I didn't request an evaluative score, but before departing, the doc asked whether I had any questions for her so I in turn asked whether she had any reservations about me or whether anything had jumped out or concerned her, and she was comfortable discussing it at that level (bottom line: amplitude was zero. Even across, nothing remotely concerning).

Glad to hear that - my doc seemed to be in a rush towards the end, so I couldn't get much out of them.

Unfortunately I don't believe we'll ever see the raw score/analyzed results. I asked the doctor during the 1:1 and they said they could not give that info. Only result received was a go or no-go for the next phase (livescan/training).

Hi all - if anyone has any questions about the CCW training, feel free to send us a direct message and we'd be happy to answer them. Some vendors want OWB holsters and what not, but we run our training to be as realistic to what you will be doing in real life as possible. Most people will carry IWB holsters covered by a tshirt/ sweatshirt/ jacket, etc. In our training, that is exactly what you should be wearing so we can teach you how to be safe and efficient while doing it. If you're looking to get an early start on that training, we do offer dry fire practice classes that include proper drawing from concealment, etc. Send us a message if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you on the range!

I just completed your 12hr online training course. Scheduled the 4hr range training a few weeks out. I highly recommend your training so far. The video presentations were engaging with quality information and I liked to be able to go at my own pace. See you in a few weeks at LARGC.

If you are stuck waiting for your psych exam appointment, search your inboxes and junk mail for the sender "LEPS". This is who the psych exam invite comes from. I actually missed mine for a few weeks until I did that search. They only email once!

Interesting. Previously, when checking the status, I too had the yellow bar. I now see this:

Mine changed to that too. Used to be processed yellow. Now it?s exactly the same as what you posted.

Bring your preferred carry holster in your preferred draw position except for cross-draw. Folks drew from 12 to 5 o'clock with A/IWB and OWB holsters. You will only qualify each firearm once, so bring your favorite holster for each one. Most, if not all, holsters were harder shell variants (Kydex-like). I'd also recommend wearing what you'd expect to wear day to day while concealed carrying, and maybe a jacket if the morning is chilly.

I don't recommend bringing any rigs, battle belts, etc - all the drills were done from concealment. Don't bring any holsters that have active retention locks (ex. index finger release). If you are still unsure, feel free to bring them all or send them an email prior.

I also interviewed on 4/12 and haven't heard back at all. I am happy to see that at least some of us are seeing progress. I thought this day would never come haha.

Same boat. Interview on 4/12. Here on 5/26 and crickets.

On the site, on the progress bar, "assigning to processor shortly..." is in yellow.

Well, that's fine with me too. I'm a sane, rational, not crazy decent and hard working American so I don't really care what their evaluation is. Just jumping through their hoops to be able to exercise my Constitutional rights!

[jjexpat00]

It wasn't difficult or challenging at all and I'm interested to see the results.

I just completed my psych exam and received the scheduling email the same day to set up my 1 on 1 appointment. Scheduled that for next week.

I was in a time crunch to finish the exam so I was focused, reading fast and moving quickly. I finished in 1hr 15min and feel like I did just fine. LOTS of questions around drinking & alcoholism, anger and rage and how quickly you have it and let go of it, family happiness, some indirect questions on your feelings towards the law and finally questions trying to identify your profession as either an engineer/scientist vs the arts vs journalism. Strange.

It wasn't difficult or challenging at all and I'm interested to see the results.

Another point. There were about 12 others in the Google Meet window. Several of them would not mute their mics and kept making noises and talking to themselves throughout the exam. Another guy kept asking questions of which the proctor would answer none. Get a clue people! I had to turn the volume off to quit being distracted.

[tbombaci]

I know, right? I'm still in a "wincing, waiting for the other foot to fall" conditioned disbelief that this'll still happen.

LOL, I'm happy for you either way, just waiting and checking my email.
