They aren't supposed to be denying for lack of Good Cause after being told to proceed to training and/or live-scan. That's part of the whole point of the restructuring of the Penal Code a few years back...

when you make contact with LE, do you need to disclosure that you carry or not carry a firearm ?

Yes. You also need to inform the CCW unit if you have any contact with LE.

[CCW LA County hopefull]

Sorry to hear your news. If I were you (or anybody who has been denied for GC), I would immediately get a second application all ready to mail or hand deliver to the CCW unit the day after SCOTUS issues their decision in BRUEN. I think it is highly likely that the GC requirement will be struck down. You want to get in the head of the line when the giant rush starts.

You would hope that they would go back and look at the denials again after SCOTUS issues a positive decision, but yep dont count on them doing that and send in the second application. Still waiting for the first call Thanks again Major! for your help

You are very welcome. I do what I can to help out in the CCW forums for LA, OC, SD and Riverside as my way of giving back to the community. I have good reasons to believe that he will not proactively go back and review applications he has already denied. I'd be happy to share those reasons privately in PM if anybody is interested.

The interviewing deputy told me that they don't accept recreational good causes anymore (this was early February). I had Recreational/Hobby and Work related GC in my application and she crossed out the recreational and proceeded with the work related GC. So the chance of getting approved for recreation is close to zero unless you can think of something better.

also i carry 50K camera with me all the time and we live in a very bad hood. Meth hotel right next to us and a half house on the back alley where 20-30 homeless ppl fly.
Plus my wife is the only eyewitness to manslaughter that happened a few months ago.Some homeless guy knocked out a woman that used to help them and the woman died the very next day. I guess i have enough reason to carry? What do you guys think?

If you are new to the forum, a few things.

1. I have a standing offer to help people with their good cause statements. Take your best shot and send it to me in P.M.

2. The best information we have at this point is that you will not get issued for the risks of carrying 50K in camera equipment if you carry it for a recreational purpose but you can if you make money from it (even if it is not your primary job) because then it qualifies as work related, even though the actual risk you face is exactly the same. The potential assailant has no idea if somebody writes you a check after you take photos. If this is a money-making endeavor, stress that.

3. You almost certainly will not be issued a CCW permit to protect another competent adult. In your situation, your wife will need to apply for her own permit.

[Immortal547]

The requirement to inform the officer contacting you is set by the issuing agency. For instance, my San Diego permit comes with no such restrictions.

Those of you with L.A permits, is there any such requirement written on your permit or on the documents that came with it?

I see that the LASO website terms and conditions page cites only "• failure to show license to any peace officer upon demand" not an affirmative duty for you to inform them.

That is what I was told by the deputy when I picked up my license. She said that to me without me asking.

She said any LE so I would say yes. All you have to do is send them an email detailing the interaction and they will contact you if they need more information.

Hey all. First post here and trying to wrap my head around everything related to CCW in LA County and what not.

I submitted my application some time last summer. GC was that I travel equipment provided by my employer that contains sensitive data critical to the company.

I got my interview mid December and Livescan shortly thereafter.

Waited a few months then got an email yesterday to get the training and submit the certificate.

Just so I can make sure I understand the process properly, once I do all of that then it is playing the waiting game again then at some point I go get the permit or are there still decisions beyond my control at play and I could still get denied?

I tried looking around here first but it's kind of hard to follow for someone new to the situation.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but there have been so many different scenarios discussed that it gets a little confusing.

That is what I was told by the deputy when I picked up my license. She said that to me without me asking.

That's very interesting. Is it in writing on your permit or your paperwork? It's hard to imagine that's its official policy that they depend on strictly verbal conversation in order to communicate. I wonder if is a case of the various deputies not being on the same page or not being on the same page with the Sheriff.

Can anybody else confirm whether or not they were informed of this requirement and if so, how?

It is still possible to get denied at this point, it has happened but it unlikely. If your background is clean and stays clean, you should be OK, but policy can change at any time.

Major,
I was told by the deputy the same thing and it was in the pick up letter as well
