Opinion Time!!!

I think that it is perfectly normal to feel anxious when it comes to wanting something like this to come in the mail. I know for certain that I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of said CHL.
However, I think we as a community need to take a few things into consideration.
1. There's a LOT of us out there. The increase of licensees every year is two things: a) encouraging that more people are exercising their 2nd Amdnt and b) a considerable workload increase for those issuing the licenses. sure, it's terrible to have to wait, 'specially for something like this, but thinking logistically, the licensure department needs more people.
2. If we are to tell the "anti" community that we, CHL'ers, are a wholesome group of folks, and that we undergo an extensive background check yadda yadda, we have to be accepting of the period of time it takes to undergo said rigorous process. Yes, I disagree that we should all have to go through it in the first place. However, at the moment, it's their party, and if we want to attend, we must abide by their rules. Otherwise, we can all just move to Alaska, and strap a boomstick to our collective legs.

that all being said, patience is a virtue, and one easier spoken than adhered.
