This timeline is X2, because I sent in my wife's application along with mine and they cashed both checks on the same day.

I called today(08/14/09) and they told me that mine was issued yesterday(08/13/09), and then I handed the phone to Mrs. Straight Shooter and hers was issued today! We should recieve in the mail in 7-10 days.

It came Today (08/17/09)!!!!!!!!!!!!:dancingbanana:dancingbanana
89 days mailbox to mailbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dancingbanana:dancingbanana
Time for the Wally walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dancingbanana:dancingbanana

We expect the wife's license to arrive tomorrow, as her license was issued the day after mine.

I realize that this is a serious responsibilty (the decision to carry), That being said, I chose to break this news to my wife in the following fashion:

I went into my office and closed the door, I new that it was here as soon as I saw the envelope. I opened the envelope and saw my license for the first time, and I read the accompanying literature. I googled the James Bond theme song and I found it. I put my novelty CWP badge around my neck, and I donned my "Sherlock Holmes" style hat. I posed with my (unloaded)Kimber in one hand and my new License in the other, I pressed play on the Theme song and called my wife into the office! As soon as she came in and saw me in that "get up" we both about Died with laughter, and then she came and gave my a big congratulatory hug and a kiss, and she said where's my license? I said,"It didn't come today honey, but hopefully tomorrow!" As previously stated, hers was issued the day after mine and we sent them in the same package to the DOA, at least our license numbers are exactly the same, with the exception of the last digit(I am 4 and she is 5).
Upon examining my license she said, "that's a terrible picture, you look so angry and pale grey" The DOA obviously does not use the same technology as was used on my drivers license. We will do some more celebrating after the Dolphins game tonight!

Stay tuned for the latest updates, reported as they happen!

Congrats on getting the CCW. 89 days is pretty good.
congratulations, look forward to hear your wally walk report.
i know what you mean about the pale grey skin on the license photo. mine looks like i need a blood transfusion.
Congratulations!!!! Happy Birthday to you and me! It is my birthday (really)! I got my AARP application today! :dancingbanana I'm now in the same boat as Mamabear! "At the top of hill and going down the other side, pickin' up speed" :rolf I'm not joinin' AARP though as they support Odumbo and the gubermental policies they are trying to pass. :puke Now get out there and act like the Second Amendment American you are!

Don't bet on it. Our Jags will ruin that for you. :D

In my opinion it should not take this long for something that is a God/Constitutional given right to bear arms, but we have to abide by the law and wait our turn I guess. Imagine if you are a target for someone that has threatened your life and you want to carry a gun, having to wait 3-6 months to LEGALLY carry is not right. God forbid this person gets you killed while you're waiting for your CCW and it was preventable if you had a weapon on you. Congrats to Straight Shooter. Be safe.
Congrats! Straight Shooter!

Whoo-hoo :dancingbanana

Also, I wouldn't necessarily count on your wife getting her license tomorrow. It doesn't work like that in real life or up in Tallahassee. If not tomorrow, then soon.

Just let us know.

Happy birthday to you, Eagle Eye, you OLD man. :rolf

I'm with you on the AARP thing. It wasn't just an application but it already had a card with my name on it. My dh says to join because he wants discounts on whatever it is we old people get discounts on. All I have to do is send in the $$ to be a member. I just *can't* do it knowing their political stands...although...aren't they the ones backtracking and not supporting the medical package like they were at first?

Just wondering.

I wasn't talking about that kind of celebrating!

Thank you to all of you well wishers!

And Happy Birthday to you Eagle Eye ! :drinks
Do you realize that you have probably slept 15+years of your life away!
Congrats on the license -- :dancingbanana
Ok so you've had the license for almost 24 hours now. Where's the Wallyworld Walk report and bingo card scoresheet? :aarg We all know you went there last night because you're on the "list" now!

Talk about being on a list...Sign up for AARP and be prepared for an absolute onslaught of advertising, sales pitches, and complete nonsense from an organization out to 'help seniors'..I paid for 1 year and did not renew..I still get mail on a consistent/annoying basis from them, what a waste of paper..Where are the tree huggers when you need them? :aarg

The wallyworld report will be forthcoming, if I can get there today! Unfortunately I couldn't carry last night, I was getting rained on at the offensive showcase put on by the Dolpins & Jaguars. At least the Dolphins won!:rolf

Stay tuned for more late breaking reports as they develop !
