              What did you find that was less than honest on their website?

                  You are probably fine to take training, if you want to save the money until told to take training, that would be a safer bet.

                    The safer bet is to take training after your pass the background check.

                    If you're confident you're going to pass, I would just take it.

                    They just can't tell you to take training, come back with a bad BGC and you go back to them and say "Hey you told me to get train and now I'm out $200"

                    They're just covering their asses, and we're telling you to get training now to speed up the process.

                      I just went through their website and they don't actually mention anything regarding hours.

                      Maybe it's just the way they run their courses, being two days - 16 full hours instead of the 8 hours.

                      It was most likely me being an idiot and saying 16 hours mistakenly.


                      I understand I could have taken a cheaper and quick course. But we like FT3 and I'm never opposed to more training.

                          Bullet point. New Applicants must complete a training course lasting at least 8 hours but not exceeding16 hours.

                              Still waiting for the interview call, which I hope will come. $30 check deposited by LASD few days ago; submitted in early April. I'm assuming for applicants they judge not to get a CCW they don't even bother calling to schedule an interview? Not saying that's gonna happen in my case (light green GC), but I figure that is probably one of the main hurdles is getting an interview in the first place.

                                I sent in my application and they received the application on 4/15. They already cashed the money order. Does everyone get an interview or do they send out rejection letters to people who they feel don't have sufficient GC?
