San Diego CCW

It's a very simple and quick appointment. I think I was there a total of 15 minutes. I took all my paperwork with me , but the clerk did not ask for it.

After your appointment, the waiting game begins.

90 days, right? Believe it or not, it was supposed to be 2 years until my appointment. Is the waiting after the appointment even worse?

Don’t you need the serial number when listing? I thought you have to have this.

Anyways, if you acquired the gun on later date but prior to your approval , you can qualify during your training and add it then.

As I mentioned on previous post, the ones that you qualified with will be the ones listed on training certificate and eventually on your permit; not necessarily what you listed on your application unless of course the ones on your app are the same as you qualified.

Got it. So I better head over to the "wanted" section on here and post an ad or two. I really want a Ruger LCP or whatever else is the smallest sub possible, so that I don't print during work (white collar)

I just received another email that my appointment has been moved up to April 24th. It was April 15th then it was bumped to November, but then moved to April 24. Not complaining, just giving others an idea of possible scenarios if you were bumped. I originally booked my appointment in July of 2020.

Finally got my approval today! Just about 90 days from my livescan. In total the process took over a year but I applied right when covid first began and I’m sure that was a big contributor to the delay.

Had my appointment last week. Easy peasy.

I was expecting it to be more like an interview where I would have to justify to someone why I needed the ccw, and for them to delve into specifics of my GC statement.

Nope. Just an appointment similar to going to the dmv, but with much nicer employees.

Congrats- hoping I'll be there soon.

Had my appointment today at 10:30. I wear a suit for work, so I showed up overdressed. Advice to those of you with appointments coming up- they take you to a backroom without fans or ventilation, so it's pretty warm. Very DMV-esque. Next time I will leave my jacket in the car.

The appointment itself was structured as follows:
-Go through application with a Sheriff staff member
-Remedy any errors (basically just write "none" on a few blank lines, initial and date)
-Livescan fingerprints and mugshot style photograph

The person who ran my prints said I was the longest it has ever taken, and I was still in and out within 35 minutes.

Now comes the 90 day wait! Wish me luck.

Do you remember with whom you dealt? After going through my paperwork I asked how my GC looked and what were my chances of approval. Jessica said my GC was good and as long as there wasn't anything hinky in my background I was good to go. This gave me (and a friend who had his interview a week before me) the impression that the girls behind the glass did the approval and the deputy did the background check.

Once you get your approval get your training ASAP. Once you have a class setup, MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR ISSUANCE!! They say to wait which I did. There was a guy in my class that already had his appointment and picked up his permit a day or two after the class. I waited and had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment for issuance.

I dealt with a gentleman who is new there. Darren? David? I don't remember but he had a black moustache. He said virtually the same thing to me ("Sometime around 90 days, probably just about at the 90 day mark, you'll get your approval- wait, I mean, you'll likely get your approval, assuming nothing comes up on the background").

I think my good cause is solid because it got me bumped up almost 9 months (expedited CCW review due to imminent threat). The biggest concern I have is whether my age is too young for a CCW (mid 20's).

Thanks for the advice and insight! I have my fingers crossed and am hoping for the best.

Received my approval email today. Now time to get this training done.

[Danodog]

Can I revise my Good Cause statement after it is filed? There have been some changes in my recreational activities and I want to delete one area after reading that it isn't effective on the San Diego County Gun Owners site.

My meeting is towards the end of April.

Thanks in advance,

Dano

Set up your appoint to pick up ASAP! I did what they instructed and waited for my class; then I had to wait 3 weeks to pick it up. Had I to do over, I would make my class appointment then the pick up appointment as soon as I could after the class. It's not like you won't pass the class.

I don't think you can change it, but you can certainly add documentation; just add the new areas with whatever necessary documentation.

I took my class on Saturday and picked up my LTC this morning.

1 year from start to finish.
