My brother-in-law just received a pick-up call date change. The Deputy let him know, they had an earlier date available, so instead of June 7th, he is now picking up June 2nd. That was nice they offered the earlier date.

When does his license expire

[N4OGL]

Got a call on Sunday (!) to pick up, and I missed the "Unknown" caller. Called back Monday and scheduled a June 21 pick-up in Monterey Park. They reminded me its $120 in cashier's check or money order.

Got a call for pick up Sunday morning from a “No Caller ID” at 8:52AM and first available date was 6/22. I scheduled for 6/30 since I will be traveling and also was told to bring a cashier’s check for $120. Please don’t be discouraged if you don’t receive confirmation of training docs received since I sent two emails and didn’t get a response back yet got called for pick up.

How cool would it be if we get called to pick up on the same day!

I just saw your post! Cool! I still haven’t heard anything. I have been monitoring all incoming calls. Thus far nada. Hoping s
I hear something soon.

Be on the lookout for a call in the next few days since both N4OGL and I submitted our training docs on 4/08 and got a call Sunday so they might be calling in the order they received the docs. You only submitted yours a few days later so you should be up soon. Good luck!

I just did my interview this morning. A few observations:

1. The deputy insisted that I update the firearms I intended to use on the app. I was able to replace firearms. I need to email him the serial numbers. I?ll try to swap another later before qualifying.
2. I was given a timeframe of 5 months to license.
3. It was 15 minutes, reviewed my app and answered a separate questionnaire with about 25 questions in all.
4. There are two more approval steps: initial after which I?ll receive a proceed to training email and final with the undersheriff.
5. The deputy that called me to schedule is the person that interviewed me.

Mailed app exactly 10 months ago today.

If you submitted before August 1, 2022, did you do a livescan? See https://lasd.org/ccw/

Hey Veecious,
Thanks for posting the info, this is helpful. Could you post your timeline (when was your app submitted, when did they cash your money order, etc.)?

[CAT112]

I?m curious now; when was there an update to the website? I submitted my renewal package a little over a month ago and double checked to make sure the renewal fee was $30. Now it states $45. Am I confused or did they just update it?

Still haven?t gotten word from them and the permit is about to expire :/ . We'll see how long this takes?

QUICK UPDATE: Got the phone call and got asked supplemental questions (pretty much reviewed what was on my application) on 4/30, followed by training approval email on 5/07. Submitted training and proficency forms on 5/15. Now awaiting for pick up date.

Time line (RENEWAL):
3/28 - Renewal app/docs submitted
4/30 - Call received; app reviewed and submitted for approval
5/07 - Training Approval Email
5/15 - Training Cert and Proficiency Form submitted

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department CCW Policy and Application: http://lasd.org/ccw_info.html

You have to be a resident of a city to apply with a city's Police Department.

Residents of the City of Los Angeles should read this thread on applying with LAPD: https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/....php?t=1423638

Glendale, Glendora, and Torrance issue CCWs through their Police Departments, but they rarely/restrictively issue them. The first two are probably light red, the last light red, maybe yellow.

Anyone who gets denied in Los Angeles Co (either by a city's PD or by the Sheriff's Office), and wants to fight it should read the following quote from my ("Paladin") post in the Monterey Co thread. (There they accept SD as GC, but push the GMC requirement.) The 14th Amendment Equal Protection applies to ALL aspects of the application process, not just GC and GMC.

LA COUNTY CCW FAQ

Do you still need a denial letter from LAPD?

As of April 2021, you do NOT need a denial letter from LAPD. Apply directly to LASD if you live in LA County.

Should I fill out every section of the application, even though it states not to?

YES. If you look closely on the LASD CCW website, it states the complete sections 1-8 and sign your name wherever stated. You are sending the application to LASD and not the DOJ, so signing all sections, including section 7, is required to process your application.

Where should I submit my application? Should I drop it off to my local LASD?

No. Mail or drop off to the address stated on the LASD CCW website. If you drop it off to your local department, you are at the mercy of their administrative assistant?s schedule of delivery. This adds unnecessary time to your application.

LASD did not cash my money order/check. What is going on?

The date of cashing your money order or check is not important. There have been reports of cashing it within days or not cashing it until after the interview. If you do not mail your application by certified mail, you can view whether they cashed your money order or check as a confirmation of receipt.

How do you know they cashed your money order?

If you mailed with a USPS money order, there is a tracking number. Check your status at https://tools.usps.com/money-orders.htm

How long does it take to receive an interview?

This answer will be ever changing due to the influx of applications as time goes, but it appears to range anywhere from 2-6 months.

There was nowhere to submit my e-mail address in the application. Did I miss something?

When you get a call for your interview, your deputy will ask you for your e-mail address for further instructions.

Can you use your car registration as your proof of residency?

Yes.

What is the interview like?

The interview is brief and they go over your application with you to confirm your answers and good cause. They will ask general questions from a two page sheet like, ?have you ever been in a fight, do you smoke marijuana, etc.? Remember to be truthful and disclose ALL information including expunged records. This may cause a delay or denial to your application processing time if everything is not revealed upfront.

This is the time to provide evidence for your good cause. It is recommended to bring originals and make copies of all your evidence, along with your basic information (passport, proof of residence, w2?s, driver?s license).

Should I do my livescan early?

This is a personal choice. It is not believed to harm your eligibility and at this time it may or may not process your application faster. The gap of time between application submission and receiving a phone call to schedule an interview is months. If you know you have a squeaky clean record and are willing to gamble the $120-$135 livescan fee in case of denial, that is your choice. Due to extended wait times, your livescan may expire before your application is processed so proceed with caution.

Should I do my training early?

This is a personal choice. It is not believed to harm your eligibility and at this time it may or may not process your application faster. It is currently believed the best process is to do your training early and WAIT until they send you the e-mail or phone call to proceed with training to submit the training. This way, you receive confirmation your application is moving forward. Again, only do training early if you are willing to gamble the fees in case of denial. Due to extended wait times, your training may expire before your application is processed so proceed with caution.

How do I submit my training?

Take photos of the two completed sheets and e-mail them as an attachment to the CCW unit?s e-mail CCW_Unit@lasd.org

I have not heard back in X weeks/months. Should I contact them for the status of my application?

No. There are currently thousands of applications with a larger influx coming in every week. They will send a generic response and all it does is slow down the unit?s capacity overall.

How do you know when your livescan has been completed?

Check the status of your livescan at https://applicantstatus.doj.ca.gov/ This does not necessarily reflect when the CCW unit receives the results of your livescan.

How long does it take to get issued?

This is an ever changing issue but is likely to take five months to a year.

I?m a resident of Santa Clarita and submitted my application at the Santa Clarita Sheriff?s Dept. Question: where will the interview be done?

Thanks?

Fees were updated recently. When you get the call for pick up, the deputy will give you the amount of money you owe when you pick up your new license. They are now requesting 2 money orders for pick up. One made out to LASD and one made out to the DOJ

No one will know until your interview is scheduled.
Someone from Lancaster had to drive all the way to Monterey Park for their interview.

Safest assumption if you need to make one right this minute is that your interview will be in Monterey Park.
