San Diego CCW

[marcusrn]

Unless you have paid $105. to the SD Licencing Division and been denied you have never applied. Call them and get an appt time now. Join SD County Gun Owners Association now and heed their advice. Learn to shoot bullseye and then shoot IDPA while you're waiting around and asking questions.

2 questions:

1. I am the manager for a private (family) investment company. I frequently am carrying checks amounting to as much as several hundred thousand dollars either to the bank for deposit, or to the PO to be mailed. Could this form a foundation for a GC statement?

2. I applied immediately after the original Peruta decision and my application was "held in abeyance" pending the en banc review. I've never received a formal denial. If the answer to 1 is "yes" does my previous application have any impact, whether positive or negative? I was not in the position described by point 1 when I previously applied.

1. Is an interesting question. I have never heard of GC being developed by checks as opposed to cash. OTOH if I were you, I'd point out that you are at increased risk of being targeted because, to an armed robber, you appear to be carrying something of value from a financial office. The robber does not know they are checks which may be of little value to him as opposed to cash until AFTER your life is threatened. The courier walking around the jewellery district carrying fake diamonds is probably at just as much risk as the guy carrying real ones.

See the logic there?

2. As far as I know, all those post Peruta applications are effectively void and have no impact either way. Just start over from scratch, but on the form where it asks about previous applications, be sure to list it. Others may have more inside information on this.

I had my seconded interview on 3/15/19. I was informed the review process generally takes 60-90 days. If I am approved I will get an email with information on how to proceed, if I am denied I will get a letter in the mail. The whole process has been relatively pleasant.

Plus P Proficiency will give you required training and can teach you to shoot. Retired Arson Investagator and 5 years head shotgun instructor at Front Sight Bakersfield/ Pahrump. Thirty years training and comp shooter. Highly adept at 3 gun and shoots revolvers as adeptly as he shoots pistols. None of that is important though if an instructor can't access and teach you what you need to know. I have worked with numerous instructors in SD area and Larry is solid. Mark Cleary

keep us posted.....

I contacted just about everybody on the list in SD. I will just say that the B.S. is strong with some of them. On the other hand, I found the instructor at DGM to be clear, straightforward, and not all wound up in his own ego. I highly recommend the training there.

Plus 1 for DGM!!!

Has anyone used terrorism as a good cause? Thanks

Just my two cents but doesn’t seem like this separates your dangers from the rest of the populations.

[MajorCaliber]

The current standard focuses on you separating yourself from the "average citizen" and proving your risk is higher. General terrorism risk does not get you there. You would need an argument showing why YOUR terrorism risk is greater than average, and it probably needs to be a risk that carrying a gun would solve such an active mass shooter as opposed to a bomb explosion.

Yeah you get a list of approved places. For me, it was finding one that did weekend classes on a regular basis. Discount Gun Mart had it pretty much every other week, which was nice so I did it through them.

Just had my second interview on March 5th. Does anyone know where I can take the Sheriff approved CCW training course if I get approved in San Diego?

Yes it was last year, after the announcement of the expanded standards and before the "flood" of applications began. When I called to arrange my first appointment, I was able to get one within a week. Ahhh, the good old days.

Long gone!

[MajorCaliber]

Was this last year?

I got both email and paper right before the calendar days expired, but I don't know what the new procedure is.
