This will not make Carl or Bill feel any better, but I'm still checking the mail for my plastic. Twice a day. :totap: My XD .45 compact is here, but I'm not going to pick it up until my plastic is in hand. :cryin

Don't worry XnTx, when I see mailed I plan on pitching a tent next to the mail box... I hope it gets there soon. For me? no updates, still on BG under review.

New to the forum - was told about in in my CHL class. Lots of great info. Looking forward to learning more.

Anyone know if DPS tracks how many times you log in to check on the status of your application? Mine is probably through the roof. :mrgreen: Now that I know I've cleared the background check, you might think I could just wait for the license to arrive in the mail? I wouldn't take that bet if I were you!

Good for you Carl. Now I think I can take on the role of elder statesman here! Not that I want to....

BTW, the web site is down again tonight.

Your probably more than halfway there. Mine took 32 days from them receiving to plastic. Some have gotten it even faster! Good Luck.
