San Diego CCW

[BEE]

I moved to San Diego and started my CCW back in April of 2024. I completed my appointment and fingerprints on 4/21/25. Still when I look on the San Diego CCW page under status it shows "Appointment Complete." I have been told that it should only show this for a matter of days because it will move to a different status. I have also been told it will take 90 days or more to do the background check. I have nothing at all in my background to worry about as I have held a CCW for many years in Orange County. Is what I am experiencing normal or should my status have changed by now?

It's normal.

Looks like you just hit the 70th day mark. Considering you are clear expect a status change within a week closer to the 78-80 day mark and your references will be called.

Something you all might find interesting. I may have just been lucky. I completed my renewal class on the 22nd of June. Submitted Application to SDCSD on the 23rd. Received request to pay on the 2nd of July, Received my new permit in the mail on the 7th of July. The new Blue Card Permit is dated from the expiration date of my existing permit out exactly two years. So they are processing them quite fast and no time lost. I would still not delay getting it submitted.

Yes, they FINALLY started renewing in accordance with your expiration date so you no longer lose any time. They were doing this at least as far back as December, which is when I did my last renewal.

But they still owe me for about a month of lost time over the years and I want my damn time...or money...back! Somebody should do a class action lawsuit on this. And I would happily contribute my portion to a good 2A group or similar. The tyrants need to feel some pain for their tyrant-ing.

I think many of us have never had a true two year permit.

My SDSO CCW renews September 5,2025. I started by taking the 8 hour class 6/25/25 and received my updated card 7/1725. That included the 4th of July holiday and 4 days I delayed looking at my email and missed sending in payment. My new renewal date is 9/5/27. Life is good.
