Today - waiting background check. Darn that high clearance I had. Always slows down background checks.

So background check was in process 3/04
Today 03/15 it is complete and manufacture is pending.

I'd wondered myself about it and as best as I can tell it means simply "First time out you go shopping at a Wal-mart!"

I'm not positive about this of course, and wonder if it has anything to do with concealing among the types of people that shop there i.e. average Americans?

Pretty much. Doesn't have to be Walmart, just your first walk carrying your firearm among the masses to help get over the perception that everyone is watching and can tell you a carrying a weapon.

Received my plastic on Friday, or 46 days from mailing docs to receipt. Did the Wallywalk this afternoon as I have been down at Rodeo virtually every day. Feels GOOOOOOOD... Wishing all of those waiting a quick exit from the waiting room. Cheers!

You should scan the originals and upload them to the website. At least then you would/should get an email saying they received your documents.

I mailed of my originals on March 4th, like a an idiot...
however I did borrow my buddies scanner and i have digital copies of the originals in addition to hard copies.

Whats the rule of thumbs about calling the lovely ladies down at the Department of Public Safety? 40 days since mail-out?

I am anxious to exercise my rights and incorporate them into my daily life!

status finally updated and now shows mailed. must have changed late Friday or over the weekend. my wait is nearly over. today is 91 days since submission. I hope to have my permission slip this week.

I would go ahead and submit the electronic copies through the website. If nothing else, just to make sure they get them twice! Good call on making copies and scanning them for your records.

I mailed off my Package today. I did certified mail even thou I know it may slow down the process. At least I will have tracking information for my documents. I completed my online application 2/27/14 and submitted fingerprints 3/10/14.
