I'm on the bandwagon too.

Post by Taurus.40 »

Well took the classroom portion Saturday and did the online application this morning. I'll mail my remaining paperwork tomorrow and my fingeprints are scheduled for Monday evening. FYI, I'm proud of myself for shooting a 249. I guess the long wait is ahead. I do already have a White Hat Holster and a good leather gun belt.

Welcome! If you have the option, the process seems to move quicker if you upload your docs via the website instead of snail mail. At least, that has been my experience so far. :txflag:

Yep. My wife and brother both did their renewal class at the same time. Brother mailed his stuff, wife used email. Wife's process was 2 weeks shorter.

When doing your online app there is a contact us email that allows you to attach scanned docs.

Just what I figured would happen,did. I got an email this morning that said the attachments didn't come through. Now my question is, should I resubmit or mail them? Am I going to be pushed back another 2 weeks or will I still be in line were I'm at now? Do they actually scan the barcode? My printer was low on ink and it's not that vivid.

I called and the guy said I could fax it in. He also said that the barcode sheet isn't even needed. He said he's not sure why the website says it is.
