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

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

where is the qualification range

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?

Alameda Co. CCW interview

I asked for an update. Im apparently number 4xx in line applied on June 29th.

Told me interview will happen around 1st or 2nd quarter of next year

When I asked for an update, I was told I was #153 on the list and my interview was exactly 4 months after my application which was on June 25th. (10/25 interview date)

I was informed at the interview that I may hear more in about 4 weeks or around 11/25.

Ahern is has been a lame duck since primary, so why he isn't issuing at all? He has nothing to lose right now, retirement just weeks away. This guy is sure stubborn POS.

Because Ahern sincerely believes in the “police state” (where only the police are armed). That’s why he’s a RINO. He doesn’t believe in a preexisting individual RKBA that’s merely protected, not created, by the 2A of the US Constitution.
