August 2011 Applications

#1

Post by Tx_XDm »

New to forum. Just mailed my required information in 8-5-11. I did not find one by searching so I guess I will start the August waiting thread. Now the waiting begins.

Cool, Thanks for the welcome. It will be good to have some company while waiting. I plan on passing the time by looking for a new ccw and holster etc.

Ok now tell me the truth, have you already checked your status? I have, and I aint afraid to admit it. :lol:

Just got done finger printing, and the guy at L1 says it will take until Friday for DPS to get the prints?

The August club is here. I must admit, I check daily for :totap: :shock: updates. It seems it takes DPS about two weeks after the first update. I also call them everyday. I am so anxious. I am looking at the ruger LCP for everyday carry and backup to the G26.

I have not checked yet, since I just mailed my packet yesterday. I am sure it will kick in pretty quickly.

I think I am also part of the August class even though I took the CHL class 7/31. Paperwork didn't get mailed off until Aug 2.
I was amazed the background check only took 2 days but "manufacturing" of the license has been going on for close to a week now. I have one of those employers that won't even allow a weapon in the car in the parking lot so there isn't much I can do until Sept 1 anyway.
