While freedom has no price too high, $140 for a state-sponsored license affirming your natural right is a good bit of change, at least for me. Then add on the cost for the class, which effectively makes it $250-300 to start with.

Good Point Reminds of when I was a kid and someone mentioned selling water or air.... I thought no one can sell water and air....they're free...... !

Here I sit buying both and my right to carry that was already given to me 200 years ago......

Unfortunately, they can take up to 90 days for first-time applications, depending on when DPS Austin sends it to the local designee. This will be addressed in 2007.

There are those of us who went well beyond the 90 day limit as well though... so please don't give them a complete pass. It just might not be quite as large of a "legal" problem as it otherwise might have been.

And let me know if you need a deposition or other assistance in Austin for the '07 session. I could easily answer a subpoena for the state capital.

Rest assured it's not going to be ignored! The 90 day glitch will be addressed also.

Charles, Do you feel the CHL department is just under staffed? I think a lot of the problem (at least for me) was why did it take 30 days just to get into the system to start the process? Does that mean they toss your app. in a pile for a month? On the other hand maybe there are good reasons it take so long, I have no way of knowing and I guess everyone is that way.
Maybe we can take a field trip to Austin and watch them work one day ?

You called to ask, and they told you no? So are you going to send one?

Actually the paper work says no but they do accept them now... I think that;s still true.

I know, I am curious as to the answer, from Di Niro, to my question.

Oh, sorry. I knew you knew that!
