They are doing them via zoom. Have one tonight at 7-8. I've never "zoomed" before.

I've done one with SDCGO, and a few for business, my kids' school etc. They are hit or miss depending on connection speed and quality. But mostly ok.

Be sure to use the test feature if there is one (usually a link somewhere after you click the link for the zoom meeting or on the page with the link) a short time before the meeting. Some times you'll need to download an app etc to get things going.

Attend one of the San Diego County Gun Owners Association's CCW meetings. They can help with drafting a good cause statement based on your situation.

Just for clarification, are you saying that these were all successful under Gore in San Diego?

Pretty sure these are ones that were released by news media when they reported CCWs were being issued in much greater numbers than before.
We got a little worried they would release names. Thankfully that was not the case. Definitely successful Gore era of the last couple years.

They make an excellent outline.

I am finally applying for my CCW for San Diego. I have one through Arizona. I was just wondering what I need to put down for "good cause?"

The biggest reason for my application is just for overall personal protection. However, occasionally I do get large cash sums that I need to take to the bank - not as much as I used to. Also, given my business is aviation related some of my customers are in the "import" business that is not actually above board if you get my meaning.

Take a look at San Diego Gun Owners website. There are some ideas for GC and help on how to word it.

Thanks!

What is considered "Good Cause" for San Diego

I've not heard of anyone not getting renewed. Did anything change from two years ago? I would think the same good cause would be fine.

I would certainly concur with your idea that the original good cause should work if there were no substantive changes. For my renewal good cause statement, I copy and pasted in the original and also added updates that I believe show an even gooder cause.

But if that is true, one would think renewals would be pretty easy to process and they could do dozens a day.

All of which makes me believe there is something else in play...

I guess I still don't understand, whose wet signature on what document on the day of your appointment?

[MajorCaliber]

.They told me San Diego required the wet signature on the day you have your appointment,...

Yeah crossing my fingers... my permit expires 10/30 and I've already taken the renewal training, so hopefully that fast passes it.

The way they explained it to me was that your spot in the renewal queue was determined by when your renewal application was filed, so the timing of your training would not make a difference. It was unclear if the renewal queue has any kind of priority over new applications, although it would make sense if it did.

While Covid has slowed down the pickup process, there is a nevertheless an obvious and fundamental problem that I think they have yet to understand and grapple with: As the number of outstanding permits grows, if they do not continually improve their throughput capacity, renewals will eventually consume all available processing capacity until either no new permits can be issued, or all permits expire for increasing periods before they are renewed. It's simple math.
