As a suggestion I make to most of those in waiting, wear your EDC around the house every chance you get. See what works and what doesn't work for you. Get comfortable with the extra weight. Most of all, get a good GUN belt and holster.

Be safe and may you never have to use it.

Thanks. Truth be told, I am good to go with carrying. My WIFE, who has had her LTC for a while now, can't find anything she likes except purse carry. I think the women have a harder time trying to carry on their bodies than the men do.

I am in Dallas. I wanted to post the progress of the application so others can gauge the current wait times.
