Marathonbbq wrote:Couldn't stand it, had to call tonite after my boss called me and said his was in the mail. We took the class together, but he didn't get his prints done until 10/5. So the guy on the phone tonite tells me they have everything they need, but something popped up in the background check and a technician is checking it out. WTH?!? Something popped up? I got my CHL in '97 when they first came out, but did not renew in 2000 when it expired. Something popped up? I've never been arrested, so I don't understand what popped up? SMH

Still waiting. I'm calling Monday!!

Any word? Website still hasn't changed for me. I know they have already started my bg check, but that should be literally instant. I have almost no criminal history; no arrests (luckily), I have had my fair share of tickets but nothing violent and only class C tickets. Plus I've bought 3 guns this year and all three I was out of the store within 30 minutes (mind you some browsing time).

I called yesterday. Still waiting on background check. I'll call again Wednesday. I bought a new pistol and a Colt M4 two weeks ago and was out the door in 15 minutes!

A CHL background check is much more thorough than a NICS check. The following is what I saw in another thread on here. I assume it to be true.

"DPS sends an employee into each county where you have lived for the last 5 years (5 I believe) to conduct an in person background. They check the county and district criminal clerk and District civil clerk. The tax assessor is also queried"
