San Diego CCW

I would assume that all prior information will show up in their search.

I would also assume that ANYTHING they ask to be disclosed, that you do not will be an instant denial, probably of the kind that would affect future applications as well. If in doubt, disclose.

It looks to me like both of those items are covered in section 7 item 6, as well as section 2, item 9 and possibly others.

I'm considering applying in San Diego county. I read the application and have one hesitation. I had a misdemeanor DUI 33 years ago in another state and some minor trouble in the military around the same time and was Honorably Discharged. Any body have any idea how far back and deep they go ? Since then I have done nothing but grow old and boring. Thanks

Be honest with them and tell them it was a long time ago.

I know from a police commissioner that most agencies consider HIRING officers even if they had cocaine and marijuana use as long as it was more than 5 years ago...

From what I can tell, they are pretty thorough with the background investigation. My guess is your DUI might pop up, so it's probably better to be up front about it. The fact that it was 33 yrs ago and you haven't had any issues since, it's pretty easy to argue that it was a one time mistake.

Shameless cross post....

Another month, another record number of SDSD CCWs, another 122 CCWs issued....

THANK YOU SHERIFF GORE!!!

Current CCW Permits Issued: 2450

From: https://www.sdsheriff.net/licensing/ccw.html

Gore should be busting through 3,000 by the end of the year. Next year and the following will be telling: that's when they have to start dealing with a great increase in renewals as well as initial CCWs.

Congrats - Nice to see they are consistently improving, As mentioned already - it used to be that after the second interview it was typically right at the 90 day time point that the approval notification was received.

I think it is still the case. I know several that are getting close to 90 period. Including myself.

I've been encouraging others as much as I can, some firearm owners can
actually be rather lazy about the whole thing, like voting...grrrrr.
But I keep reminding them to get it going. It's important to post on the interwebz news sites where there are local crime stories where an armed person would have made all the difference. From the usual local victim story to an "The Armed Citizen" NRA self defense success story.

I know people often want to keep it quiet they have achieved their CCW for obvious reasons, concealed is concealed, but that being said I think it's time to kick it in and encourage everyone you can in ways you feel comfortable.
The gate is open, join and support SDCGO to keep it open, and work to make it open wider for everyone. There will be a new Sheriff one day after all and the more CCW issued the better to establish that we won't go back to the bad old days. Worst thing is to take it for granted right now.

Quoted For The Truth!

Thanks man! Will keep my fingers crossed for you

Now THAT is a truly excellent idea! Reaching out to other gun owners is a bit like preaching to the choir. Turning a non-owner to a owner or a non-carrier into a carrier is where the leverage is. That is a great way to reach a receptive audience.

San Diego CCW

After a long wait for my March 5th in-person interview I just received my approval on Wednesday April 17th this week!

I was quoted a 60-90 day wait before I would hear back on whether I would be approved, but was impressed that it only took them 43 days. Was able to schedule my 8 hour CCW course the very next day with James Murphy (awesome instructor BTW) and just went back to the Sheriff's office today to pay my remaining fee, drop off my CCW course certificate and pick up my permit.

From what I gathered it appears the Sheriff's office is doing a great job at streamlining the process with the influx of applications.

Quite the process, but I am happy to finally have my CCW.

Any updates on your app?

Still waiting. I got a call from a background investigator last week to clarify a few things on my application.
