Seems like a really good week for CGNers

You were told to do the livescan and training at the same time? That's different. I don't think anyone has had that happen yet. I am still waiting for my damn email lol.

My deputy handed me the live scan form. I was asked "Have you done your training?" I said "No, I have not." he handed me a list of trainers to choose from and said I I want the quick and cheap one go to X.

I opted to use MedicUp which is much more detailed and added the stop the bleed course.

This is surprising to me. Isn't the norm for people to complete their livescan and then wait for the go ahead to complete training or your denial letter? I am sure the approved training isn't far from what LASD has on their site.

For the livescan can I go anywhere to get it done ?

Anywhere livescans are completed.

Definitely not at Trader Joes.

For those of you who got an email to proceed with LiveScan but did it ahead of time, did you go get another one?

Also, I typically respond to/acknowledge emails, do you think it’s appropriate to respond to these types of emails with an acknowledgment/thank you, despite the “word on the street” that they don’t want to be bothered with them?

All I know is, just because something falls under a certain color GC, does not make it necessarily a valid one in that county. For example, remote hiking with low law enforcement response times I am fairly certain is not an accepted GC in LA County as of summer 2021. My interviewing deputy basically said so (not sure if it was meant in general or for me personally)

Read my CCW Application Advice thread pinned at the top of the forum.

Thanks for your service.

Thanks for the tips. Should I include as many that would apply to me? is there a limit to how many GC needed? The more the better? I know we would need to back our GC statements with evidence. What color tier guideline should I follow? From what is shown on the resource thread here its Light green which is Recreational risk. Thanks again!

For some reason people don’t get that a county’s color is the weakest GC it will accept. IOW a color subsumes all the colors beneath it: a Yellow GC county accepts Yellow, Light Red and Dark Red GCs. The lower the color (on the map’s index), the stronger the GC. IOW if you’ve got a restraining order out against some nut case threatening to kill you, use that not “hiking in the wilderness…“

Good news guys!!! I finally got a call today from the investigator giving me the go to do the livescan & the training. It's been almost a month since my interview. Literally been refreshing my emails and everything for the past month.

What color is your GC?

What color is your GC?

Light Red sir

Negative. I did my interview and was told to proceed with live scan. I was confident my live scan would come back clean and took training before I was told. I submitted my training paperwork to the CCW unit the same day my live scan all cleared.

No one at LASD said anything and it shaved 1 month off my process
