San Diego CCW

[MajorCaliber]

The next update of the counter may not tell us much, depending on when it is updated and if they are counting when an application is approved or when the permit is actually issued after training, etc. The next update may reflect mostly permits decided under pre-election standards. It may take a month or two more to see the effect of any post election re-restriction.

It was updated on May 29th:

It said "1492" as of yesterday! A 5% increase -- 70 CCWs -- in 1 month!

Incorrect, he'll need his orders, lease, and a utility bill with his current address. There are several miltary members I know personally who have CCWs in California, myself included.

Good to know, thank!

Mind if I ask what county?

Hello all new to the forum. Wondering if anyone has any info how ccws are looking right now? I've been living in san diego now for little over a year and wish I had gotten it when I still lived in Tulare County.

I have joined sdcgo already also and am just looking for direction and advice. I'd hope I can get one since I work by myself downtown overnight and have unknown people (drunks, homeless, drug users) approaching me regularly and can pull up the many crimes that happen around my location weekly on the crime mapping site.

Welcome to forum.

I don't believe we have any good information regarding the Ruby Ridge hero either tightening CCW policy or not after the election.
To start the process, schedule appointment for 1st interview to get all information you need for your Good Cause. I've heard the appt now is 3 months out.
Also, check SDSO CCW website to download the application, http://www.sdsheriff.net/licensing/ccw.html

I think SDCGO has the best guidance on GC Worksheet. https://sandiegocountygunowners.com/ccw/ and since you are already a member, consult with them directly, they can guide you with tailoring your GC and they have the best source for information.

Good luck

I'm in Kern, but this should be applicable in any country. I know a few guys up north, too, that have received their permit.

Read the Thread title: San Diego CCW

Information on the process and requirements CAN vary from County to County. So, if your not in San Diego County, don't rely on this info to be 100% applicable to you.

I read the title and answered the question. The residency process appears to be the same across the state. Every person I've talked to in other countries had to provide the same info. The good cause statement is up to the discretion of the county. Sure, whoever applies in SD should check the process, but I'd be willing to say it's the same.

Ok thank you for the directions and write up all. I guess if appointments are around 3 months out I need to go ahead and call to make one asap to get this going.

I'm hoping that I can get approval for one, like I said it is work related, which appears to be a big one for approval from my reading?

Also just for some added advice from anyone with experience I do work security and as I said I am the only person working overnight in downtown. I have looked at our handbook on weapons/carrying and it states, "You may not possess firearms, special security devices or weapons at work without written approval of your regional or branch management and/or where permitted under applicable local/state/federal law.

So I'm understanding this as if I have a ccw then it's ok due to the and/or because then I am permitted to under local/state/federal law. Does that seem right or anyone have other thoughts/experience regarding this?

Ca law is silent on the Active duty issue. In general anything that is not actually written into the law (and even some things that are) when it comes to CCWs in this state is up to the discretion of the IA and not necessarily standard across the board. I like that at least some issuing IAs do this, but I would not assume that all IAs who readily issue, do.

For work related good cause there is a high likelihood that SD Sheriff will follow up and verify with your employer that your are approved by them to carry. So if you do use a work related good cause statement you should give your employer a heads up to expect a call from the sheriff's department.

Not sure if this is the case: While not the sole good cause, work was my primary good cause, and the SDSO rep did not ask my employer whether I was "...approved by them to carry". Just received approval about 90 days from second interview.

This is true, and I agree. I hope my comments weren't misleading, I was only trying to share my experience in my county and the experience of other active duty members in other counties. Hopefully, SD is as simple as other counties, when it comes to the miltary members applying.

Congrats sir! Looks like it will take a full 90 days.

I thought they only call/verify the employment only.

Did SDSO actually call your employer?
