Solano
UPDATE (2014 April 12): post #1082 and after indicate that the SO is issuing CCWs more liberally, but not for mere "self-defense"/"personal protection" yet. So I've just adding a "thumbs up" symbol, but not an Alert symbol or "TIME TO APPLY" to the title.
***** For a complete copy of the 2008 - 2009 amended Solano Co grand jury findings re. CCWs, go to: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1060361 Here's a link to a local CBS news report ("Lawsuits Prompt Bay Area Sheriffs To Issue Concealed Weapons Permits", 2013 Nov 20) re. the impact of the grand jury findings: Things changed in 2009, after a grand jury found the Solano County sheriff may have had an “informal policy” of “denying access…and/or discouraging applicants.” The number of people applying for new concealed carry permits has skyrocketed in Solano County, from 27 in 2011 to 254 so far this year. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/201...apons-permits/ |
Application sent in, note that Solano County only allows two handguns per permit and also charges well over what the state mandates. But I think you already knew that.
|
Also, is there going to be a plan to allow folks to start threads here? Right now it's permission denied.

Does anyone have any experience attempting to get a CCW permit in Solano County? Or, is Havoc70 the initial "test case"? I read the article about Sacramento Sheriff McGinness changing their standards. Do the folks at CGF have any optimism that other counties will follow suit, or do they believe that most will only give in after the court orders it? Either way, I guess it is a good reason to donate to the Foundation. Thank goodness they will fight to uphold the Constitution, even if some elected officials won't.
|
I believe PurpleK is in the middle of the process also...there's a thread around here somewhere that he started...
I will be getting mine in shortly. |
Are the folks applying coordinating with Brandon or Gray? It is important that these things be done in certain ways, and that those coordinating the efforts know EXACTLY what is being used as GC etc.
|
I'm ready to apply, but I'll wait for word about what is and isn't working. It would also be great if they could clean up that mess of an application.

If someone was to have completed the 832PC back in the late 80's at a community college how would one go about getting that proof?

I have no idea if they were required to report it to POST and I do not recall getting any type of certificate.
|
When I took my 832 in the early 90s it was a POST approved course and I received certificates

edit: how much are they charging? |

Thanks |
The Sheriff requested a DMV printout today. New policy change since August.
|
SO, what are the reccommended steps to applying for a CCW permit?
|
Solano does not charge any fees until after their initial review of your application. If you get past the initial review you'll come in for fees and fingerprinting. If you pass the background check you'll be instructed to schedule your training with one of the approved instructors.
|
I guess they liked my DMV info. There was a message on my machine this evening to schedule my training. Bow chicka bow bow...

So if I'm interested in getting a CCW in Vacaville, where IIRC the Police Chief requires a high dollar bond/insurance ($1M I think), can I just go to the sheriff instead and bypass the requirement?
Being a business owner who deposits money at the bank, what are my chances of being accepted? |
You can bypass the PD and go directly to the Sheriff.

Let's not individually challenge Solano at this point; we're already working directly with Solano to correct deficiencies.
|
So hold off applying until the green light is given? I can do that.

I just looked at the Solano Sherif fee schedule and it says that the cost for a new ccw from the Sheriff is $229.00 + a $95.00 DOJ fee. I don't know what excessive is or what is considered illegal, to me it doesn't seem excessive but that's me. Several years ago, Fairfield city council chose to jack the city fee for a ccw to $1000.00 which I know that you'll correct me if I'm wrong they got there ***** handed to them for that.
Gary Stanton is the first Sheriff for Solano County that is giving CCW's to his Correctional Officers and to average joe citizen. Every other Sheriff that we have had wouldn't even consider it, even if one of his officers had death threats from Prison Gangs that were validated by CDCR and the FBI. Yeah he only allows 2 guns and for employee's they can not be single action. Though I have met someone that had a CCW from Solano and he was able to carry a 1911. |

"I too shall wait in the wings to see what happens! I'd like to apply when the time is right."
I'm with you on that. When the environment is right, my app will be on it's way within...well...a realistic amount of time. Does one need to submit separate Live Scan, or will a current COE do the trick? |

As a Dixon resident, I'm most interested in seeing our county's CCW reform similar to Sac. Are there any plans for legal action to accomplish in the near future?

There is no need for an additional lawsuit at this point. Let Richards (nee Sykes) work its way through the system. When we win there it will apply to the whole state. Most counties will comply with the ruling and those that won't can be addressed numerous ways. Any suit that mimics Richards or Peruta at this point is redundant and would ultimately be mooted by one of those before it gets decided. |
