Re: 2016 Application Watch - post your 2016 timelines here

I called this afternoon and had about a 20 minute wait before speaking with someone that told me they are still working on December applications. The wait continues.

Re: Proficiency before or after classroom instruction?

When I took the class, since it was a weekday class, the instructor had us meet at the range to do the proficiency first. Worked out great since we had the range to ourselves and the range was about 25 miles from the classroom.

Re: Apply before or after class?

My understanding is DPS starts your background check as soon as they get your fingerprints. If an applicant has budgeting or scheduling problems, I recommend he go ahead and apply before class. If he waits a month of so to take the class, it probably will not have much affect on how soon he gets ...

Re: New Mexico

My issue is that I don't have my CHL/LTC yet. It is in the mountain of paperwork at DPS. It appears I won't have any problems in my vehicle, and I can even OC except prohibited places, but since the casino is on Tribal Lands, it appears I won't be stopping there since I don't know if I can even have ...

Re: Hotel question

Thanks for all the feedback. As I originally said, this hotel is on the list of properties to avoid.Unfortunately, I am finding quite a few Hilton branded properties becoming unfriendly to gun owners. That is a shame, because I have earned some status for previous stays and I like the perks. I guess ...

On the website was appropriate 30.06 and 30.07 verbiage. I am still in the waiting room, so carrying here was ...
