Qualified Saturday, picked up my CCW permit today. As others have said, once you qualify, there is no more BS. I was in and out in 10 minutes.

"Making San Mateo County safer, one CCW at a time!"

Congrats!

Congrats!

Thanks! I think the guys downstairs in the building where the permits are handed out knew what I was there for. Must be a steady stream of non-felon looking types going in and out pretty quick in an office that normally doesn't get a lot of foot traffic. One of the guards at the door sort of saluted me on the way out. I think the San Mateo County Sherrif's office is full of "gun guys."

Is this "Jennifer" who everyone is sending Xmas candy and gift cards to?

Jennifer is great and has helped out a bunch of people get squared away.

I emailed cert on Saturday, didn't get an email on Monday, so I called Tuesday. Maybe I was jumping the gun, but I was polite and Jennifer was very helpful and scheduled me for Tuesday afternoon.

And yes, I think we should all send her cards and chocolates, she has been very helpful.

Thanks. I will wait patiently for the call.

I saw on her email signature she only works Tues-Fridays. So for me getting contacted on Monday was not a concern. Also, there is a chance she works this Friday if she doesn't take a PTO day. I don't think it's a gov holiday. So some more people may get processed. From my count, there were 20 people from Saber on Saturday, 12 from Gun Kraft Saturday and 11 from Gun Kraft on Sunday (1 guy from Alameda county took the class thinking the class would apply to the training requirements of Alameda county).

I also emailed Jennifer my certificate right as we were handed out our certs by Saber. I was second to receive my cert and took a pic and sent her an email while people were still getting theirs handed out. So, I gather that she is process them as FIFO. I got contacted at 9:11am and picked mine up at 10:30am, Tuesday.

TIP: for others in the future if you want your permit issued most quickly after the class is to send in your cert ASAP once you receive the cert in hand.

You have to have the class done and certs turned into her within 90 days of them approving. I got my approval phone call/email and got into a class as soon as I could which I believe was 5 days after approval. I emailed her and told her I completed the class on a Friday. She got back into the office the following Monday and got a hold me. That same day I was walking out with my permit.

As far as I can tell she's really the only one, or at least the one handling the majority of this process. She's doing a pretty darn good job. Imagine if they hired even 2 more people to help her out.

Picked up my permit this past Wednesday 11/23/22. I did the ccw qualification with Saber Tactics and went very smoothly. Would definitely recommend Nick and staff. Looking forward to more civilian classes he does in the future.

I applied on 6/27/22. Approved on 11/12/22.

Anybody who took 11-19 Gun Kraft class got their permit yet?

One pro-tip for anyone qualifying in SM County: You do have to draw from concelament. This was contrary to info previously posted on this thread. You can use an OWB holster, but you need a cover garment over it

Thanks for clarifying
