April 2009 Applications

[Utopia54]

Yes this is a good thing. By what we are hearing I suspect the second half of the year will produce more apps than the first half. At this rate in two years everyone will be armed.

I submitted my app about the same time as you did and (like you) I check every day and (like you) checked this morning and the status was "processing". Your post encouraged me to check once more time - and (like you) "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active". What took you so long to get OUR CHLs issued?

For me, I forgot to fill in 2 boxes on one fingerprint card, and 1 box on the other. I received the "letter" on june 26, which was exactly Day 60 from the receipt at DPS. Sep 2 is Day 64 (best guess) of second receipt of completed application.

My total time waiting for this status is 124 days

Had a bad day at work, came home and saw my envelope on the table. I can finally say the wait is over. Does anyone else have good news today??

There's good news all over the boards....I even saw a July app that is completed!!! Not mine, though.... Congratulations to all!

I GOT PLASTIC!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



EDIT:

Loading up to go to Wally World right now...

I'm running the Wally Walk, Super Covert Edition. Going with some friends who will have no idea I'm carrying
Going to take a full size 1911 as well Cover Garment: T-shirt and Cargo pants
We'll see if THEY notice, let alone anyone in wal-mart

If I can pull off a full size 1911, in wal-mart, with a group of friends next to me the entire time, and noone noticing, I'm pretty sure I'll have the confidence to not worry about it from now on :P

[Aladinbama]

Nothing here - May and June were bad enough, but now July
Whew, this has been a pain. I hope it's over soon.

I hear Hurricane Aladinbama is due to hit next Wednesday - I hope delivered plastic is able to re-direct that storm
At least I still have part of a sense of humor

[Kinetikz]

Thanks guys, I think Im going to hang around until all the April guys get their plastic.

This sucks!!! I'm still waiting on plastic and mine was sent out on the 29th DPS said.

Is plastic coming in normal US Postal mail or some other special delivery?

normal USPS is the usual method .

Generally a grand total of two days from Austin to Pearland. A lot of "stuff" has been mailed back and forth to Austin from here. Gee, wonder if I was exposed to more DPS talk (the tell him what he wants to hear method, but it's going to take us - DPS - another week!).
Dum-de-dum-de-dum, I'm here and waiting. And to think way back when I applied for it I was hoping it would be in hand by the first of July - boy was that wishful thinking or what?
