When my wife bought her first "own gun" at the Mesquite gun show a few years back, she did not have a CHL yet, as a matter of fact she was buying it in anticipation of getting her CHL. It took a matter of a few minutes for her to pass the "instant check" and like BIG DADDY said, it took her longer to decide which gun to buy than it took to run the check.

We had only been "official" residents of Texas at the time.

While she was making the purchase I was wandering around another part of the show and her "ex" called on my cell phone, the only number for us that he knew. FGor some reason he is always kind of rude to me, and all he did was brusquely state her name as a request to talk to her. I politely answered "Gee, Chuck, I'm sorry, we're at the gun show and she's over there in the middle of buying herself a gun, so she can't talk right now.

Dead silence from the other end until I told him I would have her call him back, to which I received some sort of mumbled reply.

The girl he used to abuse and cheat on would never have been one to have a gun in the house, much less buy one.
