Lucky man congrats, this is probably something I should have done but was weary on it all since I was hearing that many people were getting the fees they paid refunded back to them.

I had my CCW interview today. Applied 6/25 I could have scheduled this as early as Nov. 8, but I was traveling until this week. I asked the deputy what the time line was and was told maybe less than a year start to finish for me since I applied early. When I also asked how many applicants they had I was told “thousands”. I was also told that I did not need to take an outside class; the ACSO would provide a 4 hour class followed by the practical shooting test. Next step: finger printing and psych exam.

Per the above:

https://www.sheriffacademy.com/directions.php

REGIONAL TRAINING CENTER
Regional Training Center
6289 Madigan Road
Dublin, CA 94568

When you get on site, easy enough to see the signs for the facility. Signage, including reserved parking for the sheriff will be visible

per the above post, you qualify at the ACSO's range. It's modern, and many departments & agencies leverage it as well. The 4 hour class during qualification will include classroom interactions, firearm validation and firearm qualification

I am asking physically where that is located. The address for the place.

Out of curiosity, where do you go for the qualification shooting?

Per the previous post, the order is reversed starting with 2 yards, going to 25.
Also, the targets slightly changed, but all related item's referenced
appears to be correct except the order

Per my understanding, no plans to change the 25 yard qualifying requirements albeit each county may be slightly different

That appears to be the old course of fire that was changed a couple of years ago. The last time I qualified, it starts at the 2 yard line and moves back. But who knows, maybe it has been changed again?

Can anyone direct me to the page or describe what the ACSO qualification shooting test will include. How many yards, how many rounds, accuracy needed. I've searched through the forums to find not much information.

here ya go:

Not hard if you're a regular shooter, but in my mock qual during ccw training course I was surprised how many folks needed, errrrr, more practice.

Based on my sleuthing both here and on reddit, it appears that the number of days it takes to get an interview is increasing somewhat in proportion to application dates.

For folks who reported both their application date and interview dates on posts either on calguns or reddit (n=10):

applied 6/23 (n=2) average 102 days to interview
applied 6/24 (n=5) average 103 days to interview
applied 6/25 (n=3) average 133 days to interview

Low n-size so who knows... but it would appear to me from this very limited data that 1) ACSO didn't get started on interviews until 80-90 days after the Bruen ruling, and 2) they are processing about 30 interviews per week.

They probably did that on purpose, they should have kept processing swiftly after Bruen as it was clearly and lawfully stated that "Good Cause" was no more.

I know some counties have restrictions on caliber size/models or modifications, but does Alameda County have any such restrictions? I looked all over the Sheriff's page on CCW's and the application itself, but didn't see anything, so I don't know if that means there are no restrictions, or if it's just hidden in fine print somewhere.

That's insane, I applied in August and my ETA for an interview is also towards the end of next year.

I had my interview last week. The interviewer also said I could expect the process to be finished some time next year(!) because "The Sheriff is very busy" which is total bs, but the super simple line they give everyone I guess. Lawsuits when?
