Just got my CHL in the mail...

#1

Post by LaRue32 »

Its been 70+ days since my packet was recieved by the DPS in austin, and I finally recieved my license today. While getting ready to head out to wal-mart I notice that the category reads: NSA. It should have been SA, I called and waited the usual 30 minutes and was told that my instructor scanned the paperwork in such a way that the paperwork was unreadable... After 30 minutes of being placed on hold a few times I was told that they verfied that SA should have been the correct category. I was told that they would overnight the new CHL and would recieve a call letting me know the confirmation number. Its taken so long and I guess a few more days wont hurt, I needed to vent and see what everyone thought. That is all. :mrgreen:

Sadly no revolver, something I forgot to mention is that the CHL I have in hand is no longer valid.

Glad to hear that they're taking care of it, at least!

Oh well, maybe you'll have it by Friday and be able to strap it on Saturday morning and carry all day for your first time.

Congratulations! Did you find any ammo in your caliber and buy it?

Around here .45 is never in stock at wal mart, I usually buy at a local range where I recieve 10% off.
