What part of this great State do you hail from?

Thanks for the welcome! I've already gotten some great info from the site. I live in Rowlett. For those of you not familiar with DFW, it's a suburb on the east side of the Metroplex.

first things first...

very fortunate to have taken my CHL class via Lonnie Ward and the Denton County Sports Association - http://www.dentoncountysports.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - highly recommended - professional, enjoyable, very well organized - class, fingerprint, photo, test, shoot all in one (long) day - thank you Lonnie !!!

secondly...

this forum has been so informative - from the legislative discussions with Charles Cotton to comiserating with my peers here in the "waiting room" - great information and contributions from the members !!!

Now for the application...

Since taking the course on 1/9, my application was sent in and appears now as "processing application" via the online status - so indeed i am "officially" in the waiting game - will update as things progress...

Thanks again,

Ron

Took the class with this guy... it's a race to see who gets the permit back first... Mailed my packet on thursday too... looking forward to kicking around the boards here...

WOO HOO! Status finally changed to "processing." Although, I'm not sure when it changed, I checked it on friday around 4pm and it hadn't changed. Weird

Awesome, congrats and welcome!

Which holster did you end up getting?

Thanks. I got the Galco FL468

Very nice. What type of weapon will it hold?

Beretta PX4 type F 9mm. What is your weapon of choice?

I should have recognized that from your user name. I really love the look of the PX4, it's very futuristic looking. I have the Springfield XD Subcompact 9mm.

Very nice gun! Keep me updated on your progress.

First post, but I've been trolling for a few weeks.

So I mailed my application off on the 3rd of January, received my pin on the 15th, and I had been checking multiple times per day to see if my application had been approved, but decided to give it a rest and wait a few days between checking, since there was no way that it was going to be approved so soon. So about an hour ago I log in after not checking for 3-4 days, only to find that my status had been changed to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active"!!!! Can't wait for the plastic to come in so I can go on my Wally Walk!!

Congratulations ProfessorX2005 !!

WOW , that was fast . I hope you know that Wally Walk pictures are required .
And oh yeah..Welcome to the forum

OK... starting to get a little antsy. Most people who mailed their packets when I did have already received their PIN. Guess if I don't get something in the mail in the next few days I'll have to break down and give them a call.
