Wow. In Texas my son-in-law passed and submitted the week before Thanksgiving. Still hasn’t got it. The state website still doesn’t even show that they are processing yet. He called 2 weeks ago and they blame the delay on the lowering of classroom hours to an increase in takers. Still the state says 8 weeks max on the issue. There is no excuse for this.
At least in Texas you can still carry in the car loaded without the license as long as it is concealed. You just can’t carry on your person (and get caught).
