From August 27 to November 15 was my time in the waiting room. Well, the wait is over. License is in the wallet. Now to settle in on a carry method that fits my lifestyle. And the beat goes on.................

What the heck does "manufacturing" mean. After 58 days, they say they are manufacturing. I guess that is progress.

Sounds to me that you have a solution. If DPS contacts you, just tell them what happened. They should not complain since it was their error.

It has been several weeks now that I get the same message from the DPS site. They say they have received all my required documents, but say finger prints and background check has to be reviewed. Is there something else I need to do to expedite the process?

Talk about unloading your gun......

You may be right about Marines. I am 71 and have never felt vulnerable a day in my life. Only recently have considered a CC. I have traversed some rough areas of Houston for over 25 years. Maybe the Marine experience planted that in me or maybe I am oblivious to the realities that swirl about.

...that kind of behavior makes the news, like the fat pig punching a handcuffed suspect, and a lot of harm is done to the image of our law enforcement officers...it's hard to wear the badge and know that people like this are part of what society thinks we are...the greater majority of law enforceme...

Problem: History does not fit the form. Under residence history, the requirement is to list all residences and dates without gaps. I have had a permanent address at the same location in Texas since May of 2005. However, during that time, I spent about 2 years in Hong Kong in a temporary position. A...
