1st day on site and already out of waiting room

[azaohoe]

I just found this site today when I typed "how long do I have to wait for my CHL" in Google. This site popped up, and I checked it out...I was thrilled to see I was not the only one freaking out about getting my CHL in a (somewhat) timely manner. Well, I was going to get on and put myself in the waiting room, then I checked the mail.....WOOOHOOOO... It came in! Only 78 days !

Now I have many things to do as I had no idea that I am not official until I "Wally Walk" (try Googling that!).....my wife says it's official...I'm nuts....

Anyway, here are the specifics...

Class: 12/03/06
Paperwork Received: 12/15/06
"License Issued" according to DPS website: 2/26/07
Plastic in Hand: TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!! 78 days? That's too long IMO, especially at $140.00! But, better than never, I guess.

Remember, you're not a gun nut, but a gun enthusiast!

Well, I was going to get on and put myself in the waiting room, then I checked the mail.....WOOOHOOOO... It came in! Only 78 days !

Now that's the way to do it!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

Congrats on getting your plastic.
I hope that mine does not take that long. I am at about 40 days and waiting. I was hoping to get it before March 15 because I will be going out of town for the week and dont want to worry about taking my handgun with me. Plus I wanted to get my Wally Walk done before we left for the trip.

I have to qualify my excitement at getting my plastic in 78 days....I was so forlorn after 77 days that I found this site and read that some had waited over 100 days... That freaked me out big-time. So when I checked the mail the same evening and I had my card, I was just overjoyed...
I have to admit though that I was also let down just a little bit.....After all of this time and all of the excited trips to the mail box, I was expecting something more than just a plain envelope with nothing more than the card in it....
I guess maybe I expected some confetti to pop out or something...maybe a little musical card playing "We Are The Champions"....heck, anything but a plain white envelope. Ahhh well, it will all be worth it when I get my Wife out with me to the store and ask "does this holster make me look fat?"

I have to admit, if it was not this long, and this hard, it might not seem so rewarding...
