People mention hiking but I doubt hiking once a year is sufficient enough to get a ccw. How often would you have to go hiking in order to qualify for a ccw? Once a month? Twice a month?

Hi guys I was curious if anyone knew how long it took add a gun to your permit

11/2 - LiveScan (DOJ, FBI, Firearms) done. DOJ and FBI portions completed same day.
11/13-14 - CCW Class and Qual Shoot through Artemis
11/17 - Firearm portion of LiveScan completed

How do you check on the status of your LiveScan? Just submitted mine recently!

Got this from CCW unit

I called a few weeks after receiving this email and the the person I was speaking with asked me to read her the e-mail. When I did she said, "That's odd, we don't send reminders" Anybody else get one of these?

CCW Timeline

Thank you to everyone that has posted advice. This thread helped me get through the process so I will share my timeline and advice for others searching as well.

7/7 - Initial CCW application, interview scheduled for 11/18.
11/2 - Fee refunded / Asked for additional documentation including selfie, livescan, 2 recent utility bills, written log of places traveled specific to hiking/fishing, 1 news article depicting concerns while hiking/fishing.
11/2 - LiveScan (DOJ, FBI, Firearms) done. DOJ and FBI portions completed same day.
11/13-14 - CCW Class and Qual Shoot through Artemis
11/17 - Firearm portion of LiveScan completed
11/18 - Interview. Lasted 15 minutes. Asked to redo travel log and submit CCW class certification.
11/20 - Approval email
11/22 - CCW unit emailed me, asking to call to make payment
11/23 - CCW put in mail
11/26 - CCW arrives in my hands. If not for Thanksgiving holiday, may have arrived a day sooner.

Definitely recommend getting LiveScan started as soon as you're asked since the Firearms portion takes the longest to clear. As someone previously stated, I also was not aware that the liveScan form is included as the first page of the application packet. I got the form off the sheriff's website but it comes pre-filled in the application packet. At no point did I reach out to the CCW unit regarding my status throughout the process, I was just patient and waited to hear from them. I probably would have been fine submitting my class certification before the interview but I decided to wait until I was asked for it. I was asked to redo my travel log to reflect my hiking and fishing in the past 6 months to 1 year. Hope this helps someone out there.

I think it depends.

If your employment is part of your GC, then it could be material and when you renew, it would have to be disclosed and the GC possibly modified as needed.

For example, if you work as a pharmacist and move from one retail pharmacy to another, quite possibly the GC would not need to be changed. You would be submitting a paystub and the change would be communicated through that and through the relevant fields on the application. Not a material change.

On the other hand, supposed you owned a business and had incorporated that into your GC, and you maybe sold the business or shut it down, and got a different job, then presumably that could be material and, again, when you renew, you would modify the GC statement as needed.

But if your work is not part of your GC, then when you renew, the change will be captured by the relevant fields in the application form.

My employer / job is listed on my CCW. If this changes and I get a new job, do I have to inform the CCW unit?

No. Carry on as you were.

Perhaps this question was already asked, if so please point me in the right direction. I'm in the process of applying for the CCW in Orange County. What are the elements of a good "good cause" statement?

Thanks.

It should be fine to do the livescan and training before the interview date, correct? And as for the livescan, do I just follow the instructions on their website (print out the form and go to any of the authorized livescan places)? Thanks!

You can do the livescan. I'm just a moron and didn't realize the livescan request form is literally the first page of the packet you print out at the end of your application. I had to ask where to get the form when they asked (it's on their site). The trainer I use requests you have approval before taking the class and qualifying.

Practically though, I didn't want to spend any money until I heard something back, in case my application was rejected outright.

w/o 10/03 first update - requested livescan and additional documentation.
