If I can't get away and fear for my life I’m pulling out my weapon. Also, someone mentioned pulling your weapon and the n...

Thanks Tornado. It appears CHL-16 might have missed an update. Thanks for the link, I have read some info on that sight for new laws under review by the Texas congress and didn't even thank to look at the Penal Code there.

Confirmed my fear today. Called DPS to ask why my background review was still being done when people who sent their packet in after me were already getting their CHL.
