Sounds like it's a plastic card. Not sure about the photo, but I would imagine so. Thumb print is likely as well.

I figured the answer was in the forum somewhere, but honestly appreciate you giving me the straight answer. Thanks haha

Couple questions, is the permit in card form and do we take a picture? Or is it some medieval piece of paper like SF does that we have to laminate ourselves? Just curious.

Congrats! It's been a long time coming. Is it a paper permit only or do they give you both a paper and plastic wallet sized card?

Only a card.

Hi Chris1, we're happy to answer that question. During the CCW four hour practical training and qualification, we cover the basics of proper drawing, proper reholstering from concealment, as well as the fundamentals of marksmanship. We do several dry fire drills along with a practical live fire drill (all from concealment) before we do the qualification.

We are going to be offering the four hour CCW fundamentals block to anyone who wants to practice drawing from concealment on our website by the end of this week, and starting in January, we will be offering a complete eight hour course covering the same in much more detail.

Feel free to shoot us a private message if you have any questions!

My firearm background check has been listed as "In Progress" since 7/21. I guess some of these might fall through the cracks of the CA DOJ?

Maybe. I would contact DOJ Applicant Information Services via email at Applicantinfoservices@doj.ca.gov

Meanwhile, you can read up on information in the following webpages and see if you fall into any categories that would delay your live scan.

Still waiting for DOJ Firearms check

Are you referring to the firearms portion of the live scan? If so, nobody really knows for sure.

The requirement from the County of San Mateo is 12 rounds each from the five, seven, and 10 yard lines. They only require that you hit the silhouette, not a particular A zone, B zone, etc. That is also the same requirements that we use as an outside vendor for our qual test. Each outside vendor may vary though.

I agree- he's going to have plenty of "undoing Laurie messes" to clean up, not the least of which is the jail system. CCW he can quickly put behind him by doing as SCOTUS directed and everything prior was "before my time".

We'll see what they do. Jonsen doesn't sound promising though. He was awarded the "Gun Sense Candidate Distinction" from Moms Demand Action. He also wants psychological test, more training, and annual qualifications. But if they start processing apps, it will be better than Laurie Smith I guess.

Hopefully he isn’t up for a fight with the federal courts. So far, the vast majority of district court judges are following the letter and spirit of NYSRPA v Bruen. Hopefully federal appeals court judges will too.

FWIW Palo Alto PD, where Jonsen had been chief until recently, told me they do not issue CCWs. https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/Depar...tact-Directory

Alameda and Santa Clara counties are getting new sheriffs in early January.



ETA: looks like Jonsen is ahead of our preference, Jensen, and final results might not be available for another week!

SF, SCC, ALCO, and COCO are horrible though.

Just going off what I read in the email. I've only been tangentially following SF and SC, haven't looked into Marin or the East Bay.

I see. I remember seeing a post of someone having the permit in-hand about a month ago. And I think that was like a week or two before we saw posts of people getting their permits here in SMCO.

"Congrats...."



Really? I thought Marin was diligently processing and issuing like San Mateo.

As we updated you earlier this week, just in the past several days two counties that had been dragging their feet responded to CRPA's repeated warnings to implement processes compliant with the Bruen decision. Marin and, of course, San Francisco counties replied to CRPA to affirm that they have now begun to process CCW applications more expeditiously, without additional restrictions, tests, costs, or other bureaucratic delays.

What is the firearms background check?

Submitted my Livescan few weeks ago.

It'd basically a " firearms eligibility check" just like the doj would do if you were to apply for a coe.
