Medical marijuana card is accessible via a state system, not a medical system. Therefore it could be easily discovered. If you have a medical marijuana card, I seriously doubt anyone in California will give you a CCW.

[Sleighter]

For people still looking for examples of good cause, I would highly recommend and appreciate the efforts done by San Diego County Gun Owners to compile a handful of relevant good cause statements. I would encourage everyone to review them and notice the patterns, what is and isn't said, and the main themes that people are using. Then apply those themes and trends to your own life and experiences. Don't just copy/paste, put some effort into it.

Not only does a medical MMJ card disqualify you from CCW but also from gun ownership. That was upheld in 2016 and I'm not aware of any decisions after that to overturn it.

I have no idea how the system works for those cards. I was just venturing a guess.

Curious as to whether they are checking during the CCW process. Personally I think they should have never been legalized and have no problems with gun ban if you have one.

Another advantage with Murrieta is that they interview on weekends so you don’t have to take time off. And if your hourly rate is high, time off adds to the cost.

If you have that high of wages you should have vacation and or personal time you can use.

Nope nope and nope. The extra cost is for one reason: people will pay it. The psych eval is way too intrusive for a CCW. All it takes is a psychologist to say that you are a danger and then you are ****ed in so many ways. Then they want to talk to your neighbors. Why don't you just make me get a tattoo on my forehead that says "Danger, CCW holder."

As far as taking the load off the Sheriff, Sniff himself said that permits for people from Murrieta that still want to go through the Sheriff have INCREASED since Murrieta started offering CCW's.

HIPAA covers health providers, not police.

And since marijuana is illegal under federal law, and HIPAA is a federal statute, I doubt it applies to weed. The Department of Public Health, which gives out the cards, is not a provider. Maybe a dispensary is.

And yeah if you have posted on social media about your card or MJ use, you've probably waived any privacy rights to an MMC.

After your appointment your good to go for the live scan?

By saying your pre- approved, Do you mean your live scan came back to the sheriff and you got the go ahead to proceed with training?

sorry for the questions. I'm just wanting a little more information on what to expect. My appointment is mid october. Thanks

Yes, and specifically you need to be within the jurisdiction of Murrieta PD. I understand there are homes with a postal address in Murrieta but outside of the jurisdiction of the PD, they need to go through the county.

Yes I wanted to be pre-approved before I spent the money on training.

For those interested, as of last weekend I’ve heard that the CCW unit has gotten all of their backlog down to 90 days. So if you’ve been waiting to apply until the wait times came down, now is the time to call and get your name on the list. If 90 days is still too long for you...then I guess you must not care that much about CCW.

I just got bumped from may 2019 to next week and they have openings almost all of Oct from what they told me.


Also I have a question regarding Holsters....... i know this has been asked over and over but i cant find a clear answer. Almost all my holster do not have a thumb retention only trigger retention. Will this be allowed? Also instead of bring 6 dofferant holster will a universal nylon holster work so I can just use 1 holster for all my pistol during qualifying?

Go or no go on iwb kydex trigger pocket retention style?

Go or no go nylon universal holster with nylon thumb strap to fit all my pistols?

Dont beat me up guys but I did a search and did not see a clear cut yes or no.

Thanks

I used one nylon holster for all 3 of mine, worked great! Had a strap but didn't use/need it. I did my requal at Ben Clark recently, the deputies were great!

[Illumi Naughty]

Yes, you can use the single nylon holster for all, they won't sweat it. There's references that they prefer the retention strap, but it's not practical to use the straps when on the firing line. They didn't even instruct us to strap, just holster the weapon and keep your booger hook off the bang switch. No serpas! They talk about why during class.

[lamduh]

Thanks guys for the response.

For me, enrolling at Ben Clark was simply the Deputy asking me during the interview if I wanted to do the CCW Class on my own or at Ben Clark. Then he put me on the BC calendar and said show up with a check. Easy.

The ONLY way to sign up for the class/qual at Ben Clark is through the deputy that does your CCW interview. There is no website, phone number, etc.

[lamduh]

Who has been denied and for what reason if you dont mind me asking? Please PM me

Past denials for been for criminal history, failure to complete the application, good causes that only say self-defense or use specifically fear of mountain lions (mountain lions are a political mess in CA and can’t be hunted), or failure to qualify. Is there something specifically you’re wondering about?

Umm not really just stuff from my juvenile past, young and stupid kind of things. But I was conpmetly honest on the app and explained everything and was over 20yrs ago.

Those situations are usually considered on a totality of the circumstances, time since your history, etc. Unfortunately this is one aspect of the process that is subjective. Please let us know how it turns out for you.

I wish I could help more, but I want everyone to know that I don’t know much about this aspect of the process. Pretty much all that I know is they treat each incidence of past history on an individual basis. The best people to talk about this with would be the deputies in the CCW unit. They can tell you if you should continue the process based on your discussions.

Questions of this type usually hinge not upon what you did when you were "young and stupid", but whether you have since done things which indicate you are older and still stupid. (If you're still robbing banks and beating your wife, you will probably have a bumpy ride.)

Emphasize what you've learned in life since your altercations and what you've accomplished since then.

Good luck.

The phone numbers are the phone numbers to the CCW unit, and the website says nothing about CCW classes. So as I said before, the deputy you interview with is the only one that can put you in the class at Ben Clark.

If I were you I would not worry so much about that stuff from a lifetime ago. I did some seriously questionable things when I was a teenager. Once I joined the Marines all that shenanigans stopped and I became a productive member of society and all-around good guy. When I got my first CCW permit there was only a little over 300 permits in RivCo. Now I think there's over 3,600 permits! Trust me, there's a few juvenile screw ups in those 3,600+ applications.

As long as you are completely honest on the application and disclose all of that stuff then you should be fine. TWENTY years ago you were a different person than you are today. Be honest. Be thorough. Be approved!!

IF you have not watched the youtube video posted by VCMJ already then I would highly encourage you to do so. I'll embed it here for your convenience. This is an interview with Sgt Adams who runs the CCW unit for RCSO:



Once you have watched that one and have much more time on your hands then I would recommend THIS one. This is an interview with Riverside Sheriff Stan Sniff. Another enlightening foray into the RivCo CCW process:



Cheers!!

[lamduh]

So from the video hes suggest to qualify before your interview. I assumed we should qualify after. Like another cgn member stated here I would also like to know I have been approved before spending the money to qualify. Should i schedule at ben Clark now before my interview date just to speed up the process?

I just had my appt finally after 2 yrs. I will be in the October 20th qualifier class. My question being If they had any doubt would they schedule you for the qualifying or not.
