My son, who is 20 and in the Army, sent in all his paperwork for his CHL toward the end of April. (He had previously done the online application.) He has been away on pre-deployment training for about 5 weeks. Now that he is back in the Lone Star state and has computer access, he checked the status ...

I started shooting with a .357 revolver. My hubby bought a S&W semi-auto, and you should have seen me trying to rack the slide......wasn't happening. I have very large hands for a female (I lay that one at my dad's door, as he has huge hands) and strong fingers (I'm a flutist and organist) but n...

Welcome to the waiting room. You may take my seat.....I got mine yesterday. Mailed 7/1, received 8/9.

Got it today!

I live in a so-so neighborhood. I've had waaaaay too many "magazine salesmen" come to my door through the years. I do have 4 dogs, and when the doorbell rings, all heck breaks loose in my house! Of course, if you came in, they would love you to death, but the person on the other side of th...

I carry at church. I can name at least 4 other ladies at our church that have CHLs. I KNOW there are quite a few guys that carry-not because they've told me, but I just have a really good inkling.....and sometimes we like to talk guns! The associate pastor even asked me last Sunday what I was shooti...

"Mailed" on August 3. Still waiting.......

I play the bugle. More specifically, I sound live Taps for Military Funeral Honors at Houston National, and/or where needed, for our veterans through an organization called http://www.BuglesAcrossAmerica.org . We try to give every veteran Live Taps instead of a recording when possible. :patriot: :t...

Congratulations! That was a quick turnaround! I mailed mine before you and am still waiting. Nice birthday present, too! Enjoy.

Congrats on the plastic and leaving the "waiting room". I'm hoping I get to leave next week!

There is a Ladies' Night at Lone Star Guns, Gallery & Gear in Weatherford. It is half price, Tuesdays, 5-7pm. I can be found there most every Tuesday night with some friends. We have a blast!

Today I reached "Manufactured" status. Perhaps another week or two.

I am a mother of three, one daughter (who is a nurse) and two sons. Both sons are Eagle Scouts and are in the Army. My oldest has proudly served in Iraq. He is in Army Aviation and graduated #1 in his AIT class (this is the kid who almost didn't graduate high school)! He has found his niche in the A...

I really haven't run into that, but I live in a small town and shop mom and pop kind of places. I actually had the opposite happen when I bought my first gun. Well, I've always had a rifle, so I'll say my first hand gun. I walked to the pawn shop around the corner, thinking I'd get something small, ...

Hello all! My husband and I did our online apps in May, fingerprints at the beginning of June and took the class on June 30. Mailed the stuff in on July 2 and are patiently waiting through the "background check review" bit. I didn't even start checking my status until this week. I probably...
