I have had my ccw for 24 yrs now. I got it when I turned 21, bought my first pistol and 2 days later went and got my ccw. As to why, I always use the saying "I refuse to be a victim". You definatly want to read up on your states laws, the do's and dont's the where's and when's. Each state is different and you can get yourself into a bunch of trouble real easily if you make a mistake. Back when I first got mine here in PA it was kind of a hassle, you first had to go to your local police and get them to sign the forms for you. They called it sponsering you. Then you went to your county sheriff and he issued the permit after he lectured you on how it worked. Then each year you went back to the sheriff and re did it. Now days we have a local outpost close by and you get a 5 yr premit, much easier. Back to the reason for having one, Actually when I was 21 I did payroll runs for the place I worked and it was susgested I obtain one. I also do a lot of target shooting and it makes it easier to transport your weapon to and from the gun range. Craig.
