I have had my MA LTC for about 3 years and have been unable to purchase my first CCW. I am 57 years old, work very hard. But it seems the harder I work the less I have. What with taxes, entitlements, government programs, the recipient class, there just isnt much left for my wife and two teenage sons. Im not looking for sympathy, just wanted to say it would be nice to be able to protect my family. The LC9 package is a very generous giveaway and I can only hope for some beginners luck. One never knows. I am looking forward to browsing the site and forums. My 16 year old son turned me on to the Ruger LC9 when we attended the Springfield MA gun show in December of 2011. Weve been looking ever since, still trying to scrape together that 400 dollars. Enough about me, good luck to everyone. Mr.Freedom
