It looks like LASD has long line and long wait for processing. What will be the odd for applying at LAPD?

I would give it a shot, considering LASD is already backlogged. I called them a few days ago, they said they've been inundated with calls and are trying to figure out how to proceed. The have only one CCW coordinator. In the meantime they put me on a wait list.

Just bear in mind LAPD requires the state maximum of 16 hours training, while LASD requires 8. I wouldn't be surprised if LAPD added other requirements related to "good moral character".

Also, LA county sheriff did mention today that he may defer those in cities back to their own PD, as was in the past.

You know I was wondering on my denial letter I have a phone number of a sergeant it says that if we have any questions about our denial we can call this person. I did call this person when I was first denied and he said there’s nothing he can do since I was already denied but now with the recent changes I’m wondering instead of emailing CCW unit why not just call him? Maybe I can get a direct answer

You can likely buy either used, but you'll pay more for them. Its not difficult to get off roster guns, just expensive. Unless AV has a specific rule about carrying an off roster gun, that shouldn't be a roadblock either.

No rule about off roster pistols all three of mine are. The only grey area is the mags. I'm sticking with 10 for now until the legal case is decided. So far I haven't needed more than that...

50,000 permits for LA County

Here's an article following up on the Sheriff's video stream. The part I found most interesting was they are reaching out to local LEA's to help with the process, so that may reduce the backlog significantly.

Yes, #26 is the same one that Kathy Yokel in New York pushed, and the biggest problem in my opinion. Other than gun stores, how many businesses will put a "guns welcome" sign by the door?

Let's see if the bodyguards of Hollywood elite conform to that rule, plus the ones about auditoriums and such


All this, in my mind, suggests that at least one of everyone's carry arms should be a tiny pocket pistol. Reduced stopping power is better than zero stopping power.

So just before submitting to LASD I reached out to Burbank PD (I reside in Burbank) to see if they are accepting apps. They said yes. I furthered inquired that I wanted to know where is the best place for a Burbank resident to apply, BPD or LASD. As I was waiting for the Officer to get someone to help me., another officer overhearing me stated that someone he knows was told by LASD to take his app to BPD. I ask was that recently he said yes.

Oblivious I don't know what the out come will be . I'll post here what happens. But it looks like BPD may be changing their issuance standards.

Late Sept

Nice to know they are now starting on Late Sept apps! That's the latest I have seen.

Also good to see that BPD is taking apps in the process.
