What they need to do is make the Permit valid for 5 years or more to reduce the administrative process.

The two years is set by the legislature. It's part of the Penal Code. But yes, a permit that is valid for longer would be nice.

You mean like, you are an 18yo with no criminal history, so here is your lifetime until revoked due to violent crime conviction CCW permit? Because that'd be, I don't know, the Constitutional version.

I went to pick up my CCW today and they are definitely busy! She said they recommend for renewal to start process about 4-5 month in advance. The CCW staff that helped me said initial interviews keep on coming and they are happy.

Congrats dude.

Did they say why? I wonder if new permits are leveling off.


.

No, not leveling off or not doing appointments. Moving forward in October and on its only from morning (Not sure of first appointments) to noon. I was just waiting for my interview and decided to chat with the cute girl behind the receptionist desk. She said the level of applicants is still coming in high demand and they are in the process of renewal periods for when the influx of applicants started. She said most of the investigators are only part time and they are reducing their staff by 1 and making the rest all part time.

That's what she told me.

Correct, they are busy as they were on day 1.

Man you are one lucky guy to only wait less than a month for your interview.

[ltzgolf]

Just went in for my initial interview and was very pleased with the whole process. Met with the investigator and was told to proceed with livescan and with training. Also told that once the Lieutenant receives both items I should be good to go.

10/16 request initial
1/12/16 initial postponed by me
5/4/16 livescan done early / 7/22/ 16 still in process
5/19/16 initial interview
5/20/16 residence check. I happen to just get home and having a beer when the sheriff showed up.
7/16/16 was asked for supporting docs to good cause
7/21/16 sent over supporting docs for good cause

Update

9/27/16 emailed OCSD CCW requesting livescan status. Told recieved last week and submitted for final approval.

@KRILLER134
I was extremely lucky. Right place, right time.

[Ou812]

My timeline:
1/4/16 request for interview
5/10/16 interview & LiveScan
8/10/16 training cert supplied
8/24/16 patiently waiting still

I also emailed OCSD today requesting an update on my application. Imagine my great pleasure to be told my DOJ came in last week and that my file was submitted for final approval.

I followed-up by asking if I could expect a pickup appointment in 4-6 weeks. They wouldn't commit to a timeline, but I am happy nonetheless. I'm hopeful it'll happen by mid Nov given a weeklong family trip.

Best wishes everyone.

Mods please remove the Fing pecker from the OC CCW screen. It is old and disgusting.

Where exactly are you seeing pictures?

I wonder if he is complaining about the "Thumbs Up" icon in the thread listing for the "Calguns Concealed Carry County Information Forum"...
