How about some good news and some bad news...

The bad news is that I'm still in the "processing application" phase after 87 days.

The good news is that I got my plastic in the mail yesterday afternoon!!!!!! :woohoo
Who knows what's going on with the status server?!?! Hopefully this kind of thing will happen to more people than me, because that's a great surprise!

Now I've got a great excuse to buy a new pistol and holster!

Finally got my plastic yesterday (8 days from website update to plastic in hand), and carried for the first time today out to lunch with the family. A little nervous but I've been carrying concealed around the house since taking the course so it was pretty comfortable and went quite well (which means, neither my wife, nor the sheep around us, nor any potential wolves around had any idea they were in the presence of a sheepdog).

Congratulations! You finally got it!

I was a little nervous too, the first time carrying - you think everyone's eyes are on you. However, after wearing it - you notice that no one around you has any idea. Including my GF who was sitting right next to me.

It makes sense to me. I just received my pin last Friday after 3 months. I also received a letter on Thursday telling me I screwed up. I am a March application and they are working mine. I bet the April apps are just around the bend.
