San Diego CCW

Go to a San Diego County Gun Owner's Association CCW meeting. They will help you with this.

Ok, I'll give it a shot. Always felt that it would be a waste of time since I can come up with anything. But since you suggested it, I'll do it. Thanks.

Question for you guys, was it easy to come up with a good cause statement? I've been pondering it a lot to see what would get me qualified, but I can't beyond self defense. Not even work(IT) or my extra curricular activities seem to qualify

At this point SD probably has more licenses issued than Ventura does. Ventura accepts SD = GC, but has been tightening the GMC requirements recently. I just wish they would publish their numbers.

I think DGM has a class every week now due to the demand. So you should be able to find a good time to take it in that 60 day window. Some of the other instructors had it only once a month which just doesn't work.

+1 for the classes at the Morena DGM. A knowledgeable instructor without the usual attitude.

Here's what the Sheriff's website says...

When can I take my firearms course?
The Sheriff's Department cannot require you to take your safety course prior to your application being approved. You may contact one of the approved instructors once your initial fee & fingerprints have been submitted; however the final weapons qualification and your certificate must be within 30 days of your written approval date.

[MajorCaliber]

I believe you can take the course in advance of approval, at your own risk of course that you may waste your time and money if not approved. However unless you have some very unusual circumstances regarding work or travel schedules, I don't know why you would want to. I think your window is 60 days or so after approval, and I believe I was told that if you need longer, just communicate that to the clerk that you are dealing with, and they are quite flexible.

Called for my 1st appointment end of Dec; scheduled for late July. Any benefit in taking the mandatory course from the approved list before hand? is there a window in which is must be done? thanks all!

Nope. There is a window that opens but only after you get your approval to take the course.

Had my second interview last Friday Oct 4th. Still in disbelief I got that far. The gentlemen who processed my application told me the usual spiel but he also mentioned there are only a handful of guys (retirees working part time for extra cash) actually conducting the investigations and reviewing the forms.

Received my approval email yesterday. It was tagged as spam and ended up in my junk folder. 80 Days after my first interview. Realistically I started this process when I transferred to San Diego in March. Bureaucracy at its finest.
