and if Bloomberg gets his way then it's assault cheeseburger...
Don't forget the evil high capacity soft drink. :roll: :

On the other hand, he's got a point. Really, some people get burgers that are clearly not just for eating. I support our culinary rights, but there has to be sensible burger ...

Howdy, y'all,

I don't have any skin in this game for 3 1/2 more years, but I applied very shortly after Hurricane Ike, and I remember it seemed like my day would never come. Since nobody's posted in the Harris County Applicants folder for a while, I thought I'd ask those of you who are waiting an ...

Congrats Ricky!!!

I guess I can add my info to the data collection:

02/01/09 - Completed CHL Class
02/02/09 - Packet dropped in mail to DPS (didn't think to send it with delivery confirmation)
02/20/09 - Check deposited by DPS
xx/xx/xx - waiting for PIN

What I find funny is that I sent in my U.S. passport renewal ...

Mine's a line from "Boogie Nights" starring Burt Reynolds and Mark Wahlberg.

I thought this might be a good indicator of how things are going for us Harris County folk:

An acquaintance of mine who took the class with me and mailed her packet the same day received her plastic today. She made no phone calls to Austin, wrote no letters to representatives at any level. 110 days ...

Happy to report a phone call from the DPS licensing division; my bg is done, all systems go. I suppose some time next week I'll see some plastic. Today is the 85th day.

Boy, that was a nice call to get on a Friday...I guess it's time to start surfing holster sites!

Have a good weekend, y'all ...

Thanks everyone for the tips on printing, IWB/OWB, holster placement, etc. Someone may have answered this already, but I can't find it...so here goes:

Monday through Friday, I am expected to dress like a Yuppie. This may, in fact, mean that I AM a Yuppie, but I try to delude myself. Nevertheless ...

You will need the aforementioned PIN, but you should start getting used to the look of this page now. You're going to be looking at it for a long time if you live anywhere near the Gulf of Mexico.

Nope. Just same ol' bull. Let's take a look.

Sorry, HGWC, by "here's the latest" I meant "here's what's most recently been said/done to me/for me." I apologize if you misunderstood me.

The only reason she's calling you at all is because the DPS is getting hassled by your representatives ...

Allrighty, y'all, here's the latest.

Last week, a nice lady named Marion called my house. Mrs. KingOfDirk answered (as I was fervently checking DPS site...err..I mean, " working " at the time) and was told the folks in Austin had received a request from my State Rep (Garnet Coleman) to move things ...

How in the world did you find the willpower to tear yourself away from THE SPEECH long enough to check?

Congratulations!

Well this is great fun.

I never got a reply from my State Rep, so I thought I'd ping his office with a fax. We'll see if that merits so much as a "why do you want one of those?", since my elected officials are a little less excited about Heller than most of us...

While feeling frisky, I sent a fax ...

Maybe they could start sending them in one of those musical greeting cards...."The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You"
