It is definitely a new experience carrying in a place where you have been 1000 times before without a handgun. It felt like I had a rocket launcher on my waist and everyone was staring at me. I noticed quickly that no one had interest in me at all. I hope everyone gets their plastic soon.

On a side note, now that I have my license, I am no longer frustrated with how long it took to get to me.

Hey Z8442 did you feel like eveybody were looking at you.

I am about 15 min north of Lubbock TX.

My first update was 9/09 so I really can't complain too much..... My problem is I am watching the September 2011 Application room and seeing people who saw their first updates later than mine passing me in the process. How much can I push this with DPS? They are telling me to sit tight and call back in a few weeks but it is pretty frustrating. Any thoughts?

DH and I have been married a number of years. We were poor students for the first few. Then we lived out of state for a while. Now we are back and excited to seize our privileges as Texans. I'd like to hear your stories.
