Might be a dumb question but are we allowed to carry more than one magazine with our ccw?

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.

Some updates are needed to this post.
1. LASD is no longer accepting registration as proof of residency.
2. Wait for interview. Should be updated to reflect more than 6 months.
3. Personal checks no longer accepted. Money order only.

Just thought that this should be more current and will probably need to be changed again when the SCOTUS releases the NY decision.

Anyone have or can point me to the current ccw numbers as far as issuance and those that are still in progress? Thanks!

They are posted from time to time in this thread, you'll have to search back.

N.B. You asked about the number in process. AV often refers to a number "in the hopper" which I don't know if he has ever defined. It seems to be the number that have been approved but not yet picked up and is rather meaningless. If you are looking for what most of us would consider to be in process, the the number of applications that have been received but have neither been confirmed nor denied, I have never seen him discuss that number.

I did my interview back in april 2022 and was told to proceed with livescan. Still waiting for firearms portion to clear. Is it too late to add an additional firearm. I only included 2 on my app.

I believe you can add to the application before the permit is issued and you will of course need to qualify with it.
