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.

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.

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.

4,984!!!



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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Not to be Clintonian, but I guess the issue is what the definition of "issued" is.

If in a given period, the office approves 200 applications, half of which are new applicants and half of which are renewals, and hands out 100 brand new licenses and 100 renewals (which do not increase the number of outstanding licenses) does that count go up by 100 or 200?

It's a counter on the SDSO website of currently issued licenses, so it's a simple running total of the number of licenses issued regardless of reason/type.

This is GOLD! Am I correct in assuming that the numbers represent total outstanding permits at any date, so growth (3.09/day) is true net growth, I.E. approvals of new applications and not just renewals?

Hi All-
I picked up the plastic license and official paper permit today. I folded and laminated it so it fits in my wallet.

Thanks to all who helped me with feedback & advice on this journey. Carry safe.

Congratulations! Glad too hear you have the permit in hand and you are good to go. Your long journey is finally over and there was a bright light at the end of the tunnel after investing all this time in the process.

Be safe.

Next week they’ll probably update their CCW webpage with the next month’s numbers.

Wonder if the local “media” will do another story when it passes 5000?

I doubt it since it would undermine antis’ “high noon” shootouts over fender-benders and parking spaces narrative.
