Well deserved!Charles L. Cotton wrote:I'll tell a little story on myself. When my first CHL came in the mail (early 1996), I was working late at the office after having been in court all day for several days. When I got home, I opened the envelope, stared at the CHL for several seconds, changed into my jeans, and put my gun on. I put a coat over it (it wasn't cold at all), then headed out the front door.dws1117 wrote:Oh well. The wait will be just a little longer now. Life goes on.
My wife asked where I was going and I told her I was going to stand in the middle of the street. She looked at me like I was crazy and asked why. I said, "because I can, for the first time in over 120 years!" At that time, it had been a 16 year fight for me and I felt I had earned those 60 seconds in the street. Sometimes a little self-indulgence is understandable.

Hehe, I had a similar situation. I forgot to include one of the certificates in my mad rush to get everything out. I actually noticed the next day and e-mailed the CHL department as to if I should send it in at the time, or wait for an official communique. THey said I could send it in and it would be matched up, so off to the post office.
Approx 3 weeks later, I get a letter from DPS saying my application was incomplete.
I'm basically thinking, something didn't get matched up and I'm screwed. I tried calling their voice numbers but they were forever busy. So, I took a leap of faith and faxed my response! It contained their letter, a copy of my e-mail communication, both certified receipts, the customer copy of the certificate that was missing, and a professional sounding letter detailing the events that took place.
I then recieved another letter from DPS about 1.5 weeks later saying my completed application had been recieved and directions to use the website to check my status. And I guess another 2.5 weeks later, a stark looking envelope came with that joyous piece of plastic. All in all, I gotta say the experience was very much in contrast to what I had been led to believe in terms of responses and correcting errors. I was surely dreading the deadly 'rejection' letter.
