Seen where they signed for the package so I sent them an email this morning to make sure everything was satisfactory with the new photos (since I didn't know that something was wrong with the first ones until 20 days after they received my first package) and they tell me that they don't have my package. I don't know if they check their mail everday or once a week so the wait continues. :waiting:
This seems to be the stall tactic of the month. Same thing happened to me...rejected photos!! Mailed new one and nothing seems to be happening. They say my license is being printed and should be arrive in 1 to 2 weeks, but they have given that same response now two weeks on a row!!!! I think they get swamped and then find a reason to start stalling things. BTW...first photos have nothing wrong with them!
As far as them checking their mail......mail is not delivered to the address you put on the envelope...goes to central mail room and then distributed from there.

I hope you get it soon. Maybe I will get an update next week. Good luck and thanks for the info on the central mail room.

jeelliott71 - CONGRATS !!!

and today, having just received my plastic via first class mail, i join you and the thousands of others here, and around this great country of ours, that have embraced the constitutional right and social obligation to carry a firearm...

PS it'll be so much more comforting now to not have to leave the dang thing in the car anymore !!!

I celebrated this weekend by buying myself a new Kimber Eclipse Pro II, and it was sure nice being able to present my CHL and not have to go through the telephone background check!

px4 pirtle - almost there - we're getting dangerously close to everyone being across the finish line in our JAN2010 class !!!

PS your CHL comes in a pretty plain looking white envelope with your name on a label - nothing inside except the plastic !!!
