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

Re: Awaiting background check
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?
