Just finished the CHL class and got the first-time packet sent off. Time to buckle down for the long-haul, I guess.
I need a better holster too...

Welcome alric. The time will pass. What are you going to carry & what holster are you looking at? There may be some help on the board for that too.

I have a Baby Eagle .40S&W compact right now, in an Uncle Mike's in the pants band holster. A friend recommended Smartcarry, but other than that I don't really have many ideas.
I have issues reholstering with the current holster. It folds closed after I draw, and pretty much takes 2 hands to re-holster the weapon, which seems problematic to me at best.
EDIT: Spelling!

Nothing here to even offer as something to try. I understand that Baby Eagle is one fine shooter but that there are not many holsters available for them. This may be a learning experience for all of us. Any of you Eagle shooters out ther have suggestions

You might be able to get in touch with Tucker, or Milt Sparks, and they may be able to work up a custom rig for ya.

Ugh. I've been waiting to take a class since sometime in May, so I thought this wait would be easy.
Well guess what. There is almost not a day that has gone by I've not wondered just how much longer it will be... and I'm barely 10 days into the wait!

I think I'm getting ahead of myself, but what is this "Walmart Walk" I keep hearing about? I look around in other threads and people talk about it! No idea what it is though.

Simple: once you have license in hand, where's the place you're most likely to go?
Most everybody goes to Wal Mart more than they go anywhere except their own job. When you get the plastic, stick it in your wallet, holster your pistol, go to Wal Mart, and enjoy the freedom of legally carrying a concealed handgun in public.
It's quite liberating.

I even bought more ammo while I was there on my first trip. My wife got quite a good laugh from it all. I must have asked her 10 times "Am I printing?"

Okay, it makes sense now, I suppose. I only go to Walmart to buy ammo though. And occasionally some food, if fast food gets too expensive or I start feeling more health conscious.
Whats this about nachos then? And my fiancee already gets printing questions often.

9/21. No PIN #, no CHL.

You sent your packet about a week after I did. I received my PIN number on 9/20. You should get it any day now.

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy the wisdom that is on here. It's like no other forum you will encounter. Very friendly folks.
As far as the nacho's, in days of old (before McDonalds moved into Walmart) they sold nacho's at the snack counter. As the saying goes, go get some nacho's ment to actually go get some, get comfortable carrying, and see how many people did not notice.
