Went to Saxet Gunshow here in S.A. (prices seem to be coming down a little, finally)...checked mail when I got home and CHL had arrived, at last!
Soooo, with my j-frame in a Nemesis pocket holster, and my Glock OWB, I went and performed a proper Wally Walk to make it all official..
To top it off, we finally got a nice rain shower here to boot. All in all, a great day!
Thanks to fellow forum members for support and especially to those like Charles who've been nipping at the heels of DPS to get things going.

I mean being lazy does not account for one letter stating your app is incomplete because a picture isn't signed.....then almost a month later saying "Oh now it is incomplete because your birth date format is incorrect".....that is flat out in your face roadblocks to the process.
I wonder how many people give up? Is that their plan? That we will just give up? Does the State of Texas really want it's citizens armed? Trained and carrying? If you listen to the politicians the answer is yes. But actions speak louder than words where I am from.

That is way too easy to resolve.....I am convinced it is management at DPS does not like gun carrying law abiding citizens. Maybe middle management or maybe upper management...but as business owner myself for over 30 years I can say without hesitation that if there is an issue and one really wants to fix it you can....and if you do not wish to fix it you can throw up as many obstacles as possible to make it die on the vine.
Somebody or a group of management at DPS is anti gun.

Apparently my usually jovial demeanor is a little altered after 24 hours without nicotine. I promised to cut down. I intend to do it gradually to minimize the pain. I owe her that for her gradually increasing support of firearms, gradual lessoning of Obama support, and her support of my getting my CHL.

Oh yeah, I forgot the other reason. Quitting is good for me.
