if you change address and submit right away, does your current permit expire at any point? or still good to carry until new one comes in?

No clue, they didn't even say. Just said confirming receipt and you'll be called to pick up

Question, i am waiting for my call from LASD for an interview in the next few weeks, however, i am a resident in Long Beach and they just opened their application process today. The fees are very high, but do you think it will be much faster to go through their process, let me know what you all think. Thanks.

I was planning on going with the LBPD route also as I am a LB resident. From what I?m told is that the upside with Lb is the turnaround should be way quicker with LASD . Only thing is the higher fees, 16hours minimum of training instead of 8, and the pysh eval. I was told that only 1 firearm can be listed on the ccw but I see their app showing a max of 3 so, not sure about that part.

When did you apply with LASD?

Final renewal timeline report:

- 5/3/23 Permit Exp.
- 11/3/22 Submit Renewal Application
- 3/9/23 Received email from CCW Unit to send utility bill and setup interview
- 3/10/23 Phone interview
- 4/12/23 Approved with email to do required training
- 4/21/23 Did training and submitted late that date (Fri evening so effectively sent in training completion 4/24/23)
- 5/1/23 Received call to pickup permit
- 5/4/23 Pickup date

So after submitting 6 months in advance, had a one day lapse between old permit and new permit. Granted, I could have saved about 2 weeks if I had taken my tranining prior to receiving approval call. But as I stated before, I advise submitting your renewal, at least 6 months in advance.

that timeline is insane

you already have the permit. you would think it's a matter of checking boxes and a couple of weeks at most

That is just ridiculous!

Any first time applicant pick up calls over the weekend? Very curious to know how many pick up calls are being made daily.

Apply to long beach while going through LASD, and withdraw your app to which ever one is taking longer

Long Beach wants $500 for application, so might as well take longer but with a 470$ discount

LBC is without a doubt going to be faster, although that does not mean better.

Im in almost the exact same situation with my city. It appears my city and LBC are very similar in their CCW approval process, minus the 16 hours training.

I could drop from LASD and move to my city but I refuse to pay the crazy high fees and unconstitutional requirements, regardless of turn around times.

Also, if you move out of LBC to somewhere else within LA County you have to reapply with whatever jurisdiction you then fall under. With LASD at least you just submit a change and wait for them to process it. All the while still having your CCW.

Thats my two cents.

True, that and no psych eval..

Long Beach CCW

Good day, I agree, i am just going to wait for my interview call from LASD, which should be soon i hope. The fees from LB are extremely high. Thanks.

Got the “training docs received” email after following up with them via email this morning.

Which city in LA county has the highest fees? Long Beach is $500 and Santa Monica is $619. Hopefully, these should be challenged eventually.

[DProm]

Not to mention psych eval and 16hours training. I’m hanging on and waiting for LASD myself. Hopefully soon, just did my live scan as to what the website says for those that submitted apps before 08/01/22.

[SuperLux]

I sent my training docs twice on April 8th and 11th as a follow up to confirm receipt and didn’t get confirmation of receipt however, I got a request for current utility bill on on April 17th which I promptly sent in. Am I assuming confirmation of receipt on the training docs with the request for current utility bill?

Hey Guys, looking through the livescan paperwork (I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and do it now so I feel like there's SOME progress being made)...

Can anyone confirm that the Billing Number, Misc. number, "Your Number:", and employer section can/should be left blank?

This is the form I'm looking at: https://lasd.org/wp-content/uploads/...722_091222.pdf
