San Diego CCW

[lairdb]

(Crossposted from a Sheriff Gore specific thread; if I keep doing updates, I'll probably post them here henceforth unless folks object.)



SDSO CCW Currently Issued 7801 as of 10/25/22 (overall Δ per day: +3.89; last ~6m Δ per day: +6.78)

Thats 2.36 per 1,000 residents for San Diego County.

By way of comparison, in 2019 San Diego was at 0.34, and Shasta was at 45.5. Among counties with comparable populations, in 2019 Orange County was at 3.73, Riverside at 1.24, and San Bernardino at 3.24.



Foototes: During late 2022 there were some fluctuations in the reported figures. The update of 24 Jun. also included an acknowledgement of NYSRPA v. Bruen and some related commentary. The update of 16 Jul. changed the number reported from "Current CCW Licenses Issued" to "CCW Licenses Active" and the figure dropped by about 10%. The update of 18 Jul. (only two days later) changed the language again, to "Total CCW Licenses Active" and the figure recovered about 5%. The update of 25 Aug. recovered about another 5%, returning the data point to roughly in line with the previous trend.

Highly recommend Dave Premetz for CCW instruction. He was by far the cheapest instructor I have found between OC and SD at $120. He certifies out of Escondido Fish & Game range and let us skip the live-fire due to the current cost of ammo. I will never go anywhere else.

Short gentleman, small older man possibly glasses? It was a private range correct and he did it in the main large room of the 2 buildings where you park.

I used him at that private range and he was great. Definitely using him for my renewal.

Hi Guys, 2nd post here.



For purposes of introduction, former LEO, FWIW (SDPD, SD Community College PD). But I've been w/a big Wall Street firm for over 30 years, so now it's all about trying to make money rather than chasing crack dealers over fences, which I couldn't do now anyway, lol.



Just did my 2-year renewal a couple of days ago and for those unaware, once you've completed the course and all documentation, including the certificate of completion, is uploaded, you should e-mail the San Diego Sheriff's licensing division to let them know that everything is uploaded, completed and in good shape. I did that this morning and got a reply in less than an hour that a clerk had been assigned to my renewal. Apologies if this had been mentioned previously, as I didn't go back and look at all of the prior messages.



Also, I've seen a few asking about approved instructors. I strongly recommend James Murphy of PPFT (Personal Protection Firearms Training). James was a Federal Agent, San Diego Sheriff's investigator, U.S. Marine Corps machine gunner and I believe he's also been a bodyguard. He's in his 70s and still one of those guys you wouldn't want to mess with.



Not only is James a great guy, but he really knows his stuff. He's also very patient. While I had a marksman certification in my LEO days, frankly, I'm not nearly as good as I used to be. So James really helped me to hone my skills and techniques.



Here's a link to his Yelp site. Tell him I sent you (Brad).

Thanks for the suggestion, Question, is the range on site or at another location?

Thanks

I stand behind my remarks. Further, it's possible he could get his instructor's license pulled if he's not doing the live fire portion, as I think it is required.

It's also a state requirement and wouldn't surprise me if it renders your permit null and void if the "powers that be" find out.

Not everything should be discussed on an open internet forum...that is monitored by law enforcement.

i have to agree with stockjock. many of us have been in a ccw class were some of the people attending had never even fired the weapon they were there to get licensed to carry.

[stockjock]

Even a rusty stockjock probably has more skills than the vast majority of applicants.

It's quite refreshing to know that we have so many quality instructors available to us!

KEEP CHECKING WESBITE FOR OPEN APPTS.

I DID IT ALSO and got a closer newer date multiple times.

Mine was about 11 months total also. But I got it.

QUESTION ; anyone know how long to have a FOR report approved?

[CessnaDriver]

Yeah insanely fast. Probably before most had lined up after the SCOTUS ruling.

Just submitted and it looks like 10 months out for an interview. Is it worthwhile to periodically check in to reschedule to see if something sooner pops up or is that not the way things work as in canceled appointments don't come up for grabs?

Thanks

Yup, very worth it. Spots open up all the time. I cut months off my process time.

What Mission said. Check at least once a day. Checking will also not cost you the appointment you already made.
