CONGRATULATIONS!

Your patience will be finally rewarded...in another 1-2 weeks?

Thanks....I guess...that is what the email says...I dunno...

Very nice!!

Congrats Sarge! It's all over but the......waiting. It won't be long. Several people have said when DPS told them 1-2 weeks, they got it about 5 days later. Go figure

Thanks fella's...you know I was thinking the same thing...2 weeks? I bet they are just covering their butts on USPS expectations.....oh well....
Frankly I screwed up my application as I didnt sign the back of my pic's....well not all of 'em anyway :)
So I got no issue as that was my fault.....but it is done I guess....

I aint going to ChinaMart...I'm doing the Neiman-Marcus Waddle....the wife would not be caught dead in ChinaMart :)

Ooooh, going uptown!

Sounds like you're the kind of guy with a low serial number, special edition, engraved Kimber in a manly round. :-)

We hope you'll still talk to us. (snicker,snicker)

SIA

LOL...No I said Mother is a NM girl...me...I drive a pickup and know where everything is in WalMart :)
I have lots of toys....but my pistols are a Glock 36, Glock 27, S&W 9VE, I like the Glock compacts with the Pierce +1 extensions...make for big caliber, low profile concealed carry....and the extensions give them the "big gun" grip I need...
My nightstand gun is a IDF Jericho .40 (known here in the US of A as a Baby Eagle)...it is too heavy for carry unless I use the shoulder holster....I didnt mean to come of as snobbish fella's.....sorry....I am a beer drinker and scratch where it itches....
