I received my card on November 20. Almost exactly one month longer than it took for my wife to receiver hers. About two months for her, three months for me.

The wife and I mailed our applications on the same day, 8/29/09. She received her card on 10/22/09. Mine is still "Processing Application."

Now at one time I had a top secret clearance, a BI that would make Obama's look like kindergarten work, and an Honorable Discharge. The wife? No security classification, ever. No military service.

Gee, think that gender might have something to do with it?

Weeellllll? Wadder the guns you posted elsewhere?

USA1 - Thanks for the URL!

I'll head over to the User Control Panel and start investigating.

I was just trying to find out if the picture function worked the same here as on the SMF forums. I bought some Swiss Rubin K-31's a few years ago and one had a totally rusted barrel under the wood. So bad that it was a wall hanger. I used to refinish stocks for a living so I took that one and refinished it to "look like" it was arsenal fresh. In fact it's just a hunk of hardware so I didn't feel bad destroying what collector value it might have had.

Durn it, my server is down........................

Thanks for the welcome, guys! I'm from Katy. Well, that's the mailing address but we're actually in Ft. Bend county. Closest town is Fulshear. Most of my on-line time is spent on the SKSboards which I own and operate. We try really hard to be a "family" board like this one but we don't have restrictions on the "hot" topics, religion, abortion, and the like so it does get lively at times.

I saw above that there is a way to check on-line status of the license application. Before I just blunder around the DPS website is there a specific url that I'll need to go to?

Well, I guess this is where we belong. We mailed all the paperwork on August 29 so it's really only been a month. I'm hearing that they are actually getting a bit caught up, whatever that might mean.

So I'll be carrying a Sig P6 (P225) and the wife has a Glock 19. Both a little large but that's what we have now. We'll be cruising the boards trying to figure out the best "long term" carry for each of us.

Anyway, this place seems to be a friendly and respectful environment. Wonder if Heinlein (?) had this place in mind when he said "An armed society is a polite society."
