Hey friends,

Young OC resident here (26). Went to the crossroads gun show today and there was a booth for CCW training. The gent behind the counter seemed 100% confident that he could get anyone a permit assuming they can pass a background check and shoot well.

My question really lies with the good cause statement. I work from home and sometimes visit clients (doctors) in person to close deals (I’m in sales for marketing). They’re mostly in Orange County and LA county. Also a pretty involved member of a church of 600+ people and on our church security team. My question is if I’ve got anything here that would work for good cause. If I cite my employer, will I need letters or approvals from my boss? I’m well aware that I need to prove threat of grave injury or death. Just wondering if OCSD has denied someone like me who has a normal life and job, but at the same time doesn’t want to become a victim to violent crime.

General consensus right now is that if you can articulate why you are at risk of being a victim of violent crime, and if you can produce documentation supporting that risk, you're more or less good to go.

Without giving enough info to dox myself--my GC statement was that I engage in a certain hobby that involves taking expensive equipment to fairly remote areas. And I produced news articles showing people who engage in the same hobby, who were followed by bad guys and attacked/robbed for that expensive hobby equipment. And then I produced receipts for that hobby, as well as a couple photos of myself engaging in said hobby. The GC statement was approved. Be creative. Think of it like a writing assignment from school--you're just trying to assert a point about why you're at risk for violent crime, and then provide evidence for why your assertion is true.

Your church security team is unarmed? Shouldn't they be armed? Seems like a good enough reason to me.

Your church security team is unarmed? [...]

Sometime they are, sometimes no. We meet sometimes at a school, other times on private property. [...]

There are at least a couple of other church security threads: this one and this other one.

CCW Renewal Orange County misdemeanor info.

My renewal is due. I have all the necessary paperwork and statement prepared. This is my second renewal.

The last time I renewed I got a call from a sheriff asking why I didn't put down a misdemeanor I got decades ago. I did put this information down on the original application, but I don't remember there being a space where they asked for it on the Renewal Application. I would have certainly filled it out if it were there. So, I'm renewing again, and I went to filling out the renewal form, and didn't notice where they asked for previous misdemeanors on this current form either. I surely don't want a sheriff calling me again, like I blatantly left it out. I just wouldn't do that. Maybe I'll just put on a piece of paper and enter it in with my other supporting docs? Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for your input.

Section 2, Q9 on the Permitium app.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense (civilian or military) in the U.S. or any other country? If yes, please explain including the date, agency, charges and disposition.

Have you withheld any fact that might affect the decision to approve this license?

FAQ:

10. I made a mistake on my application. How do I fix it?

Once you save your application it is protected and cannot be updated or modified. Think of it as a document written in ink. Please make sure numbers and names are typed correctly. If you do submit the form with an error, you may place your corrections on a separate piece of paper and then scan/upload the document to your CCW file.

FAQ:

Thank you for your response, but isnt the Permitium application the original application and not the Renewal app? Thanks.

Was there a hang up somewhere? I got mine in October last year and it took 4 days.

I'm renewing right now and just hit 1 month. Online site still says assigning to processor.

I'm at 7 weeks on my renewal. Got a request for additional documents on the 6th, which I immediately provided.

Not a peep since.
