Has anyone been able to get a hold of the CCW person at SMSD since last week?

My phone message has not been returned...

Call and ask for Captain John Quinlan.

Folks, I've read through the entire thread, but I'm still very confused. Can anyone please clarify the process of obtaining an LTC to me? The SMSO web site lists multiple numbers, which one am I supposed to call? I also found two different application forms, one seems to be newer than the other, which one should I use?
The form instructions say that Sections 6, 7 and 8 must be completed in the presence of an official - so do I have to fill out my "good cause" and the rest of the info BEFORE submitting an initial application, or only when my interview is scheduled?
And how about the city PD vs the sheriff's office? If I live in Foster City, do I have to contact the FCPD first or not?
Sorry for so many questions, but there's a lot of mixed info here and not one clear set of instructions.

UPDATE: I got all the info I needed, thanks everyone who responded in PM.

Yes, there are criteria. The San Mateo CCW app on calgunsfoundation.org lists them. They mostly seem in line with what I remember from May 2012. Some things are incorrect, however. The SO lets you list more than 1 firearm on your permit, for example. and no one cared that one pistol was owned prior to the registration requirement went into effect (bought prior to the end of FTF transactions) for another applicant. Also, there was no issue with drawing from an OWB holster (i.e. a Serpa).


Staff has changed a bit, and I haven't asked what that means (if anything) in terms of the procedures for qualification. You could always call the Range Master and ask. He might even be OK with setting up a time for you to come by the range and see where the magic happens and how things are set up.

Suppose you have just one firearm listed on the LTC permit, and later on acquired another, can you request this new firearm to just be added on your permit, or do you need to show or go through qualification for the new firearm?
Also is there a minimum caliber requirements for LTC?

You may add or change at a later date, but you will have to go through the qualification.

Did this when one listed firearm went in for repairs. Factory replaced it, so the S/N changed. Same make, same model, same caliber. Still had to qualify to get it listed (annoying).

But you did get free range time where you could draw from a holster and get tips if you want 'em.

Much appreciate for anyone who can chime in on this.

My application was denied in December 2012. Should I re-apply? or can I still make an appeal? I'd like to call the SMSO (Capt. John Quinlan - per Gene's post at the above) but not sure what to say.

I was going to call them to ask whether I should re-apply or make an appeal, but should I say that I re-visited this because of the ruling? Thank you so much for any help on this.

My understanding to the threads is that the time for it to go en band etc. will be up on March 6th. If I read it write the lower court should order the enforcement on the 6th or 7th.

Does anyone know if there are range qualification criteria for the CCW in San Mateo County, # yrds, # rds, and/or # points? The SMCO SO website is a jumbled mess of tabs and links that go nowhere.

I have a thread on when I went through this process 2 years ago which include the range qualifications HERE.


The qualifications then were:
48 rounds total, per gun.
12 rounds at 3 yards 1 handed
12 rounds at 5 yards 2 handed
12 rounds at 8 yards 2 handed
12 rounds at 11 yards 2 handed

You have to get 37 of 48 (if I recall correctly). If you have a wheel gun it's 10 rounds at each distance instead of 12.



I'm actually taking the class again this Sunday for the renewal and will update the thread with the renewal proceedure and if the range qualifications have changed.

Thanks Kaligaran, I for one would be really interested in knowing what procedures currently are in place.

[ghostrider4evr]

Would anyone be kind enough to explain the CCW application procedure? I reside in South San Francisco. Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know if the SMCSO will waive the training requirement if you have been Active Duty Military? I know that you will still need to prove you are quailified on a live fire range for the Sheriff, but can a DD214 be used in lieu of taking the 16 hours of individual training classes first?

thanks

[code33]

Haven't heard that they will accept a DD214 in lieu of their course.

Unless things have changed recently:
SMCSO does the training class at Coyote Point once a month on a Sunday evening.
It is 4 hrs long, including qualification. Longer, if you need to stick around to qualify with more guns.

So you can only qualify with .22 rimfires, then?

I kid, I kid

[Mad-B-Man]

So I was looking at Daly City PD's fees and they want 410 dollars for a new CCW permit

You can shoot centerfire handguns at CP, as long as youre an RO and member of the club.
