And don't forget - one of the original reasons for the inclusion of the 2nd amendment in the Constitution is if we, the people, lose control of our government ... we can force it to change. And with these latest 'antics' of Pelosi and Obama, it sure looks like the government is not paying attention ...

My license arrived today. One month after I mailed in the paperwork and 29 days from the day it was received in Austin. Pretty cool! Congrats! :hurry: I was happy when my CHL instructor said we'd probably get ours the first week of Feb. To get them in just about a month is awesome! Edited for typin...

Springfield XD9, with 15 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense, ready and waiting for things that go bump in the night.

Got my license in the mail today. Time out for a quick woo-hoo <Woo-Hoo!> I couldn't go anywhere today, 'cause Arkansas was playing East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl (Ark won - 20-17 in OT - another Woo-Hoo!). Can't go tomorrow, 'cause I have a Cowboys game at 3:15pm, which means leaving the house a...

My guess is that they update their website overnight for the previous day's activity. A few of us have noticed that checking early in the morning showed the application to be completed even after checking the previous night. If my guess is correct, checking multiple times during the day won't show a...

I had hoped that the plastic would arrive today, although it's just a little soon. I was hoping to have it before the post office shutdown over New Year's. Ah, well .. patience is a virtue (so I've been told). It'll be here in the new year .. maybe Saturday?

While the DPS website is better than nothing, it would be kinda nice if they could list what's going on with it - such as waiting for background check from xxxx county, or whatever. As it is now, once the status reaches processing application, it'll be stuck there for a long time with no change unti...

Holy Moly! I checked my status at DPS yesterday before I left work for the day (5:30pm) and my status was Processing Application. I checked this morning and the status is now Application Completed - license issued or certificate active. I would never have thought it would have been this quickly. Gue...

It looks like I won't be joining the 30 day club. Didn't think I would, 'cause I've lived in two counties in the past 8 years (Dallas/Kaufmann) and that appears to be a key - one county, and a large county at that. Still, though, I really didn't expect to get it so quick - although I had hopes. I su...

Looks like I'm also in the Dec group that's waiting (im)patiently. I'm not bouncing off the walls or anything during the wait 'cause I've got enough to do right now to keep me busy. That's an advantage to this time of the year, I think. After Jan 1, tho, cabin fever will start to settle in. That's w...
