San Diego CCW

Thanks for the clarification Rob.

You are right... the Sheriff's department is listening (like you said) namely to his staff and Michael Schwartz. This is exactly why I brought this up.

We all need to advocate for more than a 3 firearm limit. We're surrounded by other counties that don't see the need.

Good luck on your permit! I'm sure it will all go well... especially if you got this far.

Easy there fella

You are too busy laughing (which I don't know why) and you missed the point: Things ARE changing... it's not the way it's always been. We now have permits... and they'll be processed differently in the future.

My point is, Riverside County is processing CCW's with software. My friend lives there and his permit is the size of a normal ID/credit card. It has a spot for 6 firearms to be listed (on the back).

San Diego uses the old manual default application forms and system from the State of California. If a new system is implemented, the possibility is there for listing more on than 3 on the permit.

If we don't ask... we'll never get. SDCGOA did... and they are the reason we have permits today! Join or donate to them! Everybody should be supporting them or we wouldn't even be discussing this!

LOL I once asked Michael Schwartz at one of his CCW seminars why only 3 per permit. He responding that he asked the sheriff’s staff and was told “Because that’s the way it’s always been done.”

With the SD Sheriff's Department is implementing software to run the CCW program (as reported by SD County Gun Owners Assoc.).

I am now wondering if in the future we might see more than the 3 firearms limit on our CCW permits?

In Riverside County, they can have up to 6 firearms. In Orange County, there is no limit! As long as you've qualified with the weapons, you can have them on your permit.

While I'm happy with the progress we've made, I wish I could put one more on my permit... and I'm sure the instructors would love to be able train and qualify us with more than the 3 limit.

By the way, those of you who submitted crime stats from CrimeMapping.com, how far back did you go in the date range? Thanks in advance.

Rob

I believe the one I am submitting is a month back. If you go with a higher range I am sure there will be a lot more reported crime. That would probably be a better route to go?

[QUOTE=L84CABO;23124252]Dressing nice can't hurt. I wore my regular daily attire. Nothing fancy. Thing is, I'm pretty sure you're not meeting with any of the decision makers. You're meeting with the clerks. And I'm pretty sure they're not the ones deciding to issue permits or not.....

Thank you for the input, maybe I am focusing too much on it. I think ill got the nicej eans or slacks and a polo.

I appreciate the optimism! What would you recommend the dress attire be? I was thinking some slacks and a polo, not sure if anything else would be overdressed.

Thanks

Dressing nice can't hurt. I wore my regular daily attire. Nothing fancy. Thing is, I'm pretty sure you're not meeting with any of the decision makers. You're meeting with the clerks. And I'm pretty sure they're not the ones deciding to issue permits or not.

Now that isn't to say that they couldn't influence things. Like if a clerk said, "hey that dude really seems crazy," or "that dude was a total angry A-Hole," I suspect that they could impact the decision of the decision makers.

So attire probably doesn't matter a whole lot as I doubt the clerks are specifically communicating what a person wore. But again, dressing nicely certainly couldn't hurt.

What I think matters more is being polite, professional, be open to any feedback they give you, etc. And simply don't be a jerk. Cause again, the clerks aren't the ones making the decision but they can certainly comment negatively if you're being an A-Hole.

I got my approval email today. 34 days after my interview. I did both 1st and 2nd interview at the same time, as I had everything I needed.

Looking to do my class in north county. Does anyone have experience with David Premetz or Split Second Shooting?

Yes to Split Second shooting. Tell him Games sent you.

Dress?

Hahahahaha. Fair enough.

Okay to be fair Michael from SDCGO recommends a dress shirt and slacks to keep it professional looking. But I think a clean pair of jeans and a polo shirt is a good compromise.

Dude I wore my work boots, jeans, and a t shirt... As long as you don't stink it shouldn't matter lol.

Hahahahaha. Fair enough.
