Score!!!!! My CCW is Approved!
Howdy Folks!
As those of you who have met me know, I have been somewhat paranoid since applying for my CCW that I would be denied.
What I've learned over the years is that the things I most fret about don't happen.
This bit of wisdom has never yet kept me from fretting about stuff.
For example, I figured I'd get turned down when I decided to buy my first handgun back in April.
To my great relief, I passed the background check and was able to buy a gun.
Every time I went to buy a gun, I fretted whether I'd still pass background, despite having not done anything to disqualify me.
Nevertheless, I fretted each and every purchase.
Then I took the CCW class and fretted whether I'd qualify on the range for my certificate of completion.
Should I have cause to worry? No, not really. I always shoot well on the range.
But that didn't keep me from fretting about it anyway.
When we shot for qualification, I did really well. So did the wife.
When the day came that my pardner, my wife and I all went together to the sheriff's office for our CCW permits, I figured it was futile for me to apply for one. I figured I'd get turned down. We did the whole process; fingerprinting, applications, photographs.
Still, I fretted about whether I'd get approved. You guys who have met me recently know this is true! You've heard my lamentations!
I found out today.... SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife passed, as I knew she would, but so too did I.
My wife works at the sheriff's office, and the deputy in charge of those permits ran into my wife today and told her we were approved for our CCW permits. Even me! The deputy who must sign our permits was not at work today, but should be there tomorrow. If he shows up, I should have my brand spanking new CCW permit by noon tomorrow. Hopefully the guy ain't off on a two week vacation or something odd. Something new to fret about! LOL!
Just shows to go ya, I really didn't need to fret about the whole darn thing.
Which, of course, didn't keep me from fretting about it.
The things I worry about most never seem to happen.
And in this instance, I scored!
Can't wait to see it in my very own hands!
Until that happens, I guess I can enjoy another fret or two!
And I still intend to open carry whenever the whim takes me!
Blessings,
