Los Angeles

[9Cal_OC]

Does anyone know if having a couple of speeding tickets in the last couple of years hurt your chances and a DUI 15 years ago.

I live in Hollywood and I think I have to go to the WeHo Sherrif to apply.

Thank you all

Hollywood (majority of it) is part of the city of Los Angeles so you might have to apply to LAPD.

I can say that in other counties the speeding tickets/DUI will not play in favor of establishing a "good moral character". Will you be automatically denied just because of that? Probably not and depends on the approval criteria of your IA/sheriff.

Would it be the same paperwork?

Received my call today. They will call next week to schedule in-person interview. Fingers crossed! Thanks paladin for everything!

I applied for LAPD years ago...but got picked up by another agency...from what I've heard....its a solid dept...recently they got screwed with the riots and were not paid...they were able to "comp" their hours worked... but did not get paid as overtime.

Cool! My feeling is that if you pass the initial GC screening you're going to get it unless there's some other serious problem in the app or interview. (If there are serious problems in your app, you shouldn't apply, obviously.)

how many guns per ccw

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??

in CA and LA County specifically, you're allowed to list up to 3 guns.

These is a list of the LAPD that agree with LASD to issue CCW, correct? If my local LAPD is not in this list, then I, probably, will get deny CCW application, correct?

those are not LAPD.

I couldn't find that thread. Paladin, please direct me there. My GC is simply personal protection, which I believe should be sufficient without further explanation. I'm uncertain, however, so please provide link location. And thank you, sir!

FYI the sheriff has said mere “self defense” or “personal protection” is an insufficient GC.

Read ALL my posts in my CoCoCo Advice thread to understand more:

For the rest: I have good news I can’t share yet and hope to have even more before October 1st. I know that’s a tease, but at this early in the reform process I just don’t want to risk applicants and yet still want to let you guys know applicants are moving forward.

I read the information in the link, and thank you for posting it. I do have several of the attributes that are favorable and I might be able to make a better case in that regard. When I do put in the paperwork, I'll post what occurs.

No one knows the precise contours of the policy right now. It may be in flux and there may be different individuals there interpreting it in different ways and we don't have many results to look at so far.

But whatever it is...

You're going to have to clearly describe a very solid reason that's specific to you and real. The big recent shift seems to be that, whereas before, the only reasons good enough were "I'm a very VIP" or "I'm receiving these very credible documented death threats", now they are accepting good cause that's related to a specific, documented situation, without the need for a specific, documented threat.

I hope that makes sense.

But it does mean, you need to very clearly describe why your specific situation has this high level of danger. And it needs to be something more serious and specific than "I sometimes have to go into remote areas for my business" or some variation of that, which works in many counties, but isn't very persuasive or specific to you. And it needs to be documented somehow.

I don't think anyone really knows exactly how permissive the policy is at this point but you'll need to make a strong, documented, specific case.

Thank you for your input. I'm aware that the situation isn't well-defined at present, and am going to keep an eye on this as it evolves before submitting my application.

I never thought I’d see the day but ... today I’m happy to announce the first CGNer to pass GC and interview with LASD!!!



(And that’s all I’ll say at this point.)

For the rest: I have good news I can’t share yet ....

2!



ETA: to put it more plainly, lightning has struck again: another applicant passed interview/GC and was told to proceed with LiveScan/background check. After that comes training. And after that comes ...

(And that’s all I’ll say at this point.)
