San Diego CCW

[rplusplus]

Question, because I am not sure. I purchased both guns I plan to have on my CCW in San Diego, I purchased them at previous addresses. I have now lived in my home for 8 years. Do I need to update anything with anyone before going in for my interview? The website says I have to have them registered to me. I have updated my personal information in CFARS but not my two pistols.

Did you get an earlier appointment?

My wife was finally filling out for her CCW and first available was July 3. I had her keep looking and for several months it was every Monday after. Is this the only day San Diego is doing CCW appointments?

Yup

My personal rules are anything sight and grips related ok. No custom "Punisher" logo grips or anything that a jury will gasp at. Trigger crisper mods is one thing, polishing parts, etc. I would not mess with factory trigger pull much, if I did I would keep it in a generic "normal range" Factory only parts, sold on other models, example shorter reset like Beretta offers. I would not delete our wonderful CA "safety" features. Three of my now four listed CCW guns don't have them. My main carry was made in 1992. Can go off roster or revolver or whatever's left on the roster that doesn't have them. San Diego says laser sights ok but you can't use them to qualify.

Side note, I lean on the side of using ammo that LEO are likely to use if possible. Gold dot for instance. Again, avoid any gasp factor from jury that you used the Biden brand 9mm Lung Busters. Though those scary names might not be used much anymore on product labels. Shot placement and hollow points for most calibers matters in my opinion.

That's all me and my thinking, I agree, where are the court cases any of this came into play?
Have no data there I've seen yet.
Overly cautious above? Agreed. Yes. I am being so.

What's our IA's policy on firearm modifications? RDS, trigger, LCI, Mag Disconnect, Safety, etc?

SD Sheriff doesn't have a problem with it. I would suggest "within reason." For example dropping the trigger weight to 2 lbs on a carry gun is probably not a good idea.

You may also want to think about how a modification may look/play in the aftermath of a shooting if you end up going to court. There are people who feel that doing any mods to a carry gun is not a good idea. But people also seem to have difficulty finding actual court examples where a good shoot was turned into a bad shoot on the sole basis of a gun modification. I'm sure one or two probably exists...and I'd love see them. This is personal decision. YMMV.

“ Applied and first available appointment is currently June 12, 2023! A lot of people applying now.”

Be sure to check for earlier appointments. Others have said they have shortened their appointment times dramatically!

Plan on it. Checked today and was able to bump up to 24 April!

I can report two weeks from renewal submission to approved email/text.

I wish mine was that fast! My permit expired the 22nd and I got it on the 19th.

Maybe I had a better Good Cause statement...

Just to document, I submitted my renewal application on 10 August. Today, I got an email, a voice mail, and a text telling me my application was approved. And, this is almost a month prior to actual expiration.

They may be quite busy, but the renewal sure turns around quickly...
