When will she get her license is anyone's guess. My best guess would be 6-8 weeks, barring any other glitches, mainly in the background check area. But note that with the new and improved procedures implemented in the beginning of Sept. at HQ it might be much sooner than that. Gads, that sounds like a politician talking, doesn't it?

Joe, are you running for office?? LOL! I have tried to stay out of her CHL business because she wanted to do it. So, after helping her with the application, showing her how to operate her pistol, taking her to the range for practice, acompanying her at the 10 (long!) hours of class/range time and mailing her app, she didn't want anymore help! That, my friends, is why there is no PIN number yet!

Like I said, it has been about 6 weeks since we sent the prints off again. She is a teacher and has already had a background check or 2 and fingerprints submitted, so I don't believe there should be any more problems, other than waiting a while longer. I will see if I can suggest that she e-mail for her PIN tonight. It would be nice to see what is going on with her app. As The Annoyed Man refers to "She Who Must Be Obeyed!"

I am still waiting also. I sent mine app in on the 30th. I think I will still be calling Tuesday just to make sure. I decided to carry the Springfield GI 4" Champion model. Kimber was too expensive for my blood, and I like the look better of the Springfield. I really hope this license comes soon, I wont be surprised if it doesnt, I had like 5 counties listed between my work and residences. Any body have more than 5 counties finish up before 90 days?

Still waiting here.

I'm tempted to call, but I'm afraid that now they'd say:

"Sorry sir, but we didn't know quite how to tell you this. The dog ate your application."

*whispering* call....call....call....

OK...I called today!

"We are waiting to hear back on your FP card" hmmmm.... Then I hear the silence of discovery (maybe its been a long time!!...ya think!) "Can you hold I am going to e-mail my supervisor" Then, "I e-mailed my supervisor, we just have to wait for the information to come back on FP cards" ???

Guess that means more waiting?

that stinks....keep the faith...

EXACTLY the same story I've been getting for the past 3 weeks....

I called today and they said that they are still waiting on bg check. when they get that then they will pass it down the line to a tech who will then go over the app. make sure everything is in order, and either reject it or make it complete. same ol song and dance ive been hearing and seeing on here. go grab another ice cold coke and enjoy the good folks in this fourm. ive waited this long whats another month or two.

My wife sent an e-mail to the DPS last evening after I posted above. To my surprise, the DPS replied today with her PIN. She checked her status and is processing application. So we wait...

Wow! My surprise as well Mike! Quick response time. I'm glad she did, if for nothing else peace of mind, and knowing she (you) can check every day.
