I did my live scan in December have heard nothing since.

but I'm not seeing how having to be a marksman at 25 yards to get that 90% makes one any safer with their weapon.

It doesn't... just more silly rules that are violating Bruen , just like the roster of "safe handguns", it's ludicrous.

[Vinnie Boombatz]

I agree with those that are not happy about having to be proficient at 25 yards. I'd dare to say in 99.9% of situations if the threat is that far away I'm not taking a shot and my priority will most likely be looking for cover or concealment, or even better I'll be looking for a way to get further away from the threat and remove myself from the situation.

With that said though, complaining and hemming and hawing is not going to change anything. As much as I disagree with the 25 yard requirement, I spent the last month using this as an opportunity to actually get better at shooting at that distance. Prior to that I just wouldn't bother because I wasn't good at it. Hopefully that portion of the qualification will go away in the future, but the fact that it's here now means you better get good at that distance and stop making excuses, because no matter how much you dislike it, it's what's currently on the test.

At the pace that things are currently moving with the processing of applications, that requirement will probably be dropped by the time us that applied in August get called in for Quals. Judea said that my interview is supposed to be sometime in mid 2023 and it can possibly be later than that.

I received a reply informing me that I can "bring my secondary weapon and qualify with it" on my range day. I did not get a reply to my question about whether or not we still have to shoot 90% or better in order to have the secondary firearm on the permit.

Just got cleared for livescan and received email to schedule psych eval.
Pretty good considering I had my livescan done on 2/4.

[Vinnie Boombatz]

Just received an email from ACSO...Was told I can bring two firearms to my range qualification and 90% or better is NO LONGER required for two firearms.

[gexpro]

I just realized I cannot find my approved DROS copy for the firearm I intend to carry. I thought I read somewhere here Judea was requesting some form of paperwork regarding this? like a "proof of ownership"..

Suppose I can just take a photo of the actual serial number and my DL next to it for proof..

[Calif Mini]

Wish I had known that multiple guns were allowed when I did the class / qualification.

Thanks for letting us know.

Anyone else around that can share something on the psych exam?

I was told that you can just send them the serial number and they will check the serial number to make sure it matches on your range day.

The deputy's name is Judea, not Judy.

[gexpro]

sweet, thanks for the clarification Vinnie.
the interviewing deputy I had referred to her as Judy.. ill edit my previous post to squash the confusion.

Per the above, my recommendation is to contact, Robin@ gunkraft

Ive leveraged Robin numerous times for ccw qualification prep. He/his team are remarkable. A few years ago, i provided a detailed post, and amongst other items pointed to the same
