Hey, maybe I could petition Hussein for some of the "StealFromUs" package to assist DPS in issuing CHL's? On second thought, I doubt Hussein is pro CHL. :banghead:

Just let me know when I go over the forum sarcasm limit... :lol::

Day 70.

I felt so good about it today, I knew I'd see those magic words, I just had a feeling, an intuition if you will, but I rolled the dice and came up snake eyes, again. :cryin I told my wife when I finally do get the plastic, we're going to the best non 30.06 steakhouse in town.

I'd quite like mine to get its skates on so that I can avoid a delay with NICS next week when I collect my second purchase, but nothing has moved yet. It would be nice.............(and mine should be easy, I've only been stateside for 10 months).............but I shan't hold my breath as I'm still a few days shy of the 60 :totap:

Day 72, emailed DPS yesterday, no repsonse yet. I can't imagine what 200 days of this would be like and hope I never know.

Day 75 and counting. I've still had no response from DPS. I've had no issues from my app, been "processing" since the beginning. Maybe tomorrow....

Nothing here yet, same 'ol Processing App. thing... I'll e-mail my state rep towards the end of the week. I learned a long time ago that if someone wants you to do something, ya better hurry up and do it. But when ya ask someone to do something for you, just sit around and wait a while, then a little longer, then a while longer and ya might get a result.. Doesn't matter if you paid for it, or it's free, thats just the way it is.. So... I'm not getting in any hurry. Now if it gets around 100 days ya might hear me complain, a lot :lol:

A couple of weeks ago I had a good feeling in my bones that they were catching up and sorting out. This week I'm not so sure and so I'm preparing myself for another month. On the plus side I have a new gun to collect tomorrow and that atleast is right on time :fire
