Congratulations Joe!

Patience. What a concept, eeh? Now, I hope I can show it!

"Carry" on!

Hooyah!

I've been lurking around this forum since early August - excellent forum and very informative. I have learned alot just reading through old posts.

I just checked the DPS website and it switched over to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" I figured it was time to finally join the forum!

I took the class 8/10 and mailed my app 8/11. Another friend of mine at work submitted his app in late July and had his plastic by late September. Another work friend who took the class with me called DPS last week to get his pin number and they told him his application was nearly finished.

Based on my personal experience and what I've been reading in the forum recently, it appears the DPS gridlock has started to unwind quite a bit.

Model 1898 Krag (.30-40)
Model 1917 (.30-06)
Model 1917 Sporter (.30-06)
Model 1903A3 (.30-06)

Marlin 1895 (.45-70)
JC Higgins Model 31 (.22LR)
Savage Model 3 (.22)

Shotguns:
Rem 870 12 ga
Rem 11-48 28 ga

Pistols:
Ruger P97 (.45 ACP)
Taurus PT1911 (.45 ACP)
Polish P64 (9x18 Mak)
Colt Woodsman (.22LR)
Bersa 380 CC (wifes pistol)

I plan to carry my 1911 on most occasions and the P64 when the wardrobe won't allow the 1911. I like the P97, but its a bit thick for CC. I keep it close at hand for home use. As far as the "Wally Walk", we have a Walmart close by but I'm not in there very often. I suspect my first "social event" will be at the local Brookshires as that's where we typically shop:)

wow
nice assortment .

[kragluver]

I do like the guns - especially old ones Rifle and pistol shooting are my favorite. I love to tinker with guns - it really is an addiction, isn't it??

I bet your good to go here any day friend. I can say the web sight changed to License Active ( or something to that nature) and it was in my mailbox within 48 hours. So the application was approved/sent to the printers/printed/and mailed before the web sight even reflected it was approved.
