I've been thinking about that a bit. To me my first carry will be the shouldering of a fairly large responsibility. I personally don't want to treat it in the 'Wally Walk' manner.

It's funny and it's silly and if it works for other people, that's cool, it's just not for me.

That said, I do think there can be a fair bit of value in 'marking out' the first actual public cc as something almost like a right of passage (depending on each individual, of course). In that vein I have plans to take the wife and boys out to do stuff, the first time I carry beyond my property. It'll start with a conversation with my boys about it, it'll end with a very nice dinner. The in-between, I haven't entirely lined up yet, but will likely include at least some shopping, etc.

The wife got her plastic today! 18 days from time we uploaded her docs to mailbox. I believe the DPS backlog from earlier this year has been cleared.

Time to go :fire

Hello! :hurry: :hurry:
I just checked my status and it now shows:
BC: competed
CHL: Manufacturing pending
What that means? Are they going to produce the card or what?
It looks 72 hours to change from BC" under review" to "completed" :hurry:
Please advise me.... :roll:

Most likely, tomorrow morning it will say "Mailed". You will probably get your plastic within the next 10 business days.

btw, forum rules limit signature lines to no more than 4. :shock: :rules:

Congrats.

72 hours to get your background check done? Sheesh, I've been in "Fingerprints under review" and "BG under review" for 10 days now.

I mailed my application package in on 6/21 and the website updated my status yesterday. The status went from "waiting on required documents" to mailed! Hopefully I will have plastic in my hands in the next week or so.

Is it possible the web status is not in sync with what is actually going on?

I can't really imagine it would take a week to review my background check. Although I suppose that 'In Review' might just be a placeholder for 'we're gonna get to it when we get to it'

I do not think it is accurate. I've been background check: under review since June 22nd.

Finally, this morning as I was told by one of you.. it has been MAILED!!! :txflag: :txflag: :hurry:
It took a total of 19 calendar days from the day they received the docs to mail status or just 4 days from the first web update with BC under review to mailed status..
Wow I'm so happy!

Still no change from bg in review (and the DPS status site has been down for maintenance).

But one nice thing did happen today. I opened the door and there was a package. A package I'd not quite been expecting yet, because they'd said to expect it to get shipped 30 days after order submission, and that would be about ten days from now.

My gun belt is here. 1.5", bull hide, square buckle. When my CHL arrives, I am all set. (Edit: and - I expected it to make a difference. The belt I'd been using to carry at home was a belt made for it but it was a sort of ... I dunno, vinyl or some kind of polymer 'tactical' belt). I'd expected it to make a difference, I really did - but the difference it actually made is way beyond ... I don't really know how to describe it, it just sits good)

I did not really expect that they would be working weekends (I saw the site go down for maintenance yesterday - and I'd expect IT guys to be working weekends - but I didn't really expect them to be processing stuff on the weekend)

I checked this morning just for the heck of it -

Background Check: Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

It is odd that when I go to check my status on the laptop the website still shows under maintenance but when I check on my phone it lets me check on the status.

Either way.......after sitting in BG: under review since June 22nd, I just saw I am in the same boat as you....BG: complete, CHL manufacturing pending!!!!!! :clapping:
