Like a few others here, I am waiting on my firearms portion of the livescan to clear. The DOJ and FBI results come quickly but the firearms portion seems to take a long time. I did a livescan back at the beginning of January 2020 and I found the paperwork. It took 27 days back then so I think 1 month is a good estimate.

Does anyone know what the firearms portion is checking and what the results show?

Im curious about this too, I'm assuming it shows every firearm you've ever owned at a minimum?

Why bother applying with your local PD? Just apply with the sheriff.

Will do! Thank you.

Status update, today went to LAPD Academy for the short interview and to hand in CCW Application. I was told to expect 2 letters, one stating that I submitted the application and 2nd would be either approval or denial letter.

Longtime reader of this thread. New to CG. Appreciate all the work Paladin and others have contributed to this cause.

It is surprising LASD is no longer requiring a denial letter from non-MOU agencies.

AV and LAPD Chief Moore are hosting a virtual event now. Hopefully someone (or I) will ask a question pertaining to CCWs. As we are all aware, LAPD rarely issues CCWs to the law-abiding. Most LAPD permits are for reserves and retirees. On July 17, 2020, LAPD had a mere 4 citizen permits on its books (see https://recordsrequest.lacity.org/requests/20-4079).

In attendance now. So far I've heard one reference to CCW with pretty typical responses from Villanueva and Moore. Nothing really new there.

For those who have been inquiring, here is how my application timeline broke down:

2-01-21 - mailed application to downtown L.A. location (per LASD)
2-10-21 - missed call from LASD (which I didn't see until a few days later)
2-15-21 - returned call to LASD and was scheduled for interview
2-17-21 - did interview
2-25-21 - CCW Unit emails with instructions to do livescan
2-25-21 - did Livescan and emailed proof to CCW Unit
3-20-21 - Livescan cleared (finally)
3-24-21 - CCW Unit emailed me to complete required training
4-11-21 - took training class
4-12-21 - emailed class certs (minor drama ensued - certificate unclear)
4-14-21 - sent acceptable class completion certificate
4-19-21 - email from CCW Unit re: receiving training docs and that I will be contacted to pick up license once my file is complete

I'll update this post when I receive my appointment to pick up my permit.

Welcome to the CG Community. Lots of excellent info here. And as is true of all interweb forums. Some FUD is always expected.

Can you are others provide a link to this "event"? Hopefully NOT a FACEBUTT link. Many such as myself here. Refuse to join such Anti 2A platforms.

I think I can answer, at least based on my experience in San Diego. They are checking to make sure that each firearm you are wanting listed on your permit is registered to you. I don't believe any firearms you are not listing have any importance in this process.

Does this mean the sheriffs get a list of every firearm registered to you and they compare it with your application? Or after you submit your livescan, do they provide the doj with the firearms you applied with?

During my interview, the deputy informed me that they only check the ones that are on the application. Livescan, I believe, only gives a clearance rather than the entire list of all your firearms even though they probably check that each is clear of any legal issues (e.g. reported as stolen).

Based on my experience, this description seems accurate.
