As short as one day to over a month. :shock: Most people seem to clear in 3-7 days or so.

Today I did my first walk with my CHL. I walked around Academy for 40 mins, then crossed the street and did some shopping at the mall for about 2 hours. I must say that I wasn't that concerned about people noticing me, nor did I have a chihuahua type appearance. My wife asked are you carrying right now, I said does it look like it? She said nope.
