So, I had my interview yesterday. It was very pleasant and quick. About 90% of the interview was just going through my application. The extra questions were stuff like asking about how I kept my current guns in the home, whether children had access to my home, whether I had a medical marijuana card (although she prefaced the question by noting that having such a card was perfectly legal), and whether I was familiar with CCW insurance. She also asked me to state in my own words why I was applying.
The deputy said that, if all went well, she hoped that my CCW license would be issued by the end of the year. She thought a backlog might be the psych exam because there were only two people doing the exam and administering the 150-question test. (Looking at people's timelines, I don't see the psych exam delaying the license.)
The next step will be the Live Scan in San Leandro, although she was still waiting for my background information from my local police department.
I gave her the model and serial number for the second firearm I wanted to add to the license. She said that I could qualify with a third gun and add that later.
I applied in July 2022 and am in the 640s out of a queue of about 2,300.
What surprised me most was that, despite applicants waiting a year for the interview, she said that she has had no-shows. There were also two other earlier interview appointment slots that day that no one took.
