I have been please with the process so far. I felt like I was committing a crime the first time I walked into a gun shop and walked out with a new hand gun and 200 rounds of ammo in less than 30 minutes. Furthermore, the ease licensing and speed has been appreciated. In my previous state, the chances of getting a CHL was slim. I took the required courses knowing I wouldn’t be approved. I’m so thankful to be in Texas now.

I can’t believe how smoothly and quickly my licensing process has gone. My husband is active duty Navy and we relocated to Fort Worth this past June from California. I knew I wanted to get my LTC the moment we settled in but I figured things would get hung up in my background check due to my new residency. Nope! Looks like I’m in the very last step, awaiting my LTC to be printed and mailed. Here’s my timeline:

Applied online 10/12
Took class/proficiency test 10/13
Completed fingerprinting 10/16
Submitted certificate from class 10/16
Received email that certificate had been received 10/17
1st status update available online with all completed except background check 10/19
Background check complete, print pending! 10/20

I figure I “should” have it in hand by Friday of this next week? I haven’t even found a comfortable holster yet for my top two choices of pistol.
