Finally, mailed off this morning... of course hoping for the shorter of the processing times I have seen tossed around ;-)

I assume you are talking about your CHL? :cheers2: if you did the paper work on line and then took the class it will come in about 30 days. mine took 28 days but I did the on line paperwork. while you are waiting for you lic read chapter 2 in the hand gun book and then read it again. don't be afraid to ask questions it might save to a world of hurt down the road

Thinking the online status thing is a mixed blessing... I know it takes two weeks for anything to show up...

Sit back and enjoy the great company here on the forums. Remember the DPS Status website is only updated one a day at around 6:45a. Try to refrain from checking it several times a day. ;-) No, I do not take my own advise. :banghead:

yeah... I know not to... but I do anyway :). Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had taken my chl class a good while ago and just now had the funds available to finish the process, so it seems longer :blowup

Congrats! I sent mine off 2 weeks after yours, so maybe I have 2 more weeks? From browsing the forum there seems to be no rhyme of reason to the amount of time it takes.
