I applied for my Concealed Handgun License several weeks ago. Last Friday, I got a letter in the mail from the Texas Department of Public Safety informing me that they had (finally) recieved my application. Not only that, but I could track my application's status as they work on it.
Of course, it's still in the "processing" phase. According to DPS, it will "make every effort to issue your license within 60 days" providing it's a valid application and you are eligible. And then I'll have one more Official Plastic Identification Thingy in my wallet.
I already have a Browning Hi Power, but it's too large to carry concealed effectively. The next challenge, assuming the DPS and FBI don't find anything worrisome in my past or application, is finding something powerful enough to bother carrying and something small enough to conceal. Not to mention something that I can shoot with accurately. *grin*
UPDATE(6/2/2003 5:17pm)
I've finally been granted the CHL.

Oh. My. God. I can't help but remember the time in the arcade when you distinctly said "I need to go shoot something." Good thing that's not on your record.
Posted by: Erik on April 9, 2003 12:11 PMHeh, today in our office I showed my Co-workers a video of upcoming weapon technology. The discussion of course went straight to guns and how bad America is with guns. They were discussing about how laws are gonna need to change etc.
Then one said "obviously we don't wanna become like America, with guns in every home"
then I 'coughed' and corrected him that at least 1 of us wants things that way.
What am I trying to say?
You are a lucky bastard and fuck you :p
I need more goddamn rights. Shame I aint Canada, you could invade my homeland and give me some. Alas, being a strong ally and all.. I can only hope you'll destroy free marketing until Australia concedes.
