I'm trying to practice some sort of self control but I still manage to convince myself that checking the site twice a day is not crazy. Love the site, thanks to all the senior members for all your priceless knowledge.

Welcome to the forum! And welcome to the waiting room! I submitted mine online about 10 days before you, and it was approved on 7/1. So with some luck you're probably just a couple of weeks behind me.

You should have your license in hand pretty soon! Are you planning to carry a glock?

[Hot Dawg]

I sent mine in 4 days after you & will be watching your timeline, our instructor told us he had a guy got his in one week but his fathers over 6 weeks & were both in the same class together, would be nice if it was that quick.

[5.56pickupsticks]

Yes it would! I won't get my hopes up though. The worst part about waiting for me is, everytime I take my 9 month old daughter out somewhere I'm always thinking what if. I've been extremely alert and paranoid sense ahe was born.

Update

Still no change on the website.

So I decided to call today to make sure they received everything. I spoke to a very nice lady who said they have everything and I have been approved. She said the next part seems to take longer than it should which is cutting the license and mailing it. She told me I would have my license in hand within the next two weeks! Any advice for me as I approach carrying for the first time (besides when I carry on the ranch) would be much appreciated. I will continue to soak up as much knowledge from the site as possible.

I kind of want to call now. I know there is a lot of different optons for carrying you may want to check out the Alien holsters, I heard those are pretty good.

Update

I called and I spoke to a representative that has told me I have been approved and will be receiving license in 7 to 10 days.

[Taypo]

Congrats to both of you!

Single best piece of advice I have is this:
Get a gun belt. Not a thick belt or a Wally World belt. A dedicated, purpose built gun belt. Everything else about your daily carry hinges on it.

I was holding off until next week to call, lol you beat me to it. Guess I'll call today and see what they say. Congrats on your approval!!!

Congrats Sigma!

Taypo,

I have a 5.11 tactical belt, would you suggest something else?

Nice! I think you were only a day ahead of me timeline wise....so that means I should be there too! I'm going to call tomorrow to see what they tell me!

[Sigma_85]

Hopefully she wasn't just telling me that to have me stop calling. That would really suck.

I thought that too when I called but then she told me it would be mailed to my address, quoted my full name and verified my driver's license.

[Sigma_85]

Nice, I was thinking of calling again today to see what other information they can provide but thanks for telling me that.
