San Diego CCW

[trustno12373]

Just got my CCW approval email today (4/13)! I guess its true, it's much more possible to get a ccw now than it was before. Initial application was submitted 7/13/20. Initial appointment was scheduled for 2/22/21 but was moved up to 1/27/21. All I did was sign a bunch of paperwork and do fingerprints/photos at initial appointment. Clerk was awesome, can't remember her name. Deputy sent me some emails on 3/15/21 requiring some more info. Deputy was very professional as well. Finally got approval letter 4/13/21. Thank you SDSO!
The hardest part in my opinion is the amount of time the process takes but I think its well worth it! Hang in there everyone! Don't give up!

Congrats on obtaining your CCW permit. It is always good to hear that law abiding citizens are obtaining their permits in San Diego County. My appointment is this Friday the 16th. The most stressful part will be waiting that 90 days after the appointment. I guess I should be able to wait it out since I waited over 7 months for my appointment. I applied on 7/27/2020.

I did not know that applicants had anymore contact with a deputy during your time your background check is being done. I was under the impression that everything is being conducted by FBI and DOJ. Some of friends said that they had no contact with anyone during the 90 day wait.

Thanks for sharing your experience and be safe.

This is very interesting. I applied in May of 2020 and my initial appointment was for April of 2021 and received a call to reschedule my appointment for the 22nd of January 2021. I'm on day 81 of the 90 days and actually need the CCW for my work because of the "greater" risk I am placed in. I have never heard from a deputy about any of my application. At my appointment the women who went over my application said I was the most prepared and should have no issues getting approved. Congrats on getting your CCW, I'm going to have to give them a call because it makes absolutely no sense to me how you applied after me and got excellent service and I'm still out here waiting. I've literally had more threats made against my life since applying lol. I will say I do know that SDSO contacted my work to confirm that I was currently employed. Stay safe!

Just hang in there. You should hear something very soon. I received my approval 3 days before my 90days .

I never received any contact from any deputy during my process. I believe they only reach out to you if they need more documentation or questions about your background.

Remember, no news is good news most of the time.

Thank you for the congrats! Yes, the 90 day waiting period is the most stressful part.
To elaborate on the emails I got from the deputy, he just asked for updated paystubs and residence documentation and that was it.
I was also expecting deputies at my door for residence verification but no one ever came.
I heard some calgunners had a deputy show up to verify residence. Maybe it depends on how good your proof of residence documents are but not really sure how they decide that.

That sounds good. So it was simple things the deputy asked for. I have also heard that sometimes a deputy will stop by your residence to verify that you really reside there. It seems to be hit and miss with the in person residency check from what i hear.

Glad to hear everything worked out for you. Carry safe.

That makes sense. I guess it depends on how good your documentation is and how everything checks out. I also believe in no news is good news as well. Hopefully during my 90 day wait there will be nothing additional needed.

CCW Appointment

I went to my CCW appointment for San Diego County this afternoon and met with Miranda and she was really thorough with explaining the process. I took my photo and did my fingerprints and signed and dated my good cause. Very awesome staff, real laid back, friendly and no stress appointment. I was told I would get an email and text within 90 days. Now the wait begins. After waiting 7 months for my appointment, 90 days should not be too stressful. Thanks to everyone for helping me out and answering all my questions.

I did my renewal at Discount Gun Mart at Morena Blvd., and had very good experience.
I recommend Kyle Dau at this place.

Same. Initial and renewal. The classes were at convenient times. You will get some sales pitches though for training and CCW legal protection plans. Which is fine.

I went with RJ's training academy. Quick and flexible schedule.

Do you know if they offer multi-state qualifications by any chance ?
