Almost 60 days to show anything! But happy with what I see.

2nd update, 5/25 (checked daily):
Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

19 days in background review! (Surprising because I had a Top Secret clearance from the Army, although 15 years ago. I've lived at the same address for 12 years now, and the only time I've left the country was a trip to Canada about 7 years ago.)

At any rate, I'm happy with progress.

Hopefully, I'll update tomorrow with "plastic in hand!"

Time to start stalking the postman. The status changed in the middle of the day (sometime after 1pm) so the previous poster that stated it only updates at 6am is incorrect.

3-28 Fingerprinting session
5-7 Website status changed to Application: Received
5-31 Background check complete
