2002, after moving to CO. Started carrying daily in early 2001 (but lived in KS that didn't have CCW licenses at the time ... now that I'm back here we have Constitutional Carry ... oh how times have changed).

I started EDCing in 2001 because if the actions of the Carr brothers in December of 2000. I'm relatively certain that I met Johnathan Carr in 96 in the parking lot of the apartment building he would be living in at the time of the events of December 2000 (and he relieved me of some cash and a watch).
