San Mateo

Is there any updates on the "good cause" statements for San Mateo county?

I'm also curious if anyone knows of the Sheriff is now compliant with SB610.

Well I got my denial letter today saying that I did not meet the criteria set out by the San Mateo Sheriff. It included a number to call saying that I can have an appeal in person. I could really use some help from one of the experts on how to go about this.

Actually the police told me there is a gang from the east bay that is robbing houses in Belmont and San Carlos. Up to 3-4 a week.

Damn, looks like I am going to have to start locking my doors.

You dont lock your doors? yay!

That is what I thought. We bought a new home in Lake County and will be moving my primary residence there. I will just apply in Lake County then. I hear all you have to say there is self defence.

I have a residence in Belmont. A couple of months ago the house was broken in to in the middle of the day. My wife and daughter are horrified. They took all of our guns, TVs, cash and more. Would this be a good enough cause in San Mateo County?

No, plus they will figure, since they took all your guns, you will have no need for a carry license since you will have nothing to carry.

On a serious note, hope that your family was not home at the time and all is well now.

Must look out for the bad guys now as I am only down the road from you. It seems that this area is starting pick up on the crime rate. Damn, looks like I am going to have to start locking my doors.

NO, In home is already a right and there is no need for an LTC in the home.

It would be better to tailor or present your GCS in an everyday, everywhere way, outside of the home.

The lady that called me was not well versed on the training aspect and couldn't give me the details I wanted. I know now that it's strings of shots totaling 48 rounds per pistol, and I guess they figure "50" is a nice round number.

Do you know if they use a B27(the politically correct version), a "Q" or something else?

Its not a B27, TQ15 maybe?

its 48, afaik

All I have is the model app, so it's not county-specific and probably was stripped out. I drove down to Belmont PD and got a copy of their app and all it says is bring at least 36 rounds per listed firearm, while the Sheriff's dept told me this morning to bring "at least" 50 per listed firearm. I'll make some more calls and see who has that fo and then post here for posterity.
So far I'm about 5 weeks into the process. It looks like the longest wait is going to be between approval and the training, which looks like about 7 weeks. Plenty of time to brush up.

The details for the course of fire is in the original packet I got from Tom. PM me if you need a copy. There was a thread with description from someone who actually took the class recently. I just can't find it anymore.

How long did it take from original application to approval?

Congratulations, hope to join soon-

Got a call at home late yesterday while I was still at the office. Application approved, range/class date scheduled for 5/6. Just need to send them the other $100 and show up with guns, ammo and holsters.

Maybe I missed it in the application, but what is the course of fire? (I was a little too giddy to remember to ask the lady and now she's not answering her phone.)

Update, Belmont PD is returning my application saying that I should have filled pages 11-14. I think this is wrong. It says so on the application itself and also on the application from the Sheriff office. So I think I will take this opportunity to withdraw it and take it directly to the Sheriff office. It seems at the sheriff office they are more familiar with the process .

Be sure to go to the sheriff's office on a Tuesday or Wednesday, as those are the days Tom Merson is there to handle your request. You can even call ahead and make an appointment so you can get your livescan done as well. If you need the number PM me.
