Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause! App turned in 11/17, Approval letter dated 12/9 arrived yesterday 12/18. Thank you CGF, I never thought that I would ever get a CCW permit in California. Donation will be coming!
Now off to get livescanned. I too have been full body printed so many times for various stuff that I must have a DOJ frequent flier number. BTW, my son who is 21 has an initial appointment in January, that may well make him the youngest applicant (turned 21 one month ago).

These applications are different.
http://www.sacsheriff.com/organizati...es/ccw_app.pdf http://calgunsfoundation.org/downloa...p_Fillable.pdf The one from SacSherriff looks more standardized and the other one from Calguns has text already added for a couple of the questions (question number 10 and the good cause statement). I have my appointment soon and I need to know, which one is everyone using (the first or the second link)? |

The form is the same, but some useful text has been pre-entered into the version at our download section. We've also made it easy to fill out, as the entire form is now enter-able in Acrobat Reader vs printing and hand-writing.
Make sure you keep a copy of everything you do for your records. Quote:

When is the best time to schedule my training for the CCW. I had my initial application appointment, and the interviewer told me the committee meets on Jan 12th. Should I wait until I get my approval letter and get live scanned, or get going sooner?

I think you can do you safely do your training anytime between now and late January and you'll be fine unless you have any arrests in your history that you think the approval might be uncertain.

I went ahead and did mine before my initial appointment. When the detective asked for any documentation I might have showing handgun training I handed him my CCW/NRA Pistol Course certificate. He took a copy of it; it couldn't have hurt, I got my approval last week.

Wes, I was told that since my previous training was taken too long ago, I had to take a CCW training course. That's why I was in your class last week.
In any event, Amber advised me that they want you to have taken the training within the past 2 years. In the long thread referenced here, they'd really like the training to have occurred within the previous 90 days. In any event, if you're not sure you'd be approved, wait for the approval letter. Then take the training and do the Live Scan. If you're certain you'll be OK, do the training while waiting to turn in your application. That way, you do your Live Scan shortly after the approval and once you get the final OK, you just set up the appointment to turn in the certificate of completion and qual cards and you're GTG. That's about as short of a time frame as you will be able to make things go. The rest is out of your hands. |

Nov 18th - turned in app

Mine looked like this, typed on Word, printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper:
Details of Reason for Applicant desiring a CCW License I am requesting a CCW license for the purpose of fill in the blank and the protection of fill in the blank. Signature First and Last Name Street Address Town, CA Zip That simple. It worked for me. Name and address withheld for obvious reasons, and statement truncated because others on Calguns have stated that we shouldn't publish our statements. But, I'm sure you know what you want to say.

Just to let y'all know: I had my visit with Amber today. I was in and out in about 10 minutes, signing the rice paper and providing my thumb print... I was also told that I should expect to receive my rice paper, laminated in style for sure, in:
One or two Allison's. (2-4 weeks). |

Does anyone know how long the wait is between the livescan
results being sent to Amber and getting your approval? I did the livescan on 11/4. FBI sent results on 11/17, and Ca. DOJ sent results to Sac Sherriff on 11/23. It's been almost a month and I have not heard a word on approval or denial |

Does that man the process is now taking 6+ months? Not complaining but that seems kinda messed up.

Things are taking longer now than when I applied since the word has got out more that Sacto is essentially "shall issue". Despite tight budgets in the Sheriff's Department, they have got more people helping process applications but the wait time is longer. I called for my appointment on 7/21 and was able to come in on 9/2 (and my CCW was received 12/4). That seemed like a long time at the time, but it's much worse now. According to the online appointment system (go to the CalGuns CCW initiative page linked in the first post of this thread and go from there), the next appointment dates now available are in April. Fortunately, they are increasing staff time allocated to this as I see they take appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays now (used to be just Thursdays). Fortunately, you know that you are pretty much are assured of being approved as long as you don't have any serious legal problems in your history, so it's worth the wait.

Had my appt today (Finally)
First of all Thanks to everyone here for the help and encouragement. A few things about the appointment
First, they are now asking for your good cause statement to be on a seperate piece of paper, not the page in the packet and they want that done prior to the appointment. 2. Even though it was supposed to be with Amber Wong, I never met her. The first part was with a retired officer who was brought in to help with the backlog. After a short time with him where he just checked to be sure the packet was filled out correctly and I signed the forms in the packet. I was taken to an interview room. A detective went over the packet and asked a few questions. I will try to remember all of them. After the interview the detective described the rest of the process and told me the 3 person committee would meet again in Jan. and I would hear back soon after that. They also ran a background check on me while I was waiting to talk to the detective. the questions in no particular order. How long have you been shooting? When did you get your first gun? First handgun? Have you ever had any training? Does your employer know you are applying for a permit? These are all I can remember but if I remember anything else I will post it. Now just waiting for the yeah or nay... Have a happy and safe (armed) holiday |

I wasn't planning on telling my boss because I know I can't carry where I work. If your wondering, I work for a grocery store chain stocking overnight. Not telling my boss would that be a deniable factor ? Thanks

employer
I work in health care and there is a very strict no weapons policy on their property. So I won't carry there. However I don't feel that they have a reason or a right to know what I do legally outside of work.
I do not think that is a deniable problem. |

He asked me if I had notified my employer. I said, "I'm a teacher." He said, "Oh, you won't be carrying at work anyway, so it doesn't matter." He went on to say that they ask that for persons who may do company work (delivery, maintenance, etc.) in outside areas where they want to carry, so then the employer would need to know. If you have no plans to carry while on the job, the SSD doesn't care if you notify your employer or not.

That seems to be a bit of a nanny policy. If someone has an employer who does not have a firearms policy and it's not prohibited, why does the SSD need to be involved?
Fortunately, I'm self-employed and it wasn't an issue for me as I'd already talked to myself about it. |

I would also like to be able to reference this somewhere. Maybe if someone has an appointment with Amber, they can ask where to find documented information regarding the length of time the CCW course and qualification is good for. As busy as she is, that seems to be the only way to effectivly communicate with her. Last edited by ccwtrainer; 12-27-2010 at 8:57 AM.. |

Thanks, Wes.
Since you're providing training services, I think it would be appropriate for you to e-mail Amber regarding this information. I've e-mailed her previously and posted her information here (i.e., two barrels for same weapon okay, annual qualifications get submitted via mailed/faxed/e-mail) and she responded promptly. |

In any event, regardless of who does your initial training, you owe it to yourself to seek out more knowledge and training than what you get in your 16 hour class. |
