Just submitted my paperwork!
Ive been a frequent visitor on this board, but since I just submitted my paperwork, I figured I would go ahead and create an account! I love this board and find it very informative. My instructor told me to expect my plastic in 4-6 weeks! I cant wait. Ever since I decided to get my CHL, I feel completely vulnerable now. The next 4-6 weeks cant come fast enough.

Re: Just submitted my paperwork!
I'm a newbie here too, so I can relate to your impatience. It seems like the turnaround times have been much faster recently. I got mine in 2 and a half weeks, and that is even with my first set of prints being rejected. I recommend carrying around the house as much as you can to get comfortable with your set up. It makes the transition that much easier. Welcome to the board.

Is there a reason more people don't talk about getting an out of state CHL? I got mine from Arizona and it was faster, cheaper and less hoops to jump through than Texas. Congrats on your CHL!
Re: Just submitted my paperwork!
Various reasons. One is you cannot carry on school grounds or within 1000 feet of a Texas school without a Texas CHL. Secondly, you can bypass the federal NICS check when purcahsing a firearm in Texas with a Texas CHL. There are others.paxton25 wrote:Is there a reason more people don't talk about getting an out of state CHL?

Re: Just submitted my paperwork!
Yea I thought that was stupid when I couldn't use my CHL to avoid the NICS, you go through the same background check. But I don't have kids so I don't go to any schools and I have a C&R FFL so most of what I buy isn't something that goes through dealers. When I do they already have so much info on my anyway I don't have any issues with it. The Arizona process was very easy, I think it lasts longer than Texas too.

And the wait begins. Like most people who are anxious for it to come, its gonna be the longest few weeks of your life.

Re: Just submitted my paperwork!
Welcome to the forum.
Might I suggest that you take the time waiting as training time. Carry your EDC at home and try different carry/conceal types and methods. This will let you see what works for you and also get you comfortable carrying concealed
