My response to you is that your experience to get a DL was rediculous! That is not the normal scenario. It was way easier for me, my wife and all three of my kids to get a DL. than a CHL. The question you should be asking is why is the beauracracy at the DL office so incompetent. I do not agree tha...

I want to talk about something a little off topic but I want to hear from CHL holders. Can anyone explain or provide comments to this point. I had a harder time getting a Texas Driver License then I had getting a CHL. I know the CHL has the waiting process, but I'm not talking about that. I'm referr...

That may have been the case. I'm just glad I have it now. Once the BC was complete, manufacturing and mailing went quickly, one day for each. I received in the mail on Aug 28th.

Finally my background check is complete.

Background check finally complete.

Ok, not really total time, but waiting for that darned background check has been crazy. It was hard watching people receive plastic who mailed their package around the time, or after, I mailed my package and I'm not even out of background check. Again, clean record (other than a few ticket in my pas...

OH YEH!!!

After 7 weeks of waiting for the background check to complete, the DPS website shows it's complete with manufacturing pending. And that's from the first date the site was updated to reflect my status. I mailed my package on June 20th which is 9 weeks of total wait time.

Sadly, there wouldn't be any opposition if he had said the guys were Mexican or Black. But I agree with what he did and I would have done the same thing. I don't open my door for anybody. If I have a guest coming or expecting a package, I open the door. And everyone who comes to my house knows to ca...

Speaking of carrying without a holster. There was a young "kid" (he just made the legal age) in the class I took who wants to carry his weapon in his waistband. I tried to tell him how dangerous this can be and since we were in a Bass Pro Shop taking the class, I even showed him holsters t...

Hard to say what's the reason for getting it faster or slower. I've had a clearance since 1986 and was investigated and upgraded to a higher clearance in 1988. My reinvestigation was conducted last year without a problem. I have never been arrested and have nothing more than a couple of speeding tic...

Good luck.

Hopefully you wait is shorter than mine. I've seen a few on here mail around the same time as me or after and get their plastic. But I still wait.

I mailed June 20, delivered, June 21, and status updated on July 3.

Man, I mailed mine on the June 20th too and I'm still waiting on the background check.

I guess I'll be a long waiter. Some of you have your plastic and I sent my package in before you. I would have mailed it sooner but I had a death in my family so I had to travel home. But I still put it in before some of you I see and you are still getting yours back quicker. Darn background check. ...
