We still haven't heard anything yet either, but I am hopeful for hearing something this coming week based on updates I have seen on the forum in the last few days. Hang in there a little longer and I bet we both will hear something soon.
I hope so buddy, I have high hopes for this coming week. Like to see some progress :totap:

Alright so I guess I'll post one more time. Yesterday after recieving my Chl I did not go do the wally walk but rather my son and I went to the gun store. I bought a Sig P238 Equinox as my first CC weapon. We then went and had lunch at Chilis where I made a trip to the bathroom twice to double check my holster configuration. The new setup unfortunately could not have a dress rehearsal before leaving the gun store. Then we went over to the theater and watched Iron Man 3. Overall the 238 was very comfortable and I never once worried whether anyone would detect the configuration that I had. Iron Man 3 was great by the way. =D


As you folks get your new Chl you should come back and share your first carry experience.

Cheers

It looks like the background review and application review takes about 7 days, does that sound about right?
