Just checked the site and it has been updated to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active". Should be here today or tomorrow.

Called today and got in touch with the extremely nice lady working on my application. She told me my background checks had come back and she would have my license in the mail tomorrow. She even thanked me for including all the certified dispositions, even though some of them were't totally required. Said it made it alot easier for her.

So in a few days, hopefully, the mail lady will bring me a present. Might get it in time to be able to carry on the long drive to an event saturday, but probably not.

Got my PIN number in the mail today. Website shows "Processing Application".

Does this mean my fingerprints weren't rejected or is there still a possibility that they could be sent back? Hoping this means I am in the clear and just waiting on background checks to come back.

Got the return receipt back today, shows delivery on Oct 30th.

Also got my holster worn in, nice to actually be able to draw the gun.

I took ElGato's class Oct 7th. Finally was able to mail it in today. Had to go through a bunch of stuff to release my own juvenile records to me. Got everything packed up, checked the checklist and every spot on every form at least 30 times and sent it certified mail with return receipt. Hopefully I will have it in 59 days or less. Might just get it for xmas, although I have a feeling my fingerprint cards will be sent back, my middle fingerprint for the left hand on the 4 finger spot is a little smudged.

Also got my holster and extra magazine in the mail today. Went with a Don Hume open top. Very nice so far, hugs the body pretty well. Holster is very tight though so I'm trying what someone on the XD forums said to try. Put the gun in 3 plastic grocery bags and leaving it holstered like that overnight. Anyone know of another way to losen up a leather holster? As it is now I can't even draw it at all. Have to take it off and tug it out.
