Credit Where Credit's Due

As posted earlier, I submitted my Texas Concealed Carry License (CCL) renewal about 30 days ago. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive it in the mail a few days ago. Immediately after obama was elected there was such a flood of people applying that processing times were in excess of six months (much like the run on firearms and ammo). The Texas Department of Safety (the licensing agency here) was the subject of much criticism - some deserved, some not. In any event, it seems that they've got their act together and are now functioning with about as much efficiency as one can expect from any government agency. Props to DPS.

Of course, We the People really shouldn't have to jump through government hoops to exercise our Constitutional rights, but that's a whole 'nother story...
