I think the postman screwed him... but I think that will get fixed tomorrow.

I just completed my "preliminary" WW :). Not the full thing - I only had ball ammo in .45, so I needed to get some JHP. My other guns aren't really sized for carry, so I just took the kimber in unloaded and bought ammo @ walmart. So, I will have to revisit my wally walk tomorrow. I *did* load a clip and carry into chick-fil-a afterward though. I chose that one b/c there were two LEOs inside... I wanted a challenge :)

Well, I got mine today! I am certainly not gloating, just trying to give you hope that yours is just around the corner :)

time to prepare for my wally walk!

Where are you located? I am almost in Denton... it's a good 3.5 hours from my house to the DPS office in Austin (4 if I drive slow). Mail usually takes 2 days to get to/from Austin. I bet we're getting them today... I'm going to leave work early to meet the mailman at the curb :-D

yeah, I was one of the guys who didn't get his plastic today. At least I can still go to the range to relieve the stress of waiting :)

Mine's been "manufacturing" (according to the site) since Tuesday. If they don't drop it in the mail tomorrow, it'll definitely be over 60 days for me.

ouch... well hopefully the first person was correct!

I posted this on another thread, but I called today and the girl I talked to apparently got it pushed through to manufacturing!

I'm right on the line between feb and march... see my sig for dates. and yes... I'm still waiting :(

You may not be aware but after March 1st the DPS only accepts FAST prints from L1, so if your prints do get rejected you wont be able to get them redone for free at the place that did the ink prints(unless L1 did the ink?). So I would hold off on getting those digital prints from the place that did your ink prints, as it will be a waste of time and money.

Now if for some reason they "grandfather" in your application/prints, then never mind this post, lol.

I'm pretty sure my ink prints were taken by the FAST (Fingerprint Applicant Services of Texas) program. The lady who did them introduced herself as working for FAST, but I'm not sure how that all fits together. I know that I paid for it once, and I did not have control over how they turned out. If they are rejected, why should I be required to pay again? I really hope they don't get rejected and I just don't have to worry about it :)

I think the above is true, especially when they're waiting on BG check stuff. I'm pretty sure that is handled by an outside party, so it's sort of a "when we know something, you will know something". I'm as anxious as anyone else, so I definitely understand the urgency. I've just decided to wait until I hear something from them. They're not going to forget about me, and my calling isn't going to make anything go any faster. As much as I'd love a realtime status... it'll happen when it happens.
