Welcome! Don't fret, most of us went through the same scenario of checking 10 times a day, and wondering how anything could possibly take longer to get to you...with the exception of Christmas to a six year old. Just dig in and appreciate/enjoy the information, friendship, laughs, and occasional stupid fights we have here. You know, kind of like your own family.

I would just like to have something to change on the website. I wife thinks its silly for having a CHL support forum. I will be a happy camper when I get to do my first Wally walk.

My wife used to think a lot about my interest in guns, and carrying guns, was silly. It used to frighten her. After almost a year, she no longer bats an eye when she sees it coming out of the gun safe and into the holster. She would probably be quite surprised if she ever tapped my right hip, and it was not there. Even more surprising, she has been very supportive in my building an AR15 from the ground up because, "it is good for you to have a hobby". If you had seen her a year ago, you would probably be feeling a little faint right now!

That is an awesome sight! I remember the thrill I had when my page updated to that. It felt like the "forever" wait was almost over. It gets even better when it finally says, "mailed"!
