Since you travel a lot to Nevada I recommend you apply for the Florida CCW permit.. Florida covers Nevada as of 7/1/2022..

In the Nevada list I have non resident CCWs for:
1. Florida
2. Utah
3. Virginia
4. Arizona
5. Texas

I also have Nevada CCW so that qualifies me to CCW in Nevada.

NV CCW requires a training class in Nevada. If you don't want to go through that then a non resident permit listed 1-5 above will allow you to CCW in NV ... BUT laws may change so any permit listed above may some day NOT qualify you to CCW in Nevada, so that is why I just got a NV CCW (renewals training is only 1/2 day).

Of the 5 non resident CCWs listed the ones that require INK fingerprint cards and a physical passport photo; Virginia asks for 2 passport photos (at least for initial apps at the time I applied a while back) are:

1. Florida
3. Virginia

If you don't want to send in passport photos or ink fingerprints cards then...

2. Utah - no ink fingerprinting and you can electronically upload a passport sized photo

4. Arizona - no ink fingerprinting and no passport photo needed

5. Texas - no ink fingerprinting and no passport photo needed

But since taking the training in Vegas for NV CCW is just another excuse to go to Vegas every 5 years (that's how long the permit is good for), I just take the 1/2 day training and live fire and not have to worry about my other non resident CCWs not being valid in NV anymore.

The other non resident CCWs I have are:

Maine
New Hamshire
Connecticut


I used to have (but let expire since I need to physically travel to these states to apply, for training and/or for pick up and did not feel like making the trek anymore) CCWs for: Oregon, Idaho, Washington State, Minnesota. Except for Oregon these states are probably covered for CCW for me with one of my other non resident CCW permits.

Tomorrow 1/17 I pick up my LAPD CCW permit.

Is there any specific reason for picking Florida over Arizona ccw? I was looking at both reciprocity map and they are basically the same.. unless I missed something?

Doesn't AZ require two ink fingerprint cards to be sent to them

I'm surprised I didn't receive a call to pickup tomorrow as well. I submitted my training docs on 1/6, receipt acknowledged 1/9.

Since they're only doing pickups twice a month, this means I'll likely have to wait another 2 weeks.

As in reciprocity.... Arizona does not cover Florida....BUT Florida covers Arizona, so you gain a state ....also Florida covers Nevada...that's why I have all three..

6 month application submittal anniversary.

[youdontkillmoney]

Doesn't AZ require two ink fingerprint cards to be sent to them

I should have clarified, mine are renewals so none needed after initial app

[142A]

Yeah, I know it.

It took 8 months for my interview, then 6 months for complete training notice, then ten weeks for pickup call. It takes a while, nothing you can do about it, patience is required.

LAPD CCW PICK UP RESCHEDULE

LAPD Called me at 8AM and advised my pick up will still be today but between 5pm-7pm at LAPD's downtown office. It was mentioned something about logistical issues prompting this last minute change.

[stag6.8]

Training email today as well

Anyone know of a provider that I could get my training done with on short notice (read: this Monday)?

Congratulations on getting on your call to training ... A long time coming...did you get your training done and sent in yet?

[D_K]

Boys and girls happy to say I just received my proceed to training email. Updated timeline below

[mit31]

I'm 2 weeks ahead of you... it seems like it was taking upwards of 8 weeks to get the call to schedule pickup from training received at the end of 2022. Hopefully things will pick up a bit.

For all who’s wondering. I applied through the sheriffs office back in June of 2022. Have not heard a word yet. I called LAPD yesterday morning and left a voicemail for a call back regarding an interview . I received a call back today from a detective . She informed me that there is a waiting list of over 1500 people and they are currently interviewing people from the 500 range . Said it would be around 7-10 months for a call back.

The question now is do you go quicker because of your proceed to training email being much earlier than mine or do they go off of when the training certificate was provided to them?

[mit31]

The short answer is I don't know.

I WAS told after my interview last May that doing livescan early would not help speed things up as they process in order of interview dates and not first received first processed. If we follow that logic I would get prioritized over a ton of people since it took me forever to get my training done.

At the same time, I would assume it would be way too much work for them to do anything but prioritize them as they are received.

So, shrug.
