Re: March 2009 Applications

Welcome to the board! Wally-walk is what you do after you have received your CHL. You get your handgun and conceal it and take a walk around Wal-Mart. Its your own test to yourself on concealment.

Re: March 2009 Applications

I got home from work today and the SO told me that I had some mail that he picked up for me. Nothing weird yet. He hands me my mail piece by piece. A magazine (TSRA), my TXU refund, my graduation present (Gadsden Flag shirt), then says I got a letter from the state of Texas......OMG! That envelope w...

Re: March 2009 Applications

Crawl, are you kidding? Why call? Have you been reading any of the posts on this forum? It took 106 days for my application to be completed and I'm not even in Harris County. No point in calling. Be patient, my friend. You mailed your stuff quite a bit after I did. Have you gotten your card in the ...
