My background is clean as a whistle, but ive had several part time jobs separated by semesters in college, so i hope that won't add to the time.

The longest step for me was waiting for DPS to acknowledge they received my paperwork. It took two of the five weeks.

There ain't no rhyme or reason on the inconsistency of the DPS processing these things. I wonder if its like the grocery store where sometimes you get a competent cashier and go through rapidly and sometimes you get a Democrat?

Still waiting. Been looking at holsters and have decided on a Comp-Tac CTAC for my Shield. Any advice on good, inexpensive, gun belts?
