Has anyone in riverside had a residence check where a deputy or someone from the dept comes and knocks on yours or your neighbors door?

Residence checks are not done in Riverside.

I have nothing to worry about in this regard. I'm just curious as I don't hear it coming up here like in other counties. I'm 6mo to the day on my livescan and just wondering since nobody has been by my house or my neighbors that I'm aware of.

I wish I could recall the circumstances, but during my interview, I made some reference to the Cal Guns forums and Yezzo made a comment to the effect that people on those forums "will tell you that you don't have to answer certain questions on the application, and that's true...but it means it will take longer and we're going to go talk to your neighbors" (HEAVILY paraphrased).

Don't know for certain, but it sounds like if you refuse to answer certain questions or there are flags raised by your application, neighbor interviews are possible, but not the norm.

I'm in pergatory (fingerprinted, waiting livescan results to be returned) and nobody has knocked on my neighbor's doors.

You were detained? At Best Buy? Unless you were taken to the police station and booked, there is no record.

I wouldn't follow that advice. Just answer the questions honestly, they know people make mistakes, especially in their younger years, but lying on the application might set you back.

Hopefully the added staff will speed up the process for the folks in line!

I'm not suggesting he lie. Just that there will not be a record of the contact. For something that trivial, just mark yes, they will ask about it, and jot some notes, and move on. It shouldn't be anything to worry about.

My initial interview is coming up and I have a concern on one of the questionnaire from the application.

The question is;

"Have you ever been arrested, detained, or questioned by the police as an adult or juvenile?"

... the local PD showed up and I was detained for a about no more than an hour. My case has been closed and been sealed since then. My question here is that, do I have to fill out and say "Yes" on the application questionnaire and explain what happened then or mark "No" on the application?

Say "Yes", because it is the truth.

It's not about what you did back then; it's about what you've done since then.

"My case has been closed and sealed since then", means somewhere in the system there is a record.

The answer is "Yes".

Me and a buddy of mine went for our requal appointments with Yezzo this morning. Found out they moved to trailer #26 down the road a little bit. We both got scheduled for the class/qual on the 4th. He did say requals shoot first, so I hope that's true. Another friend told me there were 75 people in his class. Yezzo was as smooth and professional as always. Found out I was stationed with the new guy on the Connie way back when.

As i type this, i feel it's a dumb question and i already know the answer... But i figure someone here might have the answer rather than call the ccw unit and slow down their process.

For the 3 character reference letters, it says letters from family members are not acceptable. Am i to assume this means immediate family, or extended family? Would a letter from a brother-in-law, cousin, uncle, etc be acceptable?

Has anyone used a letter from an extended family member? Successfully or not?

Thanks

You answered your own question correctly.

I just set up my renewal... This time I reached out early since I know how swamped they are.

That's good because I started in May and still don't have mine.

Whoa... I expire July and have my appointment in April. This is my third renewal, but two years ago lapsed by about 1 month.

[emc2867]

Mine expires 3rd week of June and my appointment is 3rd week of March.....I will remain optimistic....

Regarding prior weapons experience. Is not having sufficient weapons experience grounds for denial? I ask because I have a date coming up and aside from the weapons quals in basic and frequenting the local gun range, I really do not have "formal" weapons training. Will that hinder me? And how should I word that in the section?

[emc2867]

Should not hinder you
