You have more patience than most of us to politely respond to "you must have mental health issues"....DaveT wrote:This is not entirely the case.Morgan wrote:If you called, you didn't need to talk to the people who do the background check, you should be able to get a status from the people to whom you talked.
As I posted in the December applications forum, I called today and talked with Felicia.... she was the one who answered the phone.
After giving me a lecture about checking on line every day (she thought I was wasting my time), she gave me the line about 60 days and I was calling too soon. When I replied politely that they have had my packet since December, her response was "oh".
From that point on, she tried to offer excuse on the list:
Her: You must have a problem with your criminal history.
Me: No Mam, I have no criminal history.
Me: I have been married for 27 years and have no child support issues.
Her: You must have mental health issues.
Me: There are no issues like that, I am a former LEO and Texas Police Chief. The only thing I have ever done that might be considered crazy is once I voted for a Democrat.
She finally said she did not know why it had not been processed because she was not a 'technician'.
All this for a renewal on an existing license.
I turned the whole matter over to my State Representative this afternoon.
wow
