You and me both brother.
I like the fact that they received my packet on 3/19. My Dad's birthday, many great memories shooting with him, especially when he had his Class III license.

Re: March 2009 Applications
General question about change in status:
Is there a strong likelihood because of the understaffing with the CHL division that your change in status (i.e. from Packet Mailed to App TO Processing App) could be reported much later than when the actual status changing. Just not sure how the updating mechanics work and even with technology I gather its not necessarily automated.
Thanks for any insight!!

Re: March 2009 Applications
Hello to everyone! I was looking around to see how long others were waiting in line... doesn't look good. My Colt Defender .45 will have to wait a little longer. I also ordered an IWB TT Gunleather holster, they are taking about 12 -16 weeks to custom make this. I guess both the CHL and the holster will arrive about the same time. YEA! According to some other dates posted I should see my pin this coming week. Here are my dates:
02/28/09 -- CHL Class Taken
03/04/09 -- Packet mailed to DPS
03/10/09 -- Received by DPS via certified mail
xx/xx/09 -- PIN received
XX/XX/09 -- Application Complete
XX/XX/09 -- Plastic in hand!
02/28/09 -- CHL Class Taken
03/04/09 -- Packet mailed to DPS
03/10/09 -- Received by DPS via certified mail
xx/xx/09 -- PIN received
XX/XX/09 -- Application Complete
XX/XX/09 -- Plastic in hand!
