I don't think dropping off is the issue. As you can see the timeline in my signature, I dropped off 3/28, was called for interview 12/28 and interviewed 1/4. So I dropped off ~20 days after Lord Vader and had my interview 6 days after.

That said, there definitely is an issue that a March application hasn't been called yet. Not to assume or say anything negative about the poster who hasn't been called, but does everyone get an interview, or do they deny some people before the interview stage?

You should definitely call tomorrow morning after 8am. Everyone pre bruen is getting interviews around 9 months

I emailed them Feb 6 asking about the status. I was emailed back in 15 min, stating that the application was received and I would be notified once my file was assigned to someone. Feb. 28th I got the interview call. Try emailing them about the status and maybe them looking for your file helps it move along?

I emailed them a week or so ago (before I made my last post) just to make sure my app wasn't lost or something. They confirmed that my application had been received and I got the same "you will be contacted once your application has been assigned to someone" response and they reiterated to me apps are "reviewed in the order they're received."

Got my docs received email 12/16. I applied in person at hall of justice 12/01/21

Don't hold your breath.

I dropped mine off in March '22, check was cashed within a week and I still haven't heard a peep from them. Two more weeks and it'll have been a full year since I submit my app. Despite them saying they're handling them "in the order received" that is clearly not happening. I do wonder if dropping off at my local Sheriff station delayed my app getting to the main CCW office compared to mailing it in directly. According to the CCW timeline google sheet most of the others who submit around the same time as me were contacted back in Dec.

It seems to be fairly random and multiple months differences in people's timelines so it doesn't seem to be something we an predict with any real accuracy.

I'm in a similar boat as you. Mailed my application in May 2022 and have yet to receive any notification.

Called recently, and they said they're still processing May/June 2022 right now so if I were you, I'd call it to see whats up with your application.

Has anyone figured out what the firearm portion of the Livescan is? I cant find any information about it. Your help would be much appreciated.

I looked it up and someone on Cal Guns and reddit said its just a deeper look into your records to see if you're allowed to own firearms. It's an actual person reviewing your records.

It's funny how they take up resources and do that but in actuality you need to own a gun to apply for a CCW...

You're right. You think they would go out of their way before you actually purchase the gun. It's a little late to realize that you shouldn't own guns since you already own guns... lol.

Per my post above, I had already emailed them before I posted. They did not offer any detail, confirmed they had received my app and that they’d contact me once it was assigned to someone and that they were assigned “in order received”.

I was hoping based on my timeline to get this done within a year but from the start (April) to waiting for the pickup call doesn't seem like I'll get it done. Probably miss it by 1 month or so. Not bad for lasd standards

crossing 6 weeks since confirmation of training received... missed a few blocked calls, any of you fine folks got the call recently ?

CalGunner aguynamedbryan created a spreadsheet, and a good one, that a good number of people have filled out that shows application date and where they are in the process. Maybe be helpful for you to see how long you can expect to wait from your current status. In general, from the data on the spreadsheet, processing times are getting faster.

Consider adding your info to the spreadsheet as well to help others out.

So I got a call from LASD today saying that I need to do a live scan first, then I will be assigned to an investigator. Is this normal? I thought livescans are done after the interview.

Well there are 2 ways to look at this

1) you were given wrong information as livescan do expire just like training certs do

2) they are finally getting a good flow and pretty much know they will process your app before livescan expires.

Not sure which one it is sorry

I'm in week 9. Its easily a 10-12 week wait. Your only halfway.

Hey guys. Kostas Moros here from Michel & Associates. Just got a call from a NYT reporter (based in Georgia) about La Verne's high fees, and LA Sheriff's high wait times also came up. He is interested in a possible story on this topic, and wants to speak with someone who has been waiting over six months for a permit. In his words: "I could envision starting out a story with such a person -- describing their frustration, their wait, etc. It's just a radically different situation than the one we have over here in Georgia & elsewhere."

If anyone is comfortable speaking with him, go ahead and email me at kmoros@michellawyers.com.

I totally get if nobody is interested in talking to reporters, but I told him I'd at least pass the message along. I think more attention on this issue would be great. He didn't strike me as wanting to write a hit piece, as he kept mentioning how what these cities/counties were doing seems to be in defiance of Bruen.
