Hello, all. I am new to CalGuns and to the CCW process. I have read elsewhere on this site that the SLO county sheriffs dept. will contact your employer to verify employment, which of course is fine by me, and tell them why they are calling (which is not fine by me). Meaning my work will know that I am applying for a CCW. Is this true? I do not see how it is anyone's business that I am applying for a CCW. Plus there is no telling what political beliefs the lady in HR follows nor do I know if she would not go around blabbing it to everyone at my work.

Curio relic or any other FFL

I recommend Curio relic or any other FFL for good cause.

Parkinson is a good Sheriff who does issue. Maybe not for self defense yet... but I don't see him losing reelection. He has tons of support.

Just got my CCW in SLO County. FYI for those in the process the LiveScan took forever. About 5-6 months. Be Patient.

Could you share w/us an idea of what your Good Cause was like, but not so much detail so as to ID yourself? (Do you regularly carry large amounts of cash from rent or other payments to deposit? Carry valuables (jewelry, gold coins, electronic equipment, pharmaceuticals) on your job?)

We want the maximum # of law-abiding CGNers who would qualify under the current standard to apply, but we do NOT want to waste their (and the SO's) time, money & effort in a futile attempt.

I had my interview today.
I got to hold my permit for a few minutes, but I had to return it.

Permit lady said it might take at least 14 weeks. Oh well...

ETA: Congrats Bong!

Hey Guys. Haven't been online in quite awhile, but I thought I'd just check in to see if anybody here has recently obtained their CCW in SLO county with self defense as their good cause. I moved to SLO county a few months ago from Orange County and was wondering what the prospects of getting a CCW permit are in SLO county. By what I'm reading, doesn't look like very good odds at all.

You're SLO, er, I mean SOL.

If you folks (guys & dolls) in SLO want a sheriff who issues CCWs for SD = GC, you need to get them elected as sheriff.

IIRC, the next sheriff's election is 2018. If no one gets a majority in the June primary, there's a runoff election in Nov. The deadline for registering a candidate is late Jan or early Feb 2018. But by that time, the candidates have already locked up local and even state politicians and various organizations to endorse them. Thus, a pro-CCW candidate must consider themselves "in the race" at least 6 months before that, now we're talking July 2017 latest -- just six months from now. But even before that, SLO folk must find a suitable candidate (education, training, experience, aptitude and personality for being sheriff and have started making political connections as well as being pro-CCW).

Bottom line: SLO folk should be looking for candidates immediately....

Update:
I received a letter today from the SO saying I was tentatively approved, and needed to take a class (in which i already did, and qualified) and schedule an appointment with the undersheriff.

Congrats Bongski! You are one of the few up there. Hope you get it.

Years ago my FIL ran CMC's water treatment plant at SLO. He ran inmate working parties with no abilities but to return them and report them if there was behavioral issues.

County approached him about getting his CCW.

When you get approved or denied....

Oh whoops.
Forgot about that part.
I supervise inmate trustees and if necessary, discipline them. If i write them up, it can lead to loss in visitation, commissary, and their good time, work time.
Before i even thought of applying for a ccw, i asked for a meeting with the undersheriff. He pretty much gave me my reason: possible retaliation from a disciplined inmate." Of course I had to elaborate a little bit more.

I turned in my paperwork last Wednesday.
I took the class with Ian McKnight last month.

Ian puts on a very informative class. I contacted him the other day on adding a weapon to my permit. Very accommodating.
