Ditto, but mine received on the 31st.

I'm settled in for the long haul. Not really gonna worry about it until 60 has passed.

I see you're in League City. Where did you take your class? Who took your prints?

High definition film production for NASA, Discovery, PBS, etc. We also produce feature length documentaries, concerts and live events.

I own a business that does contract work with NASA. I've had two full-up, no-kidding FBI background checks, and each of my employees have also been scrutinized. The checks for CHL are basic records searches, and seem to take hardly any time at all. They can do it in sixty seconds, as its all computerized.

If the Feebs really do an in-depth check - as is the case with me, my company, and employees - it takes months.

As in four to six.

They send letters to your employer, your friends, your neighbors - even the ones who don't like you - and make random, in-person visits if there is any suspicious or occasionally unlawful activity in your backgound. If you are selected for a personal interview, you get the full FBI treatment. Suits, badges, unexpected out-of-the-blue visit, long silences with blank expressions so that you will nervously fill the empty places with inane chatter, the whole nine yards.

Talk about pins and needles.

Waiting 60 days for a carry license? Its the blink of an eye!
