Based on when you got them taken, they should have received them by now, and I doubt they should still be listed as under review. The BG still listed as under review is understandable.

Thanks for the info, I will give them a few days and call back and be more specific.

Called DPS, 3 - 6 weeks for review, no explanation. I must have reached the wrong person or I didn't know what to ask....ugh. This is like waiting for Christmas for a 5 year old.

Very Nice!!

It is sort of fitting to get these updates today (wish I were one of them). A day we all remember the terrible injustice to so many innocent people and a day so many everyday men and women rose to true HERO status, giving their lives to save those innocents. We cannot forget how we can be lulled into a state that we don't pay attention to the atmosphere around us. Stay alert!

Congrats to those receiving the positive updates today!

It is useless I bet you have an iPhone or a droid with a data plan. You will be pulling over constantly to check.

Yup, you are right. I have already thought about that, but a lot of the area we are going, I can't get reception...not THAT will drive me crazy.

You know, when I decided to get CHL, I had not really planned on carrying that much...mostly on bike trips. But now, if I ever get it, I will carry 24/7!

I have a question...why can I go to a gunshow and get background check in a matter of minutes and it takes so long going through CHL channels. I don't mean to be anxious (BUT I AM). I am sure there are other things involved, but it just makes me wonder.

Oh...gotta check status

Hi all!
New guy here from Houston. My first update was Aug 27th and now only checking status 12 times daily...thought I would be the cool head about it.

I will be carrying Springfield XD40 and I received my IWB holster from Brian Ragsdale (http://www.ragsdaleholsters.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) this morning and just cannot contain myself. I had to share. I am totally new to carrying and have had this holster on (around the house) for maybe 20 minutes and it is sooo comfortable. I can see after I get used to the fact of carrying a weapon (after wally walk) I could easily forget that it is even there. If you are in the market for new holster or to update your holster, I suggest checking Brian out. Awesome product, great price and seems like a great guy.

Now, it has been at least 10 minutes since I checked my status, so I better go check.
