Los Angeles

It was when he did his interview; just application when he initially submitted. My thinking is business owner with legitimate risk is a priority since he submitted way after I did and everystep was way behind me and yet he was issued his permit a month before I was. Keep in mind that all these were submitted pre- Bruen so good cause then was of utmost importance hence the voluminous documentation; circumstances might have changed after Bruen since GC was not a decisive requirement anymore. Either that, or just pure luck of the draw.

Good stuff brother! Will save this info

Thanks for the info. I’m a business owner with major cash deposits and a now-expired workplace violence restraining order. I applied in April 22 and included Statement of information and Articles of Incorporation at time of application. Haven’t heard anything yet.

To be clear brother, my boss' application went through the initial waiting period, which was 8 months before interview, this is the period where IA sort things out and assigns it to whoever deputy it is supposed to go; after interview though was when things got expedited for him. Livescan for all 3 was 14 days, submission of training docs was 10 days and call to pick up thereafter was 10 days if i remembered correctly. But... he missed the call and was able to pick up his permit a month after the initail call and after I emailed the IA regarding his circumstance. All these delays and he still came out one full month before me; it would have been 2 months had he not missed his call. This was before Bruen btw so applicants then are more or less 6k, applicants now are over 100, so expnentially, the initial wait time for sorting out stuff by the IA would probably be longer.

Great timing! Congratulations! I'm at the end of week 7 waiting for the call. Amazing what we have to go through in LA county to get a permit. Hopefully I will get that call soon! Enjoy your camping trip!

Had my interview this morning. At this point I think the process is pretty over-explained, so I won’t bother other than to say I feel like it went very well!

It just dawned on me however that my interviewing deputy may have forgotten to have me sign and date the relevant pages on my application, and that I definitely forgot to ask about that. Anyone else recently interview and not go back to sign and date at the time of interview?

Nice bro!, I have my interview tomorrow ill try to make sure to sign the app so I don't have to go back or experience any delays. Good info 👍

So I just had mine on Oct 31st. Here is a summary: (Los Angeles) - 1 Glock

I submitted my application (mailed it in) on July 26th and got a call from the receptionist to schedule my interview on Oct 15th. She was nice but gave me the wrong info.

-She told me I need to bring 3 copies of the applications (a heck of a lot of paper). This was not true, only needed one (still brought 3).

-The location of the Police Academy was wrong, but I called the number she provided me an officer let me know where to go (ironically he was my interviewer)

- Since I submitted it in July, they updated their applications for Aug, so I had to bring a new Aug application and a new check for $58 (the $30 I sent in July will not be cashed in). I didn't have a check on hand, but went to a USPS store after the interview, got a money order check, and brought it back.

- The interview was really chill, just asking the same questions in the applications, with yes and no answers.

IMPORTANT: Because of a June 2022 supreme court ruling in New York, the LAPD no longer requires you to explain why you need a CCW. I had my reason why I needed one, and brought documents to show proof- but the question never came up (never had to provide any of my documents)

It was just the applications questions and then my officer gave me a forum that I needed to provide for a live scan (they didn't have one on-site)

Drove home, and maybe 2 hours later found a live scan company in a Korean gift shop and got it done. Paid around $124.

*Probable Cause for a CCW is no longer required to ask for the Los Angeles county. You just need to be a good moral character.

Anyway, the live scan is almost done (CA, FBI finished) I'm just waiting on the "Firearm" scan (how long does that take for one gun)

Hope this helps those in Los Angeles. I've heard this county is one of the toughest and longest ones in CA. I was expecting a call in Aug 2023, but man that first phone call was out of the blue.

Has anyone else had a similar experience in LA CCW processes or did I just get lucky so far?

Your timeline gives me hope. I applied only 3 days after you, but walked it in to local station.

I guess I should start picking up SPAM LIKELY calls?

Would you mind clarifying which department you applied through, LAPD or LASD? Sounds like you applied through LAPD, however they only began accepting applications about a month ago.

If it's LAPD, any hope I went to bed with will be shattered first thing in the morning!

[fishingshooter]

Sounds like LAPD to me.
