I’m looking at the CCW process for the first time as an OC resident.

Can someone point me in the right direction for how much I can expect to pay as a first time applicant and when those payments are due?

I see first time applicants need to pay $169 to the department. Is that right way at the onset or at the end of the process?

I know I will also need to pay for training. What is the average cost there? And do I take the training course during my application process or beforehand?

Any other major costs I’m missing? From what I can gather, I’m guessing it’ll be around $400-500 total, but need to know when I should expect to pay all that throughout the 3-6 month process.

Thanks!

OCSD has a schedule of fees posted.

You'll have to pay for a background check, a.k.a. LiveScan, which will include a rolling fee (at least $25) plus the LiveScan fee ($93).

Training plus ammo (72 rounds for the first gun on your permit, 20 rounds for each additional gun) starts at $220 at Artemis, and if you travel, you might consider also paying an additional fee for AZ/UT and possibly FL.

Many training vendors can do multi-state for you; Artemis charges $100 for that service, and you walk out the door with everything ready to drop in the mail (fingerprint cards, photos).

All-in-all, you're probably looking at $600-$700 minimum, to get rolling, depending on what you have and what you need.

Regarding the timing, the training certificate is good for six months, so it may be wise to apply first, and then get trained when OCSD says to do that, or (my preference) a month or so after submitting, but I am not watching the timelines in this thread very carefully, so do your own due diligence to inform that decision.

If its anything like renewal, you pay the application fee when its submitted.
So for you $169.00 just to get going.

It really is a rip off. But I do it every 2 years.
2 yr. Renewal is less. $83.65 to re-apply. 4 hr training, guessing around $80.00
And you get to waist a bunch of ammo. Going to 3 guns from 5 this time.
And 3/4 tank of gas.

Can I add more firearm between submitting the application and the interview/training?

Yes

Breaking: AG Bonta just issued "effective immediately that issuing authorities should no longer require proof of good cause for the issuance of a public-carry license".

Also I found a couple of appointment openings for October 2022

Looks like it is pay as you go. I submitted a renewal app. yesterday. Paid at the end / per instructions on the last page. Then was refunded this morning.
It mentions that you do not pay on the 1st pg. or 2 until approved in person. Then is set up for payment at the end in order to submit the application?
May have the same in the past? don't remember..

"Your application is in process, but we have refunded the online payment that was submitted with your CCW application.
Our system is not set up to process the payment once it is received on our end. The refund should show credited to your account in the next 5 to 7 business days.

Your application will continue through the process and you will be sent notification of the payment procedure once a decision is granted on your application.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact your assigned processor or ccwpermits@ocsheriff.gov


Thank you for your understanding,"

No, I'll continue to express myself and enjoy my First and Second Amendment rights. How about you run for dog catcher and you can continue to bow and curtsy for your constitutional rights like a good little subject?

Barnes has had sixteen months to plan for this decision (SCOTUS granted cert in April of 2021), and he could have very easily have released an appropriate comment that showed a tone of respect and deference for and intent to comply with the nation's highest court (as Riverside and San Bernardino Sheriffs did on the same day as the opinion was published).

"Rest assured, the OCSD CCW Unit will fully comply with the recent Supreme Court decision with all deliberate speed."

But instead, Barnes got all passive aggressive. And people wonder why there is so much contempt for law enforcement these days, when LE agencies act like maybe they might deign to recognize the Supreme Court if and when they get around to it.

I wonder how we'd be treated by OCSD CCW Unit if we waited to comply with new gun case law if and when our lawyers decided how it applied to us. "We'll get back to you on those 17 round magazines, Sheriff. Don't call us, we'll call you."

Police are like the Roman Centurions. They are held to a higher standard of legal compliance and behavior, and should set an example with words and actions that show reverence for the law. Tone matters. I don't care how scared Barnes is of Sacramento.

No more begging. WE DEMAND SHALL ISSUE NOW!

I'm in the same time bucket as you, got pushed up to August. I saw in the email that they are acknowledging the Supreme Court ruling but have still not updated the website to reflect no more 'good cause'.

Just completed mine and the soonest appointment I could get was October!

Does anyone know how long amendments to existing CCW permit usually take?

Does OC allow SSE P320/365?
