San Diego CCW

Anyone renewed since the new, temp sheriff took over?

Yes, I just renewed.

Submitted my renewal application/docs via Permitium on 4/7/22. On 4/14/22 got a phone call, a text, and an email saying my renewal was approved and they'd be mailing the permit. No need to go down and pick up in person anymore.

Incredibly more efficient than previous renewals.

Yes, the paper is the officially state recognized permit, not the card. It apparently requires state legislature blessing to switch to the card...so God only knows how long that will take. The county started issuing the card over a year ago, at least. So it doesn't seem like the legislature is in any kind of hurry.

So fold the paper up neatly and tuck it in your wallet somewhere. I gave up on trying to laminate it since it probably wouldn't fit in my wallet after that. The paper only has to last for two years anyway before you get to go through all this again and get a new paper. And I figured if my wallet goes swimming or something, I'll just call and ask them to reissue it.

Congrats btw.

Correct. From the SD Sheriff website:

When you are issued your CCW, you will receive a plastic card and a paper card (FD4501). The State of California Department of Justice has only approved the FD4501. The plastic card will fit nicely in your wallet but is not the official CCW. Only the FD4501 (paper card) is recognized and accepted as the official CCW.

Initial.

Renewal or initial?

[CessnaDriver]

Yep, maybe in ten years they will approve the plastic card. LOL

I got my interview 1 week after I applied. I got my approval 88 days after the interview.

Sorry for the delayed response (we had a few deaths in the family), but I really really appreciate the guidance. I am at day 90 today, and will give it as long as it needs.

Tertiary side note: Please reach out/call and hug your loved ones, make every moment last, and make sure you live without regrets.

Modification Update:
3/26/2022: Submitted modification app in Permitium on Saturday
3/28/2022: Received email that application received on Monday (stated 3-4 week timeframe)
4/13/2022: Received email that modification was approved and was able to pick it up same day.

2-1/2 week turnaround time is pretty awesome.

I understand that for the initial application, which I did. The renewal app seems to require less information.

All I can say is that it's always possible things have changed, but on my renewal, the only difference in the application for a renewal vs. initial permit is the checkbox where you indicate if it is a renewal or initial application.

I think this is a confusion in terminology. All the things you are being asked to upload must be uploaded rather than entered because they are generated by others. You will have to provide a good cause statement as part of the application so you can type it directly in where you are asked rather than upload, but what many people do prepare their good cause separately and work on it until it is perfect, save it as a PDF, upload it with the rest and type in "see attached" in the requested space in the application.

Also, if you are renewing and your GC or other circumstances have not changed significantly, you should be approved with little problem.

Question for recent renewals. My permit expires 8/2 and, on a whim, I started the renewal application. One of the documents that needs to be uploaded is proof of training. Is the procedure for renewal different from the initial and the training is done before approval? Is approval automatic for renewals? I noticed the good cause statement (with corroboration) isn't requested; at least on the 1st page (upload requirements) as I have hesitated to do the training if there's the possibility of denial.
