Well I'll be mailing my application today. I'll let you all know what happens.

Thank you Paladin for your feedback on my good cause.

Wooohooo! Good luck, looking forward to hearing about the process/outcome. I’m still just trying to figure out what to report when it comes to traffic violations in the past five years, then I’ll be in the same boat.

Wish you the best!

Thanks.

Thanks, once I hear something I'll report back. Luckily I haven't had a ticket since about 2000.

How long after you submitted the application did they call you?

How long after they cashed your check did they call you?

I guess I had better apply to my local PD now. I will almost definitely be denied, then can apply to LASD for a CCW.

Is there any way to look up how many CCWs a city (in LA County) police department has issued in the last 5-10 years?

How long after they cashed your check did they call you?

Around 4 weeks.

Thanks. They cashed my check, so I'm waiting to see what happens. Its been about 2-3 weeks since it has been cashed.

You can use a Public Records Act (PRA) request for a copy of any stats they make re. CCWs. Note you cannot ask them to do something new for you, some stat that they don't create for their own use. Also, there's a fee and charge per page of whatever you request.

A CGNer PMed me to share this with everyone else.

It took them just over a month from submission to phone call to schedule interview.

The caller seemed to focus on whether the registered handgun to be carried is truly concealable.

MY TAKE:

I think, like many of us, this CGNer never thought they'd have a chance for a CA CCW and planned on getting a smaller, more concealable handgun if things changed. They weren't expecting a CV19 panic causing gun shortages, followed by a BLM riots/looting causing an even greater gun buying panic right before applying. I suggested sorting out concealed carry belt/holster rig now for current handgun at home -- standing before a mirror, sitting down/standing up from a chair, drawing while seated, walking, jogging, sprinting (such as you can inside your home or outside w/a Ring's BlueGun simulator), etc. Lesson: if you plan on applying now, try to get the handgun (and carry rig) you want to carry now.

Also, it is best to find out the type of ammo your IA carries for your caliber and use that. It heads off another issue with your IA and/or during a trial/lawsuit after a shooting.

Since this is a time of guns & ammo shortages, best to start this process (and make sure your gun is registered), now rather than later.

Paladin,

Could you ask this person more details about the process including what the in-person interview was like and if they inspected the guns or not? Also, if he was approved and how long the permit is valid for? Even if this person doesn't reply on their own and use you as a proxy, we all really need more information from someone if they have gone through it. Thanks

They said they'd update me to update others as they continue to go through the process.

I had CCWs in Massachusetts and Virginia, and there was never any questioning regarding which handguns I was planning to carry. So then, if you get a CCW here, it's specific to a certain gun??

Yes, basically, you qualify with the pistols/revolvers that you want to carry.
They are listed on your permit and you can only carry the ones that are on your permit.
Also, some IAs have limits on how many you can put on your permit. For example, San Diego Sheriff allows three previously. I heard they are allowing 5 recently.
