Got my interview set up. All paperwork is ready to go and I got a smaller more easily concealed weapon. Wish me luck!

Yes & Yes. You have to list the weapons you intend to carry on your application and the CCW coarse has to be completed before you are approved. I already have pistols but I wanted to buy something smaller before applying so if approved I wouldn't have to ammend my license and pay another $10.

Edit: During my interview I was told that they can now pre-approve an application before taking the CCW class...thus saving you $100 if you're not approved. I think it's a step in the right direction.

Hi everyone, I am a new member to Calguns though I have been following posting on this site for about a year. reviewing past and current postings has encourged me to apply for my CCW in Riverside County with RSO. I have completed my firearms training and all of the requirements prior to making my appointment with thw CCW unit.

Though I have a question about the application. Listed are some 34 additional questions beyond the state application which I thought is not required. It seems most if not all counties in California have dropped this request. any input would help!

The "extra" questions are 100% not required. You do NOT need to submit them. BUT, the RSO doesn't have to issue your CCW either.

The party line is that the questions are needed as part of their background check. Provide the answers, things go faster. Don't, and they can dig into your past as much as they want anyways.

It's probably the only part of the whole process in Riverside that's a bit dicey IMHO (apart from "Personal Defense" not being a valid GC).

RSO actually wants to issue CCW's. RSO also has some of the most lenient rules in regards to the usage of the CCW that I know of. Want to hire yourself out as an armed body guard? No problem. Carrying in Sea World? Keep it concealed. PTO meetings at the school? Bring a gun! It's all good (Just stay out of bars, and don't drink!)

Anyways, Yezzo and Aguirre are great.. Tell them I said Hi!

It makes sense to me. anything that would streamline the process can't hurt. Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it.

OK my B-I-L is getting ready to fill out the Riverside CCW app and I sent him the DOJ app from CGF. It is a very daunting task since neither of us has gone though the process and I live in LA county.... Any words of wisdom are welcome...

Do the letters of recommendation/reference need to be in a certain format? Do they need to be from residents of Riverside county? He just moved there about 9 months ago.

Gobler,

From what I learned in the process so far is stated below:

1) The (3) reference letters MUST simply state that they are aware you are applying for a CCW/LTC with the Riverside County Sheriffs Department and have no issues with you being granted one.

2) That the person writing the letter believes you are of good moral character (at least thats what I did).

3) Any person you know I believe who resides within California (not county specific) but CANNOT be a family member or relative.

Wow, I was visiting someone at a large insurance carriers office the other day and to my suprise I saw a big RED sign in the lobby stating:

"NO FIREARMS ALLOWED ON THESE PREMISES"

I have never been there so i don't know if the sign is new or has been there a while. Is this going to be the new normal in California?

As far as I know, signs like that don't "carry the force of law" in CA. I.e., a person would have to actually (a) notice you were carrying and (b) ask you to leave because of it (at least, that's the way it works with open carry).

The person(s) writing your character reference letters do not need to necessarily be CA residents. One of my mine was written by a friend who lives in Nevada.

So here's my dilemma. I know my GC wouldn't go far. I have no businesses or threats at the present time to my life or my family's lives. I just would like to obtain my CCW in case an issue does arise I wouldn't have to think the "what if".

Being active military I don't know if that will help but I am a certified DoD Marksmanship Instructor. I also know that I will be able to obtain a letter from a sitting judge but not from this county.

I'll gladly accept any advice.

Hate to be the one to tell you, but it's not going to happen. They will not issue to "provide a feeling of safety" or to alleviate "fear of victimization." Your military background won't help either. I too am pursuing an LTC and my GC wasn't good enough either for Riverside County. I'm thinking about moving to SB county just to obtain one where all your GC needs to be is "self protection." I'm not far from there now anyway. Good luck.

Hi all. If your GC is denied, are you then unable to reapply in the same county?

A quick question, I work as a private duty nurse and live in unincorporated Riverside but work in Oceanside (San Diego county). My planned GCS is directly connected to my being a private duty nurse. Can I/should I still apply in Riverside or will I have to apply in SD?

You need to apply where you reside. A San Diego permit, if it were to be granted, can only be valid for 90 days....

Howard was referring to the theoretical possibility of getting a San Diego County non-resident permit. Non-Res permits are only good for 90 days.

Thanks for clearing that up. Wasn't aware of that being offered.

Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case but I remember reading something that (obviously incorrectly) stated that you had to apply in the county you primarily intended to carry in.

I am going to pick up my LTC packet tomorrow...er, today. (Not knowing what day it is is just another of the many joys of working the NOC shift. )

ETA:Ahh, apparently the Sheriffs stations are closed on weekends (I went to the one on Lemon and got the impression they aren't open to the public, even during the week and the one in Juripa is only open to the public 8-5 M-F) Guess I will go Friday after I hit up Centerfire arms to buy the LC9 I have been wanting.

For various reasons, that is taboo. What needs to happen (and is gradually) is a compilation of GC statements obtained by various sources need to be distilled into core reasons so that others have a fair feel for how to tailor theirs. By all accounts, RCSO is pretty cooperative and if you have ANY reason other than general self defense because well, the county's full of dirtbags willing to hurt you, they have a history of working with it.

I thought that obtaining and sharing successful GC statements was one of the goals of the CGF sunshine initiative. They're supposed to be public records, aren't they?
