I should have been more specific. I'm wondering if there are any requirements as far as handloads or factory loads etc. I know of some folks that have difficulty firing a lot of factory standard velocity rounds from pocket pistols. They start to flinch after a while and their accuracy deteriorates rapidly. Aside from saying they should practice with what they will carry they are concerned with getting through the training/qualification process.

Our ammo was not inspected.
If it runs in your gun, you are good to go.

The requirement at FTA at least is that your firearm does not malfunction more than 2 times. A 3rd malfunction results in disqualification of that firearm for inclusion on your license. So it's a good idea to use good quality ammo that you know works flawlessly in your firearm.

Don't forget you could have a malfunction for other reasons other than bad ammo such as limp wristing, failing to seat a magazine all the way, etc. So you might want to stack the deck in your favor by using quality ammo.

The guy at Evans range told me if I had any malfunction at all in the 72 rounds, he would have to disqualify the firearm. Just sayin...

Just got home from picking up my CCW Permit.
Inspecting the card, and last pistol manufacturer was wrong.
Should be a Ruger LC9 and they made it Glock LC9. i just emailed Melissa. She will mail me a new one with a return envelope for the mistake card.

Please inspect everything before you leave OCSD upon pick up of your CCW!

KOOL - Sounds like you can carry ANY Glock you want now...

I witnessed this during qualification at FTA. One student had a small .380 that had 3 malfunctions and he was removed from the line immediately on the third failure.

I similarly witnessed a failure to keep more than 72 of 75 qualifying rounds on the silhouette. Again, immediately disqualified.

Don't let qualification be the first time you fire your new CCW gun. I would run at least a few hundred flawless rounds prior to qualification. Ensure you can easily drop magazines and lock the slide back without transferring the firearm from your shooting hand. You will work harder than your peers during qualification if you don't have at least 3 magazines / speed loaders during the 200 round primary weapon qualification. 10 round mags also help. Be sure to not bring IWB holsters, even if that's what you will actually carry, due to safety.

Wife and I have our interviews set for 17DEC -

Im at 0800 - Shes at 0900hrs...

Wow 200 rounds to qualify? I think it's 72 per handgun with Greg Block. Definitely should make sure your handgun is reliable and you are proficient with it prior to taking the class for your own safety as well as the general public

Cool...my guess is you guys will get your dates bumped up.

how long does it take to get through the application process and how much does it cost?

It could easily take 90days and more.

The cost with training and ammo about $550 - $600 for the initial permit.
It is good for 2 years.

Renewals are significantly cheaper. I think those are $77.

I did my interview this morning. The only thing that seemed a bit out of the ordinary to me was some of the questions they asked. These questions where not listed on the original application. ( maybe it normal but this is my first time) For example they wanted to know if they were any tickets even if you went to traffic school or court and they were dropped. There is also a question asking if you have ever been convicted of a crime. They went beyond that and asked if you ever used drugs, if you have every been charged with anything even if charges were dropped or dismissed. They were very friendly , professional and informative.

What do you think happened in your case? I thought everybody was getting their wait time shortened. Are others moving backwards also?

[randian]

I may be moving to Orange County for a job. Is there a minimum residency time required to apply? Are they still taking a year+ to get around to issuing permits? Also, what are the political winds like? Is OC likely to rescind its currently permissive (to the extent that its rather ridiculous set of requirements, when compared to neighboring states, can be said to be permissive) issuing regime if/when a new sheriff takes the helm? If I recall correctly San Diego and Riverside counties did a big about-face when that happened.
