Congrats. I'm trying to convince everyone I know to go get theirs, even if they don't own a gun. I've explained that if they needed one they could get a gun that very day, but the license takes some time. Best to have it and not need it.
Wife and I just applied on 11/18 so the wait is just beginning. At least I can still carry until the lifetime comes in so the wait won't be as painful as it is for some of you. I got my money's worth out of this last permit, was down to 3 days before it expired.....lol
