Re: April 2009 Applications
No Wally walk yet but so far we (the good lady and I) have carried our firearms (Glock 19 & Bersa Thunder 380 CC) into Carter's Country, then to lunch in Applebees.
Came home swapped guns with each other and went to church. We are a very 'huggy'church but nobody asked me what was tucked into my waistband.
Went to a gun store and picked up a new gun for the wife too...Springfield XD-9...sweet gun...but she is worth it.
This was my first real day for carrying and once the initial suspicion that everyone could see through my pants had gone the comfort level of carrying was pretty easy. Just forget it is there and act naturally and the public won't even bat an eyelid.

Re: April 2009 Applications
I decided to call DPS today, just hung up the phone with a nice person who answered. I was told that all the information is in and she would give my info to the supervisor to send it off for printing. Status on-line showed "Process...." so well see if that changes soon, I will be check daily now!

That's exactly what I did. I simply called, and talked to a very nice person who said they would send it through. Couple weeks later I had my plastic.
