Congrats man! Glad it all worked out for you, and it'll probably be even sweeter when that plastic arrives knowing that you had to jump through some extra hoops to earn it.

Got the plastic today. Yep, feels like a quite an accomplishment, considering the bittersweet ordeal. But I'm glad the ...

Status went to Mailed today!! Will let you know when I have the plastic.

Whew. What a long journey this has been. Thanks to everyone for your support here through the process!

Another update. I had the psychologist evaluation about a week and a half ago. It was fairly painless, but they weren't kidding when they said it would take 5 hours. In fact, I almost went over that time.

The report was put in the mail last Tuesday afternoon. Wish me luck.

Thanks to everyone offering up suggestions thus far. I have an update.

I had exhausted over 50+ different psychiatric offices, all of which turned me down either because they needed me to sign up as a "new patient" or because they can't/won't do the analysis that I require. I talked to a few more ...

I'm in Dallas -- thanks for any help.

This is exactly how I feel. Sorry for your troubles, too, my friend.

Still hoping to find a doctor to get mine done and sent off.

Why not just get a Florida CHL and be done with it?

Does Florida require self-disclosure of any prior hospital stays on its application form? If so, I have the same problem as presently.

Also, I feel some kind of obligation to get myself clear and vindicated within the state which I reside ...

Just an update. So far, no luck. I have called around to almost 3 dozen different psychiatrist offices, but no go. Either the doctor "isn't taking any new patients", or they "don't do" requests like mine.

I've notified a few gun rights lawyers about my situation, just to see if they have any ...

Just brainstorming ... seems the same type of psychiatrist who would sign off on a peace officer being "fit for duty" could/would sign off on your situation, or at least point you toward a colleague who could.

I doubt any law enforcement agency will make an official recommendation, but if you ...

In case anyone is interested, here are the forms that a doctor has to fill out on my behalf, attached. There is also an instructional letter and a form for authorization to release records. (Recall when reading these that I haven't had any history of issues in the past 13 years, and that I also self ...

Yet another reason I am firmly against any and all "psychiatric evaluations" in order to exercise our Constitutional rights.

PwnRanger is in exactly the sort of situation that Those Who Know Better want for all of us, that of asking Permission from a NON-impartial, BIASED "third party." Any ...

My suggestion is to put on a coat of patience and understand you are probably facing a long delay and big expense (depending on your health insurance coverage). The last thing you want to do in appear impatient about getting your chl. That would throw up all kinds of red flags. Submit kindly to ...

Thanks for the replies. I've already tried the avenues that you suggest. Neither my original doctor (the one which I did outpatient with) or the therapist are practicing any longer. I have asked the clinic to see if they can locate my records, but so far they haven't been able to find anything ...

Okay folks, so here is the deal:

My CHL application (submitted in February) is in limbo. For the time being, the story is that they are neither going to accept or deny my license. They (Texas Department of Public Safety) have referred my case to the Medical Advisory Board, which has required that I ...
