First off, welcome. Please stop by the introduce yourself thread and tell us a little about you.

As to your CHL, it seems as if any corrections that need to be made starts the time over from when they receive and start processing the corrected complete application.

Between 60 and 70 days seems to be the norm. Be patient. I know it's hard. Just go shoot, practice carrying around the house, and dry fire. It will arrive.

sjones,
welcome! I have a bunch of family in Waxahachie...I spent a great deal of time there as a child. My Grandfather was a police officer there in the 50's. It really is a nice little/growing town. Take care.

I have my prints with the FBI and a half dozen other federal agencies due to my security clearance. I fully expect this to take the full 60 days when I put in my CHL packet(not renewel).
