San Diego CCW

You're right, there's a day available in March.

[marcusrn]

None of these delays are permissible. Bruen actually states that the 2A is not a second class right, and there is plenty of law that says a delay of more than a day or two for the 1A is effectively a denial of the right. Therefore delays beyond a couple of days is likely unconstitutional, as LiveScan takes no more than a day or two. Similarly what is the point of the interview at this time if we are all "shall issue" as the case holds? My office is planning to challenge these rules (among many others).

Go get em Gator!!! Very important in dealing with them that you email with the manager of Dept or registered snail mail, so you have documentation. They have cameras and voice recorders but they'll not give you access. You say, "for my safety and legal rights". The Licencing arm of SDC Sheriffs has not been a friend to the people the last 40 yrs. You have a right to treat them with caution. Be polite but don't take shaet. The reason Heller vs WDC is not called Shelly Parker vs WDC is because black nurse Parker did not fill out a form in writing. Hold them to the law Gatorman!!!

So given that, when should one schedule the CCW refresher course?

The web site says it has to be within 90 days of renewal, and you can't apply for renewal until 45 days prior to expiration. But if all the NEW applications gum up the system, the renewal might take more than 45 days. So, it would seem one would want the refresher course at something like 46 days prior to expiration to give it the longest life. Just in case...

Thoughts?

I just renewed in February. My course we just shy of 90 days out from my renewal. You just need to hold on to the certificate until 45 days before renewal. I would suggest doing it between 90-45 days so that you're ready to submit on day 45.

Thought I’d cross-post SB918 below. If and when you do get issued, see changes to CCW application process for all counties and restricted areas. This just passed committee and will need to be voted on.

This will not survive under the Bruen decision.

[marcusrn]

One week after NYSRPA, this clearly is a move to abrogate your God given right to self protection.

[ezaircon4jc]

If that's accurate, that's a strange decision on the part of the Sheriff's office given San Diego County has 3.4 Million residents. It's a large county and the potential is certainly there.

Is there any data on how many applications are currently in process and how many new and renewal applications they get each month?

I just checked the Sheriff's site. Current CCW Licenses Issued: 6,774 as of now. There were around mid-4K permits issued when I got my initial 2 years ago. Looks like they're issuing about 3 permits per day. I'm sure that will (or has) go up as they now mail the permits and pick-ups aren't competing with the "interviews" for office time.

[Leanosjr]

I'm still waiting to receive the permit in the mail, and I saw today that Permitium does not show anything anymore with regard to my application (the progress bar is gone). Has this happened to you too?

Just happened to mine today. Looks like mine is next. Here's hoping I get it tomorrow and don't have to wait till Tuesday. There is no way to actually track it through USPS correct?

[asymmetricalwarfar3]

Looks like they updated their CCW front page again; the instructions/requirements section is gone.....for now.

Get your application submitted on line as quickly as you can. That will get you in the queue. Check back frequently to improve your interview dates. Most folks have had good luck pulling it in.

Welcome and good luck!

What do you mean by improve your interview dates?

[ezaircon4jc]

What do you mean by improve your interview dates?

Closer dates pop up on permitium regularly. One just has to check often.
