Ouch! Is the wait that long? I figured 3 or 4 months at most, although they say 60 days...

Hi Joe,

Actually, when I took the CHL class that's where we went for the range test. I hadn't been before, and I haven't practiced since but I definitely have "the itch" already. I just moved to Richland Hills, so I had actually figured on going back there since it is only about 5 or 6 minutes south.

It seems everyone here is pretty friendly, which reminds me of the quote: "an armed society is a civil society". Guess that carries through on the web too.

Hope to learn more, and maybe contribute a bit too. Thanks on the CHL, hope your wait isn't as punishing as mine!

Hello all,

I'm 27, born in Louisiana but properly raised here in Texas. I was introduced to handguns about 10 months ago. I currently live in the Metroplex. I'm down to 15 hours on an electrical engineering degree at UTA. I've been working in aerospace engineering for the last 3 years. I'm single again so I suddenly have extra spending money for my new hobby and lifestyle as a CHL holder.

Only about 2 weeks into the long wait for my CHL to come back, so in the meantime I've been e-stalking all of you on the forum here, trying to learn what I can.

Currently, I have a S&W M&P 9mm full-size and an old Llama IIIa. I am still looking around for a good holster for the M&P, but I'm not a big guy (5'8" 145 lbs) so concealment *may* be an issue during summer months, so I may go buy something a little more concealable (rats! ) in the near future.
