Get your gear together. Practice carry at home. Go to the range.
You will be prepared when the plastic arrives.

+1 on what he said.
+1 more on the range. Find a range you can draw and shoot at. I just visited The Lone Star Gun Range (mentioned in the thread here: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... php?t=6420) a few days ago. It's the only range anywhere near Austin where you can draw and shoot, so I thought I'd get some practice in. Because of my living arrangements, I was never able to practice drawing with an empty gun, so this was my first opportunity (had my CHL since 05/05/2007). The first time out, I forgot about the safety. I'm glad this wasn't a real-life situation, and it highlights the importance of getting yourself familiar with drawing and firing your weapon.

Yup, and countless hours on this forum getting to know the intricacies of the law and practical action. And to have some fun, too!

I'd say I'm a much better CHLer for having spent so much of my wait time here with these fine folks.
