I dropped the whole packet in the mail (class completion, online app, prints, photos, etc) and checked with the post office to confirm that it was delivered April 24. However, like a lot of you, my online status is still "Packet mailed to applicant". So here I sit with the rest of you.

Different tangent that I asked on another forum; while you're waiting, have you guys already purchased your CHL gear (quality gun belt, holster, etc)? Some of that isn't trivial in cost (upwards of $80-$150 combined), so I wonder whether people who are here get their stuff while they wait or do they wait for the actual plastic before buying their gear?

GC 411.177. Issuance or Denial of License.
(b) The Department shall, no later than the 60th day after the date of the receipt by the director's designee of the completed application materials:
(1) issue the license
(2) Notify the applicant in writing that the application was denied

They have a real good loop hole here because how are we to know when it was received by the Director's Designee, and who is that person? Well I am going to wait. I was wonder as well if anyone that was a veteran or knows of a veteran if the process might be faster if they help a security clearance (which requires and FBI Background check) if they move any faster. I have had so many background checks in the past because of Military service and current employment. I have never known one to take more than a few weeks at the most.

I know that I am going to be a weba-holic checking all the time, cant help it .
