San Diego CCW

[trustno12373]

I believe it would go up by 100. It's listed as the below...



So I read that as the total number of active permits at the time of posting.

I recall in an interview that I had watched Sheriff Gore said the department is issuing some around 40 permits per week.

100. It's the number of valid permits issued, presently valid. A number of applications ever approved over the course of CCW history would be irrelevant to anyone.

Thanks for the clarification. Total outstanding permits would be the number of most interest to the public, agreed. Total applications approved would be of interest as an internal measure of productivity and throughput capacity. I've seen bureaucracies make similar confusions. I've probably mentioned it here before, but unless that throughput capacity constantly increases over time, through either improved efficiency or additional resources, that will always set an absolute ceiling on the the number of possible valid permits because as it grows, renewals take up an increasing fraction of processing ability until all resources are consumed just doing renewals and there are none left to process new applications.

FWIW I don’t care about 4-year Reserves, 3-year Judicial or 90-day Business CCWs, only the 2-year Standard permits.

You are correct in that your employers name is not listed on the license. However, your current occupation and business address, which for most of the license being issued will have your current employer address . That basically makes it your employer listed minus the name of the company .

I was just implying that per cal penal code 26175 (I) your occupation and business address has to be listed on your license.

Being retired, mine has the business address blank (not even a N/A) and for occupation it says retired.

You can't request, they issue both now.

Get good high quality holster and belt. You'll likely have to go through a few until you find the one you like.

I have a drawerful.


This is correct. I was advised that the paper permit is the official one.

I've got a box with my old Alien Gear holsters. I've settled on a full Kydex holster as I became disillusioned with the soft, hybrid design. I presently like Clinger & Concealment Express holsters. As for the belt I've settled on the Kore Essentials. I also have a NexBelt, but it doesn't seem to provide the stability the Kore does.

Gore is on track to break 5,000 before August 1st (next counter update will be late July). Actually he’ll probably break 5,000 before the 4th of July.

I remember when I got approved a yearish ago the number was, IIRC, 4089! Almost 900 in a year is much better than the previous rate!

Is your Nexbelt EDC belt?

My EDC belts from Nexbelt are very stiff and stable; for the wood, I carry G20 with 15rds and spare mag with no issues, sometimes a full size 1911 too.

My guess is at some point they're going to have to relax the process. Something like training cert + BG check + a good cause 'declaration' = approved.

At the moment it sounds like these apps are several SDSO employee's full time jobs.

I don't suppose there is any way to know what number you are in the count so far?

Have you folks seen the new CCW cards that the San Diego Sheriff's office is issuing?!

basically the same size as driver's license (though the SDSO is waiting for the CA DOJ to approve the new cards); they are being issued but need to be carried in addition to the old paper/folding permit unitl the state approves the modified card.

Yes, those have been out for about a year now, and we are still waiting for the DOJ to approve the new cards. Just how difficult and complex a decision can it possibly be that it takes a year? What nonsense.

It makes you question if and why it needs to be approved by the DOJ, when there are other counties in California that issue only the credit card size permit. How are these other counties able to issue those if the DOJ has not yet approved it?

My comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. I believe the real reason is that the State of California, unless forced by law or a court decision, will not do ANYTHING to make it easier or more convenient for us mere peasants to carry a firearm. This is just one more part of the overall scheme.

They are probably already planning how to erect new obstacles and make things more difficult after we get a favorable ruling from SCOTUS in the current v. Corlett.
