    As the law permits non US citizen to hold a CHL so long as they are something like a Permanent Resident Alien (read Green Card holder like me), I did my CHL class and mailed the app this past weekend. Given that its taking something like 4-6 months to issue CHL to you fine upstanding US born and breads, I’m taking bets on how long it will take to get mine! I figure it will be about renewal time !

    Seriously any imports have any experience ..... or wagers ?

    I was going to ask who paid for it, but then I realized you said LEGAL ALIEN, otherwise I thought maybe the taxpayers were footing the bill... lol

    Friend, if I had my say, they would issue you a pistol and a box of ammo with your CHL.....The damned illegals no doubt have their illegal pistols
    so we need to even the score !!

    Besides living in your former land where firearms are frowned upon was a
    punishment you should not have ever had to bear. God gave you the right to defend yourself, your family and your posessions, no Queen or obama
    has the right to rule otherwise !! God Bless Texas !!

    I just want to know just what the hell "Bob's your uncle" means

    About the (only) way I can think to answer and give the full correct phrase is with the equivalent American phrase which is (& probably spelt incorrectly)……….
    “Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom”

    So, I applied for my CHL and “Bob’s your Uncle, Fanny’s your aunt” (bada-bing, bada-boom) it came in the mail.
    Beyond this I have no clue how it came to be. Talk about two countries separated by a common language

    If anyone want to know the story of how Hand Guns / Rifles were eventually removed from very recent British society let me know and I’ll post. But I offer this food for thought with tongue in cheek…..
    Imagine a soccer match……..throw in that the 2 teams are separated on religious lines……the restless home team fans are a goal down……..and with a minute to go, the ref gives a dodgy penalty decision against them….. I’ll take the kick in the head please!

    Cherish what we have

    Thank you And please do post the circumstances on you guys on the other side of the pond getting the shaft as far as gun ownership. I have heard the same story from several Brits I know , but it would be nice to see it here as a warning to your barbarian cousins in the west.
