I....I....I....I....don't believe it. I checked last night(Tues) at 2330 and it read same old thing "processing application".

I just got up and at 0654 I checked, logged out and checked again because I didn't believe what I saw(hadn't had my first cup of coffee yet) and it said:

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active !!!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!! I knew this was coming!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joe817]

Thanks Kevin & Arnold! And NAVY CHEIF, you're right. Time to start waiting again, this time on the mail. It seems like that's all I've done is wait since I applied online. Well at least it's nearing the end. Phew.

This sounds like something I’ve heard before “hurry up and wait”. Does that sound familiar Navy Chief?

[lonewolf]

Definitely sounds familiar to me........hurry up and wait......

Joe, you're on the downhill slide. You'll probably see the card by the end of the week....or early next week.......Have you been trying on holsters? Is your wardrobe in order?

[Kevinf2349]

Is your wardrobe in order?

I hear that one. I am currently having to replace most of mine...of course that is nothing to do with the expanding waistline and it is all about concealing the gun. I often ask my wife "Does this gun make me look fat?" her answer is usually "No your fat makes you look fat"

[lonewolf]

Yeah, there is definitely no concealing the waistline. The older I get, the more area there is.

I am in shape.

Round is a shape.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.......

Actually, I don't even have a suitable holster. I have all the Hawaiian shirts I need! It looks like I'll be carrying in a pocket my little Colt Gov't 380 until a suitable holster can be found. In fact I'm gonna need 2 holsters. 1 for the Colt & 1 for the Ruger. But at least I've narrowed down my choice to 4 holsters for each gun.

LW, I sure hope you're right about when it'll come in. That would be nice to do the W.W. over the weekend.

[Kevinf2349]

Ah yes...nothing says "carrying" like a nice Hawaiian shirt (if that isn't an oxymoron)

Joe, I just bought a nice casual sport jacket that goes great with jeans, at Macy’s regular 275.00 on sale for 60.00. They are having their end of year sale. You don’t have to go Hawaiian all the time!!!

Thanks seadog, I'll check that out! (but I happen to like Hawaiian shirts! Have half a dozen of them...Jimmy Buffet style! )

Hi Eddie!
Welcome Aboard shipmate! I hope you don't have to wait long!
You mentioned not living 24/7 with your "26", why?

"Carry" on!

Hooyah!

In the summer I usually dress in shorts and a T-shirt. No place to conceal. Also when we eat out, I like to start with a Martini. The two don't mix well. There are some other reasons and restrictions.

Yep, you don’t want to mix the two, you can always change your schedule on that Martini and have it when you get home. If you should be attacked while out in the evening I think you would rather have your piece than that Martini.
A nice Ruger LCP 380 in the pocket of the shorts is a heck of a lot better than nothing at all.

The LCP sounds like a good idea. If I get the CHL in time, I'll put one on my Christmas list.

Congratulations Joe!! Hawaiian shirts ROCK!....
WW with pictures coming soon, I suspect...
