Re: Threatening incident last Sunday night (Forest/Marsh)
No worries. In response to a previous reply post, I am male and about 5'11". Hard to say why he chose me as a target; I was in a suit and tie with a trench coat. The VW had my Army veteran stickers and shield from my old unit. The fact that he did target me made me (perhaps subconsciously) a li...

Threatening incident last Sunday night (Forest/Marsh)
I wanted to relate an incident that just happened in the Tom Thumb parking lot at Forest and Marsh in Dallas, last Sunday night. It was the first time I had to present my weapon to a civilian. It happened so fast and I'm not sure I did the right thing or not... I know I've been approached like this ...

Re: Let's hear some updates!
Well finally the plastic is in hand (wallet).... I am up and out. Keep the faith, ladies and gents. Just when you think there is nothing going on, you'll get a nice and rather plain-looking envelope in the US Mail and there you have it. Looking forward to...well, just going to work.

Re: Let's hear some updates!
OK. 21APR and now I see that online it is "Processing Application." Stupid me: I mailed my military orders and ID via "Certified Mail." I inquired at the P.O. and they said that certified mail is held at the P.O. until someone comes to sign for it and pick it up. I thought, "...
