Yeah, I would have been fine with a ticket, although it would have been the first ticket that I would have received because I really did overlook the sign. All my other tickets I knew I was either knowingly speeding, or not obeying traffic laws so I really deserved it. ninemm, :lol:: I think I was r...

A LEO friend of mine works the worst part of our town so he has some interesting stories both good and bad. When our families get together for dinner it usually ends with the girls talking girl stuff and my friend telling me stories of his nightly patrols. Some are serious and some get us laughing t...

Got pulled over in Dallas tonight on the way home from some friends wedding festivities around 9:45 with my wife in tow. Leaving a nice neighborhood I quickly found myself in a bad neighborhood with confusing street layouts which is the usual for me when I am navigating Dallas (its not like this in ...

Update: For those of us carrying .380's --- yikes! CHL took 3 hits of .380 from robber, robber took unknown shots from glock 19 9mm. CHL lives, robber dies. You guys are right, tactically a disaster. I wouldn't speak to or otherwise engage the bad guy until I had him in my sights and could act befor...

Got my plastic in hand today. Would feel a little nervous carrying in public for the first time, but its 40 degrees and jackets REALLY cover up IWB holsters. I might feel a little nervous next time it warms up. You guys werent kidding about the anti climactic DPS packaging for the plastic. Card stoc...

Thanks for all the congratulations, I hope I can return the favor soon. I am in Tarrant county by the way. I will stick around to see how progress goes for everyone else, and let you know when the plastic gets here.

Attention friends: I almost hate to do this but MINES FINALLY DONE! :chldancing I had to check it twice to be sure it wasnt a mistake! I really hope everyone else gets their this week as well, I know we have all been patiently (or not so patiently) waiting about the same time. Looks like DPS is keep...

Broncrider, Its not just you, only I can't figure out why its always the end of the week. Sure feels like we should be up this week, looks like we are some of the last from Nov of those here on the forum. Maybe both of our packets ended up on the bottom of a tall stack on the desk of someone who too...

Well, with all of you guys getting good news I hope it ain't long before they finish mine. :iagree: Boncrider, I hope this is our week. Should be seeing as how we are about 7-10 days behind everyone else who got theirs last week. I hope it comes before friday, otherwise it will make me all anxious ...

Bell County Well I just made it back from the big city capital, sure had a great time at Lake Travis. I took Ranch Road 2222 into RR 620 to get to the Villia, sure were alot of nice houses. Wife and I had a good time, our Battalion Chaplin is a real nice guy, he came to the BN while I was deployed....

Congrats guys!! M A N, all you fellow Tarrant County-ers getting yours is making me even more anxious! Made me check DPS at least 4 times to be sure I didnt overlook my status this morning. Maybe I am in the next batch Tarrant County sends back to Austin. I bet it only took 2-3 days for your initial...

fisher of man - I totally check the DPS website so much that I think it will ever only say one thing. In fact, I have this habit of closing the web page so fast out of frustration that I bet the day it changes, I will just zip through my routine so fast that I wont even notice the change! Probably h...

gomowdude, Broncrider, what counties are you in? I'm just a few days ahead of you on the "received in Austin" date, but I get to deal with a Harris County address... Good luck, y'all - hang in there! :waiting: I am a neighbor of Broncrider, gomowdude here reporting from Tarrant county. He...

MAN!!! Now that Nov applicants are finally getting their plastic I cant help myself from checking the DPS website at least 3-4 times a day....I am pulling for it getting here before the 20th. You guys are right, the home stretch wait is even worse!!!

well friends, for what its worth I signed up here but only after i had some update on my app process, so here it is. if you're like me you've been checking others updates in order to measure their progress against yours, so I am returning the favor.... hope I don't stay in the waiting room long!
