Re: Pardon me, but is this chair taken?
Maybe the mail clerk only comes in on Tuesdays as a cost saving measure 
Based on other posts I am betting that we are the better part of a week away.

I am sure that I am being punished for checking in on the database 10x a day. I am still a no show this evening. I am going to wait until early next week, then re-mail if my material has not been registered as received.

Pardon me, but is this chair taken?
The waiting begins. I am a relatively new handgun owner. I took the plunge when I realized that the bad guys are getting closer and closer to my humble abode. We have a new major highway that borders my subdivision. In recent months a handful of kick-ins and 3 arrests within a small radius of my home have lead me to believe now is the time to consider carrying a weapon. I also work in an office tower adjoining the Houston Galleria and there are always folks milling around the parking lot. You know some of these folks are up to no good when you see them as you walk out of the building, then again in a different section as you drive out. They are either scoping the place out or more last than I have ever been.
I opened my file with the DPS on June 22, took my class on June 23, finger printed and mailed on June 26. From what it looks like, I will be here for most of the summer.
I do want to say that I thought I was moving through the process with a high level of thought and consideration of the possible outcome should the time ever come that I may need to use a weapon. I pray that moment will never present itself. But I found a few of the discussions last Saturday extremely sobering and eye opening. I think that some of the sobering came from new found knowledge that even the use of my shotgun in a clear case of self defense (i.e. a kick in event) will land me in front of a Grand Jury. Needless to say, while sobering, I am committed to assuring that I continue to protect my wife of 31 years - and that she protect me.
I'll update as soon as my status changes.
