Pickup my Fresno City CCW Thursday...
Have my appt to pick up my CCW Thursday in the city of Fresno. Process took several months. CCW dept was professional throughout the process. squeaky clean record. Drive 50 miles each way to work, work off hours and drive through all parts of town at somewhat odd hours. I would say it was self-defense if I summed it all up. |

Congrats. Fresno needs more armed law abiding civilians not thugs. I recently got mine with county. Any info on city process would be appreciated. Have friends in city limits considering their permit.

1. No psych exam 2. need at least 3 references that are not family or coworkers Sent letters to references and did inform them what it was for. indicated on letter that if they felt I should not have a CCW they would not tell me the contents of the responses they get. 3. they visited my neighbors but did not tell them what it was for. Of course the neighbors asked me what was up. I did not tell them it was for a ccw. I also did not use neighbors as a reference. I really don't want neighbors to even know I have guns in the house and some might be anti-2A 4. They determine good cause first before having you come in for the livescan. 5. Wait to take CCW class until they determine you have good cause. Everybody's good cause is unique but mine was heavy on protection of me and my family. I travel alone to work 50 miles each way and because it is so far I sometimes get home late and leave for work early. As I said, the CCW dept was professional, kept me informed throughout the process regarding what was going to happen, and did not make me feel I was bothering them when I called in to check the status of my application. Class at the Range in Fresno was $75, fingerprinting was $20, City of Fresno fee $100, DOJ Fee $95 - $290 + 100 rounds of ammo total to get it done. |

Is it an option to go directly to the SO if you live in the city? If you can, I wonder if that is unique to Fresno or do other counties allow that... That option might be attractive so some that think the references and neighbor visits are intrusive. |

https://www.calgunsfoundation.org/wp...4-decision.pdf So, yes, you can always go to the county first to get licensed. If the county is easier or just as easy to get licensed at, you should clearly do that so that you can move to different cities with in the county and maintain your license.

I'm not surprised they batch them up for the chief's signature. That's what they did for the good cause letters and other stuff.
I have to get it done before work so I'm going in at 6:30. Congratulations! By the way, I'm scrambling a little for my carry gun. I had to send back the slide from my nano (bad night sight) so now I'm going to carry the tomcat until I get a holster for my glock and the nano get's back. |

I'm an early bird as well.
Every time I go in to get a new license when I change guns they are always able to get me in early!

I need to add my glock to my permit. The Range will "process" (whatever that means) it for me but what is the process to add a gun? I was going to ask Ray tomorrow - is there something I can do tonight to have ready for tomorrow morning? |

Sorry for the noob question. Can I get a DROS for my gun myself or do I ask the range for that. Or am I supposed to have it in a file somewhere.... Is it available online? |

You may be able to get a copy from the store you bought it from.

Yes, I noted the license plate after I left and thought it was probably you.
I asked Ed about changing out a gun - he said you are in all the time doing that... Too bad it's only 3 or I would just add but I want to replace my full size beretta 92 with a glock 30sf. He said it is no problem and no trouble. |

Yeah, it took me a while before I was happy with my trio. I'm actually pretty set now. I wanted to love the EMP but it just wasn't comfortable for me and then I just kind of went on a rotation through my stash until I felt good about my selections for the different applications I would need. Believe it or not, when we shook hands I was carrying 2 of my 3. Now that you got it, carry often, get used to it and make your nacho run! I'm no old salt by any means but in my experience it didn't take long for it all to be second nature to me. When I took my annual Hawaiian vacation it felt so damn weird not having it.
