Whether or not someone pursues an action based solely on principle has to be their decision based upon their personal circumstances.

I absolutely love to be in a courtroom! I love an audience. When I was a young attorney, I'd fight to the last drop of blood without giving a second thought to the aftermath my clients would have to live with, even if we won. A victory can cost clients a substantial amount of money if I'm defending a civil case and reliving a tragic death or catastrophic, life-altering injury in a courtroom opens old wounds, sometimes permanently, when I'm representing Plaintiffs. As time passed I came to learn that while I love fighting to the last drop of blood, it's not my blood, it's my clients' blood. Although I still love to be in court as much as I ever did, I make sure my clients fully understand the ramifications of a trial. As a young attorney I was a cheerleader to clients; as an old trial lawyer with gray thinning hair, I try to be more of a statesman.

After reviewing the information on this, it seems the officer took almost 30 days (instead of the mandated five days) just to send the DPS all of the documentation needed. He never sent me a copy either. But even so, I keep getting the feeling that I'm going to get screwed on this deal.

Is there anything in the code that establishes the date which you become subject to the gun code? Or anything that states that it is the applicant's responsibility to check the website for his status? I've read through this, and it seems to say that you are approved the day the license is approved in Austin. But you cannot carry until you receive your license. So when do you become subject to the gun code?

Call me at my office. I'll be in trial Monday and I'll call you when you get out. Where are you located?
