-Figured I'd better educate myself on guns if I was gonna get a gun for my son
-Took a bunch of classes, subscribed to a bunch gun magazines, joined the NRA
-Educated myself on gun issues
-Bought my first new handgun, then my second
-Decided to get CCW so I could carry them wherever I wished

That's the path I took. I'm used to carrying the Glock everywhere now. I sometimes carry a second as well.
