Applied for my CCW today, now to figure out what Handgun will fit my needs. Interview is in Jan 2017

For my just cause reason: I am a freelance photographer who carries an average of $3,000+ worth of gear with me, often times I am alone, and my shoots mainly take place at night in run down/secluded locations.. Obviously I would elongate the reasoning.

Would that be sufficient?

Mine was similar and worked ok in San Bernardino SO. I also added personal & family protection at the end. Good luck.

Traning cert. for all 3 guns listed?

Hello my fellow Calgunners,

I've searched this question all over google and can't find exactly what I'm looking for so I will ask here.

I want to list 3 guns in my ccw application, do I have to take a training course for each individual firearm? Or is it one course with one gun, but 3 inspections?


Thanks

One course, but you qualify up to 3 firearms, unless your IA allows more than 3.
OCSD only allows 3 firearms.

In this one course do I have to shoot all 3 of the firearms listed? I only ask because of the cost of ammo and I lack holsters for 2 of them.

Depends on your trainer.
Most have holsters available and the 2nd and 3rd firearm require less ammo than the first.
I suspect you will get some recommendations shortly.

Yes, you have to fire a total of 72 rounds from each qualifying firearm (24 rds each from 3 Yds, 5 yds, and 7 yds). No need for holsters. So if you're listing 3 guns, take 216 rds of Ammo with you.

Thank you gentlemen.

I took my CCW course with my first firearm...had to use an OWB holster with this firearm during the course.
Towards the end of the course, we could qualify a 2nd or 3rd firearm with no need for holsters.

I brought about 300 rounds (100 rounds per firearm), although I only shot 72 each from the 2nd and 3rd firearm.

If you want, you can run the course with just 1 firearm, and then add a 2nd or 3rd firearm later...(of course, with an additional fee)

Mine took about a month..

[blvcksails]

That's up to your interviewing officer.

True.

FIFY

Haha. If funds allow I will definitely consider adding two more.

Mine was similar and worked ok in San Bernardino SO. I also added personal & family protection at the end. Good luck.

I plan on doing that as well. Thanks!

Go find the GCS thread - there is more help there.
Your good cause needs to focus on the threat/fear of grave bodily injury or death - not protecting property. I know this gets debated to death, and when they were taking pretty much just self defense as good cause, some were just saying they had a fancy car or some such and declaring that was valid good cause.

If your personal property, whatever it is, makes you a target, then that is relevant. For example, I had originally said my garage is full of equipment and recreational toys, and it's always open, which made me a target for bad guys/crime. It was pointed out that I don't need a carry permit to defend my home, and secondly you can't shoot somebody for stealing your 'stuff'.

Come visit us over on the other thread.

Oh, and you don't need three weapons, you can just license one. But the statute allows up to three so if you're so inclined you can have them put on.

One course - you'll be qualifying with your 3 weapons.

You'll want to have at least 75 rounds for each for your range qualification segment. Surely your trainer will advise you what they require.

I did not have any 'inspections'. Both of my weapons were purchased under SSE. They don't care how you bought them, only that you legally own them. OCSD never asked to see my firearms.

Just curious how quickly amendments are processing...

I will need to add/delete some of the pistols listed on my permit.

Any feedback on how long this is taking?

I know the process:

http://ocsd.org/about/info/services/ccw/license_amendments

Just curious how quickly amendments are processing given the demand and any internal changes ...

Also what is the preferred method, mail or appointment?
