That scream you heard earlier today was me. 110 days later I’m now the proud owner of a Florida Concealed Weapons License. Normally I would just hitch the gun on and go do my obligatory wallyworld walk but as you know I do NOT have a gun in which to hitch.

Ruger called me yesterday and informed me that my LCP would be ready to be retrofitted in 9 days then they would call me and let me know when it is on the way.

I can’t believe I finally have this license. I feel like you all should gather around and ooh and aah while I hand out chocolate to all the proud new uncles.

MamaBear,

I'm proud of you for hanging in there so long. Heck, I'm gonna go make me a cup of coffee right now in your honor. Oh, yea, ooh and aah. Congrats. :dancingbanana:dancingbanana:dancingbanana

Congratulations.

[flccnp]

That is great news.

Anybody in Mama Bear territory available to loan her a weapon for a WallyWorld walk?

 

[Jbuck]

We can party together. Mine also came in the mail today! Application mailed 8/27.

Well well well...congratulations MamaBear. I think all of us on here have lived this little soap opera right along with you. Glad to see this chapter close, now we can move on to the next..I think we all can relate to the feeling you got today when you opened the mail and saw your picture looking back at ya..:drinks

gun loan

MamaBear,

I'm not sure where in Orlando you might be, but if you need to borrow a gun for your Wally World walk, let me know. I can lend you a Glock 26 and holster for the day. It's bigger than your LCP (by a long shot) but still concealable.

Y'all are so nice to me. I knew last Friday that my license was issued because I called them again but dared not jerk you all around by posting that info. I was not going to post until my license was in hand.

I do have a .38 but no holster because I've never considered it for my carry gun. I do love shooting that thing though. It would poke out a bit more so I'm not even going to try to hide it.

My dh has a Walther PPS and I've worn it around the house but am not sure I can conceal it outside. It is not the right holster for the clothes I wear (it's that girl thing) so I guess I'll just have to wait on the LCP. Str8Shooter that is mighty nice of you to offer but I'd be so very nervous carrying a gun that wasn't mine. Besides, that is what dear hubby is for...so I can go raid his closet and take what I want. Isn't that the way it works at your house?

Congratulations Jbuck! Believe me, I know exactly how you feel today. :dancingbanana I'm glad we can share such good news together.

Woooo Who! Chocolate bullets for all! I waited 84 days earlier this year and got mine a week before the 7 yr limit increase. Now just still waiting for mama to approve the purchase of the M&P40c! Of course a job would be nice too! :dancingbanana:dancingbanana:dancingbanana

Deadeyedick,

I just want to hold you down and wash your mouth out with soap but something tells me you would probably enjoy that. :rolf

MamaBear

You have a unique way of saying congratulations.

My daughter is ready to send off her application. I hope she has half the patience you do.

 

[RWBShooter]

Glad you're not gun-less

I'm glad to hear about your license. It's too bad Ruger wasn't on the ball in time to get your LCP back to you. I'm glad to know you and hubby have other guns.

Here's the Wally World for Women map. Go get your salad and diet soda.
