It’s been a long wait, and for those still waiting… best of luck to you and hopefully your turn will come soon enough.
One note of seriousness… I have to say that my 85 day wait was made somewhat more bearable having this place to lament my impatience with others, curse the DPS and their seeming unresponsiveness, and YES, even celebrate with those that got their LTC along the way. It’s hard to say I’ll “miss” this place, but I certainly will miss the little bit of camaraderie that comes with commiserating with other like-minded people.
And now, for the 3rd time in my life, I go out into the world as a responsible, legally-armed and "prepared to defend myself and those I love"-citizen. Never letting this lapse again. Now if you'll excuse me.... I got some shopping to do. Stay safe out there folks and be safe.
