New guy from Alamogordo NM here

[jlsalc]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am currently waiting for my Concealed Carry License. I took the coarse and sent all required paperwork in the beginning of Feb. I called after 90 days of waiting and was told it was the fault of a local agency which had not returned a background check. So I sit here patiently. I plan on concealing a Glock23. I've purchased two concealed holsters, a crossbreed and a middle of the back nylon holster with a clip, well a third if you include the yaki style Fobus. Although open carry is legal in NM, I'm still leery about carrying because of the un-informed especially law enforcement. Thanks for letting me blab. I wish everyone a great day.

Welcome from Las Cruces!

I know it's tough to wait. Yours seems to be taking an extra long time, but it will be worth it once you get it.

Thanks for the re-assurance.

Waiting is always hard.

Just to let everyone know, my wife and I are also from Alamogordo and we sent our forms in on Jan 20th and they signed for them on Jan 22nd. I got my conceal carry license on March 13th but my wife still has not gotten hers!

(Just imagine how hard that would have been if the roles were reversed and I was doing the waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

She has contacted them several times and they say it is still in process and the last she heard a month ago was that it should have be sent in two weeks from then.

Welcome to the site. We are glad to have you. I will agree, waiting is the hard part. My wait time was about 2 months. Not to rub it in or anything.

Hang in there guy, it'll come. Mine took five and a half weeks, but that was a couple of years before it got so popular that the line became so long.

Again, thanks for the re-assurance. I am patiently waiting. When I called and spoke with someone I was told that the wait was due to a local law enforcement agency that had been asked for background information in Feb, but had not responded. Supposedly a 2nd request was sent to them. I plan on calling and checking status next week.

BTW, how do you change your status from Junior Member to Member? Is it a time and amount of posting? Just curious.

[Bman505]

Correct, it changes with your post count. Just means you need to post more!!!:)
