I do think it's a crock because we have to jump through all these hoops and pay so much money for what is supposed to be a right, but your single experience of them taking so long is not really good evidence of the current system being totally bad since so many others are receiving their license ...

I have finally received my CHL!!! Although, even to this day, the DPS website link for "Where's my CHL" STILL says the same message as it did 6 months ago...telling nothing useful...I finally got my card in the mail.

To amend: Illinois stalled me getting my federal taxes while living in TX for last year's return because IL owed ME money!! No joke! I fought it for 6-8 months until the IRS place here just overrode Illinois' block cuz they were being douchebags and let me have my money. After that, along with ...

Well....a month later, and still no response, not by phone, email, or mail. I think it's official: the whole CHL thing is just a cash scam after all, to gain free tax money. I sadly regret trying to pursue my constitutional right for self defense, since even the most descent state left in this ...

All the feedback is very appreciated! Luckily, I paid online, so there should be no digging for receipts or anything like that. Now I'm just "pending" until further notice. My rep said to call him back after a few months if I still haven't received it yet. As for the federal holdup / delay...that's ...

Okay, I will try that at lunch today & thank you!

I did my CHL training back in early October of 2014, & my neighbor & his wife (no arrests EVER in all of life) did it several months before that. Yet, no mail, no status, no anything...ever! Even inquiring, the answer is basically "pending." It's just a fake license to trick a tax out of the people ...
