My Qual class is on 10/16. Can you confirm your 10/23 appt? I thought they were only doing 1 class per month at the moment.

Someone earlier posted that the they added an additional class for the month of October.

Just to add a little more information for others. Both my wife and I applied same day. The time line is as follows:
Applied 6/24
Scanned 6/25
CA b/g 7/8
FBI b/g7/6
Firearms8/4

She was approved on 8/31. I didn't receive any notice yet. She missed the initial call and received an email and a text to pay the remaining fee. She scheduled the range qualifications when she got a call back to remind her to set up a appt on 9/7. She was able to set up an appointment for 10/23. She emailed to ask about the holsters and a officer instructed her to bring a good quality holster and said it didn't matter if it was IWB or OWB. She decided she is going to bring OWB because she think it's easier and less stressful to qualify with. She asked the person on the phone about my application and was told "...moving through the chain of command." Hope this hopes clear up somethings for you guys

Interesting. Did you or your wife have to do an interview? Did both of your live scans complete at the same time? And are there any other variables/factors that might've affected your application (if you are comfortable sharing)? Still trying to figure out how they are going about doing things. Thanks for sharing!

Yep. They've been using Permitium for some time now. It's just that they've been used to instantly rejecting applications instead of actually processing them.

One would think that is the easier button to push...

Stunning the SO didn't sign up for Permitium software- that's what lots and lots of agencies are using for CCW programs. Its web based, intuitive but a little klunky (you'll get through it) including renewals.

A least 3 years.

Best of luck to everyone patiently awaiting their approvals!

From the delays, it then sounds like indeed they bought it- but aren't quite up to speed on using it. Fair enough, it came around very quickly. Appreciate the update.

Here’s to hoping Monday starts off with a barrage of acceptance notices….

I just called the Sheriff's department to see if they've added additional Range Qualification classes. I was told that they added 1 additional class in October which is now filled, but have not added any new classes for November or December. I then asked if I would need to call back if additional classes were scheduled, she said no. My current class is in February, if a new class is added in November, she said those already scheduled would be notified in order and moved up to the new spots. So likely my spot would only move up to January, possibly December, if at all.

That's better than nothing. I'm just thankful that I'm not in one of our neighboring counties right now.

[evdrip]

Perhaps. If they are actively trying to add more courses in the coming months, I don't think it's wise to schedule people just to reschedule them at a later date. That would take more time and resources from them when they could be processing apps, backgrounds, interviews, etc. And there are definitely a good amount of applicants who are not posting on CG.

Just contacted the sheriff to see if I could move up my CCW date to earlier and i was told she could not confirm or deny that new dates would be added. Crossing my fingers that I'll be moved up!
