Just go to http://www.house.gov/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, click on Concealed Handgun License, login using your drivers license number, social security number and birthdate, and you can see what condition your case is in.

Here's what mine says:

License Status: Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials. Once the application and materials have been received by Concealed Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page.

I got confirmation of receipt on 6/7/10, so it apparently takes a while after they get your documents before they begin processing them.
