San Diego CCW

[droptrack97]

Completed my initial training at Poway Weapons & Gear with David Bucsit. I enjoyed it. He gave a lot of good scenarios to think about and how to consider if your shoot would be good or not. Lots to think about.

As others mentioned, the qualification on the range was pretty straightforward per the State's requirements (15 rounds per gun on your CCW). Website said to bring much more ammo, but it wasn't necessary (maybe if you needed more practice).

Prior to the qual we all went out onto the range and practiced some draw-from-concealment drills and reholstering. Then did these same drills for the qualification. I think it was very helpful that they actually did the draw from holster with live fire.

I believe PWG will allow that on their range if you've completed there classes.

Would recommend.

Now just waiting for the sheriff to mail out my CCW.

From what I understand you have to physically pick up your permit from the Sheriffs office. Not mailed. I could be wrong

They mail them. Mine took 4 weeks to arrive.

How do you go about paying the remaining fee online? Or is that after I take the class?

After you qualify I believe.

You can pay it before or after the class. The email you receive from the Sheriff's office that says you've been approved includes a link back to the Permitium website to pay.

You pay the fee in Permitium. I paid as soon as I got the approval notification, but I suppose you could also take care of it when you upload your proof of training.

Has anyone had any problems applying while unemployed? I am transitioning into a new job and don't start until next month but it asks me if employed or not. Thank you

I have not heard of any. Keep in mind that this may prompt them to ask why you are unemployed. If it is as simple as you voluntarily leaving one job and taking a break before starting the next, it should not be a problem. If you were terminated for cause or resigned in lieu of termination, it could be a different story.

I've had no issues being retired but that isn't quite the same. Lots of people are out of work right now. I can't imagine this being an issue.

Applied on September 21, 2022 and the earliest date available was 7/31/23. Listened to others mentioning to refresh constantly and check. Literally minutes ago, I found a slot for 12/12/22. Cut it down by 7 months! Excited to have sped up the process!

No issues at all with being unemployed. Was never asked about it, wasn't even mentioned.

I was in the office on the same day you were and I just received my approval.
