't get paid. I have an uncle who did something like that. OIC, qualify to carry. DH is going to a competition this weekend and I guess there is some kind of qualification that ranks you in the organization....I don't understand it all. And YES! Women and concealed is so hard. I actally wanted a SOB holster....but can't find one for my gun yet. I love my hip holster, it's a blackhawk paddle holster, bc it's so easy to draw from......maybe I just need a trench coat! LOL!
Irene- Borrow my gun? That's like me asking to borrow your husband! I'm offended.

I think you should definately come out here. We have lots of great touristy stuff and art galleries...Oh, and skiing!
