thanks guys, i carried for the first time last night as well when we went to dinner and to pick up some groceries. my other half pointed out my over cautiousness to keep it concealed a couple times, but after about the first hour it felt a lot more natural. it will take time to get used to the weight as i have not carried at home enough yet, but it was a great feeling knowing i had some protection for us all evening.

Plastic in hand! 35 days to my door once signed for in Austin. Exactly 5 weeks, not bad!

it will take a few days, good luck!

MAILED!!! WOOT!!! Now to see how long it takes from Austin to Dallas! Final step, cant wait!

been checking it twice a day since it went to manufacturing and still no progress! ugh! the last part is the worst!

on a more positive note, my lady friend picked her carry piece finally. we probably went through 4-500 rounds over two days at the range testing out several different models and she ending up picking the new Beretta Nano. Nice little weapon, fit her hand well and it shot great IMO. Picked it up last night at Cabellas, got a decent deal on it too. I picked up a small toy of my own too, nothing too fancy, just a S&W AR15 T :) woot!

ha, only because i was sick, lol...Manufacturing today though and i have checked it 6 times since yesterday

And another! Manufacturing Pending! woot!

not sure when this was actually posted as i did not check all of last week, but hey, progress!

Finally an update! Ugh!

I went strait to under review though, not complaining, just saying...lol

oh yea...shes been browsing...

on a less positive note, my paperwork was signed for and received on Jan 24th, yet my online status still does not reflect it. boo!

and yes, im checking the site like crazy!

sent it in, now to see how lucky i am. anytime by or before the 18th of next month is fine by me.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Finished up the class yesterday at Texas EZ CHL and we both really enjoyed it. The instructor Curtis was very sincere and used a nice multimedia mix to present the information so the class did not seem as long. I will be going back for his advanced course sometime in April.

One more step down, hoping to get it mailed off tomorrow! Woot! Let's hope the wait isn't long, Curtis mentioned a student in his last class had plastic in 21 days, hope I'm that lucky!

Soooo...the fingerprint lady today said she had heard they are at least 6 weeks behind on processing...god i hope not!

Thanks guys! Im hoping for a quick turn around, who isnt right?! lol

In the mean time, there is definitely plenty to read!
