I jumped the gun on training too, but explained to the deputy that I wanted the training for my AZ CCW regardless of my approval in LA. My timeline below makes me believe I will be getting a denial letter soon enough.
Wow Very long interview this am.....My impressions.
1. Very serious Deputy. Did not smile once.
2. Was there about an hour.
3. Does not have record of any of my guns, and I brought copies of all of my DROS's for him to keep.
4. Questioned why did I do Livescan and training first? I explained "I'm just pro-active and I realize it could be a gamble and I completely understand I could have wasted my money.
5. Asked me all of the standard questions. No to everything except two questions:
A. Have I ever been in a fight? Yes at 11 years old over 30 years ago, I was jumped after school by two guys he wanted details then said have you ever been in anymore fights? No, so he put no on his checklist.
B. Have I been listed on any police report for any reason? I said yes, because I was in an injury accident with 4 other cars back in 2015.
Deputy asked about DV, Stalking, Psych, Illegal Drugs, MJ Card? Use any controlled substances, street racing, stalking, dishonorably discharged? (Never in the military.)
I put on my GC work, I showed cash deposits, but I also put on my application my rental properties, but I forgot to bring proof of ownership location pictures deed property tax statements leases etc. He said because I put that on my application I needed to show proof. He signed my application in front of me, and siad he has to write a report to his superiors and then if they approve they would send me an email to get training "But I jumped the gun and already did that" Then he said after that then I would get an email to go do Livescan "But I jumped the gun on that" But then he said " Youve definitely sped up the process for yourself jumping the gun" but you will hear back from us.
"Please send proof of rental property documents to my MY personal email address, Emphasis the DEPUTY : DO NOT EMAIL THE GENERAL CCW EMAIL ADDRESS YOU WILL SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS FOR EVERYONE AND WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF APPLICATIONS TO PROCESS AND THERE IS ONLY & OF US REVIEWING THE APPLICATIONS!"
I immediately drove home and personally emailed him pics of my rental property, pics of the gang graffiti on the property my tenant had texted me, pic of the address and overview of property, property tax statements, deed of trust, and LA City HCIDLA (Google It Im not explaing) Rental Registration Certificate.)
I thanked him for his time and he walked me out.
My concerns:
1. Yes he did receive my 4/14 George Floyd Riots happening dropped off application.
2. Very very serious. My impression, he didnt like me jumping the gun on training and Livescan.
3. Never smiled but did shake my hand, did ask for additional supporting proof, went over my small business ownership documents, questioned me for 20 minutes on why I used cash in my business did I report it to the IRS? Where do I get the cash, where do I deposit it, from whom and why. He asked how much cash per week I said in average 15,000 with atm and reciepts and bank statements to back it up.
Have I ever called the police for any reason? Yes I had some kids do ding dong ditch in my neighborhood back in 2018 we live in a sheriff patrolled neighborhood, we called 911 they showed up, no report taken.
Have I ever had an altercation with aneighbor? No
Have I ever street raced?
Have ever been a prty to a domestic violence situation? No
Have I ever tried to comitt suiciude? No
Have I ever ccw illegally? No
Do I own any unregistered weapons? No
What freaked me out and I wasnt going to challenge him is he said that my livescan was not complete even though it shows complete on the CADOJ website that is was completed 5/29 but with the deputy being super serious I didnt want to push the issue and I got the feeling or gut he's super busy and just wants to be done.
The applicant before me was an old man, and the paplicant after was an old man.
I figure I have a 50/50 yes no because I jumped the gun on everything and he didnt like that. But fingers crossed, I put my best foot forward wore a suit and had copiesof everything, and will hope for the best. YMMV
