But I don't want a day in the sun! I just want my license! Besides, I burn much to easily.

Just in a good mood today.

My wife has taken to stopping by Acadmey when she is in the general area to try and get ammo. Apparently she missed the elusive 380 by a mere couple of hours today (I bet they say that to everyone!). She is a real gem. She has taken to carrying where ever she is permitted and even looks and tries guns on her own...something she would never have done last year.

I did bag some 45 tonight. 250 rounds of Remmington for $95. I always feel good when I get to add to the stockpile. I only had 75 rounds before tonight and I am getting to where I like at least 500 per gun for each caliber. Still a little bit low on 45 but I know where I can get some at least.

that's a good woman you have there .
i feel fortunate in the same respect .

just last night i was telling her how i've improved on my pocket draw (LCP)
and she said "let me see"

My hats off to both of you fellows for marrying good, understand, helpful women!

[lazypineapple]

you said you were a feb app. And she was a march app.
You bugged them and your got yours quicker buy 30 days or so.
I think that's the same bro.

So, for those of you who are curious about whether bugging DPS and your state reps helps, I have a little anecdotal evidence. We ran a little experiment in my house since I was very anxious for my license and my wife was interested but not quite as obsessed. As soon as I hit day 60, I was all over it. I called DPS every 10 days or so, I emailed and called my state rep and state senator on many occasions. I bugged the crap out of them. I received my "Active" notification on Day 143 (Harris County).

We made no contacts on my wife's whatsoever. She had no issues with the paperwork just as I didn't as she only had checks in Harris County just as I did.
The only difference was that I was an early February application and she was early March. She received her "active" notice on Day 179.

So, while perhaps it should be taken with a barrel of salt, in our situation, bugging them allowed me to get it a month faster than she got hers.
