got any pics of that? I'm not quite able to visualize.
Sure! See attached.

I'm not sure 2 seconds will be quick enough...
Perhaps not, but I can't draw any faster than that from any other concealed carry rig I own (sweater, jacket, front pouch - it all takes time to get the concealment out of the way). That's why, by and large, I simply OC. Less than a second from decision to bullet exiting the barrel.

It was mine EXACTLY. I knew after 6 days that there was no way I could CC a full size firearm. I said screw it and bought an OC holster on the 7th day.
:lol: My most concealed carry position is with my shoulder holster under a winter jacket. But who keeps their jacket on while indoors? Meanwhile, despite the fact that it's a vertical design (to keep the barrel from sticking out the back while the butt pokes out the front), it still feels like I'm carrying a potato in my armpit.
I just turned in my application today, I got out of the Army in 2002 so no need to take any classes or anything like that, just had to pay them $$$$ Hope it doesn't take too long, 90 days at max....that's a long time.
Give them a call about two to three weeks prior to the 90-day point. A polite and simple, "How's my CHP application coming along? Has it been approved yet?" can help ensure you get it on time.
Personally, and especially in this day and age of electronic access, I think it takes about 3 days for them to gather all the information, and about 87 days for them to sit on it while waiting for you to do something stupid so they can legally deny the permit. Think about it: The CBI background check took about 18 minutes. No, they didn't take fingerprints, but by the time someone has two forms of photo ID, one of which in my case was a military ID card, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the electronic portion of the checks don't take more than a few minutes to process.
What you see in the movies and on TV, where the computers dash through 5 frames a second of either a fingerprint or face recognition is NOT how computers actually do things. Whether fingerprint or face, the images are parameterized into numbers, where they're run through a database for best matches, and sorted in order of statistical significance. From there, 95% of the time one's name is the key criteria for the match. Whether or not that's true, other personal information including age, height, race, hair and eye color, are used to corroborate the fingerprint ID. If they don't, the ID is flagged for further review by trained professionals.
