It's not generally too long from here, is it? It seems like a lot of people are seeing "Mailed" the day or two after this update.
Status updated to "Mailed" today (day 88)! Looks like I'll be carrying this weekend possibly!

I have a DA'd state jail felony from 10 years ago, my background check took around 3 weeks. Do you have something in your background that would cause the holdup?

Awesome. Contacting your rep almost always gets the ball rolling very quickly.

Congrats, but 92 days is a little misleading. You didn't take your class until 2 weeks after you started your online application. Typically your timeline starts once all required items have been submitted which in your case would be around 78 days which is why I assume you are posting in the March applications thread instead of the February applications thread. Not being critical, just trying to keep apples to apples for other people trying to gage timeline trends.

I see what you mean, but it was in fact around three months or 91 days (I had a typo) according to daycalc.appspot.com/03/08/2014 (a handy little tool for anyone wanting to calculate their number of days, replace my date with yours), and I submitted all paperwork online after I got back from my CHL class on March 8th. I'm not sure why my application took a while, but for other applicants, my timeline is not representative of what you should expect. Sorry for the confusion, jmra.
