[TrinityCHL]

Yup just hang on it takes a while but you will hear from them.

Are you a certified NRA instructor or have some form of certification from a national program? Gonna need that if you don't have it already.

I just did the same application and likewise already have a chl. So, do I need to submit more fingerprints? Seems like they should already have them.

Thanks for any info,

They have to submit a different set of prints to the FBI per the FBI requirements. The FBI runs them for different reasons.

Once your application is accepted, schedule with MorphoTrust/L1/Whatever they are called this week and they will take care of the rest.

Yes, you have to submit another set of fingerprints. The way the prints are run is determined by what DPS says you are going to be doing (CHL, CHL instructor, etc.).
