congrats!mrfunnyman wrote:Ok I'm done waiting, my plastic showed up today. Just about 1 month and 1 week from the time I took my class. Woohoo!!!!mrfunnyman wrote:yep yesterday mine was pending manufacture and today it says mailed.
When I mailed mine from Colleyville to Austin last month it took 5 days so I am guessing at least a week more to wait. We'll see.
24 days from arriving at their mailbox, I had my license arrive at my mailbox. This is the first time application for me.jmoney wrote:are you guys with these 2 weeks times renewing, or submitting a whole new application?

I've had two full-up, no-kidding FBI background checks, and each of my employees have also been scrutinized. The checks for CHL are basic records searches, and seem to take hardly any time at all. They can do it in sixty seconds, as its all computerized.
If the Feebs really do an in-depth check - as is the case with me, my company, and employees - it takes months.
As in four to six.
They send letters to your employer, your friends, your neighbors - even the ones who don't like you - and make random, in-person visits if there is any suspicious or occasionally unlawful activity in your backgound. If you are selected for a personal interview, you get the full FBI treatment. Suits, badges, unexpected out-of-the-blue visit, long silences with blank expressions so that you will nervously fill the empty places with inane chatter, the whole nine yards.
Talk about pins and needles.
Waiting 60 days for a carry license? Its the blink of an eye!
As someone somewhat close to an agency of government, I can give a reasonable answer.mt_goodrich wrote:What all is involved with background check? Run a criminal history and check local county for anything?
Well, I am officially jealous.BowhunterMac wrote:Things are moving along:

1/27-first sign of anything online
1/27- all materials marked "received"; background under review

Hopefully will have it soon!
That's ok! We can blame it on the air quality from nearby Houston!karateclarinet wrote:I stand corrected. I'm a musician, not a mathematician.

Good thinking! That's the spirit!scooter1966 wrote: My mail doesn't arrive until after 3:30 or so. I have this irrational fear that either the guy who carries the outgoing mail to wherever its picked up at has been out sick since Monday and our stuff is just sitting there on a desk or my envelope slid off the stack and is now laying behind that desk caught up in power and computer cables so it's not even visible on the floor and won't be found until they move everything to wax the floors...
