Hi Ya'll, I sent off my package 9/18/06. Nothing at the online status in one month. What is typical for changing to "processing" status? Regards to all, Rod

From what I hear, the 30 day range is how far behind DPS is in updating the website. It will come though!

After 30 and no pin number or processing on the web, I would give them a call. Welcome to the Forums.

Hey welcome aboard RodL....Yeah, if you get more than 30 days, give them a call on your pin website statement.

Thanks everyone. Actually I have had my pin # from the start. I originally started the process online so I guess it was in the packet they sent.

RodL...keep plugging in there for TX....
Did post a note to you asking about your previous CCW in CA ...in that we have a small shoebox chateau (lol) in San Diego County. Wife (also CHL) and I would sure like to get permitted there too ....but where to start??

Hey Skipper, I have no clue where to start now days in Cali. When I got mine, some yeahoo was taking pot shots through my kitchen window because I was "entertaining" his ex-wife. When I complained to the Sheriff's Dept., I asked him and the prosecuter "what can I do"? They both spoke at the same time and nearly drowned each other out with their reply.............."shoot him". That was followed by their question, "do you have a gun"? My affirmative answer was followed by the exclamation that I needed a "permit". The next day the detective walked me through the permit process and I walked out with the CCW (24 hour turn around ain't bad)

. That was 1968 and I still have my expired CCW for the year 1992. I hate to tell you, but as much as I love San Diego and the sailing down Baja to Ensenada and Cabo (Erikson 35, Ventura Isle Marina), things ain't gonna be the same there as they were in B-town in 1968.

All the best Skip.
