Plastic in Hand...IN 15 DAYS!

#1

Post by KingofChaos »

Got my plastic in the mail today, and boy was I excited. My packet was received the Wednesday before last(7/20/11), and I've already got my card. I was hoping it would get here yesterday so I could be in the 2 week club, but 1 day more ain't bad. My status was changed to mailed on Saturday, but postmarked for this Tuesday(8/2/11). After searching through a few old threads and keeping track of postmark dates, I've got to say that the theory that things get mailed out once a week just isn't true. There were postmarks Monday-Friday. Anyway, I'm glad my wait is over, and am thankful that it went so fast. No more worrying about NICS for me.

Carrying a Witness Elite Match in a Huntsville IWB Holster. First trip out was to Home Depot. I wanted it to be wally, but I needed a specialty bulb :???:

I wish there was an actual answer to this question. But then again, you can't have everything. I actually expecting it to take awhile since I have my father's name, but it looks like they manged to figure out that I didn't commit crimes before my birth this time. On my first walk I just went into Home Depot, then immediately backed out to make sure there weren't any 30.06 signs. Looking out for them is going to have to become second nature.

Question, do you guys just use the stalls in public bathroom?I realized that using a urinal just may expose my weapon. No that was not a joke. I undo my belt, and my pants instantly start traveling towards the floor with the extra weight.

Try utilizing the zipper technique that does not require undoing the belt...or try a foley with a leg bag.

There are one or two restroom threads around here somewhere. For urinals, the zipper only method is the best way to go, but I tend to use the stalls more if I do ever have to use a public restroom.
