Just went through the initial interview in Dublin. The deputy who conducted it was nice, polite and wished me good luck. Everything was well organized. She mentioned that they got a lot of applications and it may take some time until the next step. There were a lot of questions about firearm storage and how many firearms I have (even though they have a full DDROs printout on my name). It turned somewhat vague because I have a bunch of miscellaneous AR receivers (serialized, not 80%), that I haven't assembled into anything yet and I don't even remember exact number and type of those on top of my head. My suggestion is make a list of your firearms before you go.

P.S. I applied on Bruen's evening.

There were a lot of questions about ... how many firearms I have (even though they have a full DDROs printout on my name).

That's extremely concerning. That's absolutely none of their business and has zero relevance to getting a permit.

Congrats!

Did you get fingerprinted and photographed and asked for references?

Was any mention of the next step is Psych or training?

[frigzy]

Is the “ number of firearms you own “ a question on the application or in the interview?
You stated they had a DROS printout.
Would it be a good idea to bring your DROS paperwork to the interview?

That questions was not on the initial application (that is filled online), but it was on the one they fill out during the interview. They only asked the total number of rifles/shotguns/handguns. I don't think bringing DROS records would help - they have it on file anyway. Just count your firearms before you go if you have more than a few.

Thanks! None of the above happened. I assume, getting fingerprinted would be the next step if my case gets an initial approval by the sheriff.

Good news but Strange they are really dragging their feet for 2 months if you applied on the day 23rd. They could have told you to complete steps 1-4 on the spot.

The next phase of the policy.
1. Pay fees
2. Livescan
3. Training notice
4. FA registration

5. Possible Psyc assessment
6. Range Qualification.

Thank you Sir!

And good luck..

Why would they ask you how many firearms you have? That isn't even relevant to the whole process, only thing that would be relevant would be to ask you about the firearm you listed when you filled out the application .

Focus on Alameda County CCW

Now that SB 918 is no longer lurking around, everyone can focus on the current laws, rules and procedures.

Now that SB 918 is no longer lurking around, everyone can focus on the current laws, rules and procedures.

Agreed. It also means that issuing agencies don't get SB918's additional 30 days that were being proposed to be tacked onto Penal Code 26205.

The policy is invalid

They will have to be sued to comply. All the other counties are Competing the Interview Livescan and DROS registration at the same time. Once cleared they are issued the permit with proof of training.

If we don't sue we will all be waiting at least a year to be issued because they are going one step at a time probably a step every 4 months. Waiting a year is not logical.

I applied very quickly after Bruen and I just got the 25100 message from Alameda Sheriff.
