Has anyone meet the deputy that replaced Deputy Aguirre? If so, what are your feelings?

Seems like a great guy. Turns out we were stationed on the Connie together back in the day.

Firearms Training Associates is doing the renewal classes on Friday's now for $80 for 3 guns.

Talked to Deputy Yezzo...they are processing CCW renewals on Fridays, and they have the qual and class on Saturdays for $100....not sure how many guns...

They also moved into another building with more space.

Good to hear, thanks

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.

This is not necessarily true. A contact, let alone a detention may very well be documented. FI's (field interviews) are performed all the time and some departments, I don't know about RSO, have these input into a data base. For a detention to occur, the officer has a set standard by law that must be met. Has criminal activity occurred? Occurred is time bound, about to occur, is occurring, has occurred, and is the person being detained reasonably believed to be involved in the criminal activity? Those notes that the officer writes or the conversation that they had with the detained person absolutely may get entered into a data base for information gathering purposes to be easily accessed by other LEO to research criminal activity.

Being less than honest in this interview and getting caught will fail you on the second part of your requirement of whether or not you are of good moral character. Leave it out if you want/dare but you have to live with that. Or simply risk not getting your CCW. Once you get turned down you may find it hard to come back to be successful in your quest. One of the questions asked is if you have ever been denied a CCW. Explain that one to your interviewer.

How was the interview? If i can ask how focus are they on your good cause



Extremely focused. If all else is good...that is what makes or brakes you.

Ben Clark

Going to Ben Clark this Saturday for 1st time qualification. Any idea what is needed other than:

Each Firearm
1 box of ammo per firearm
Eye protection
Ear protection

Do we need to bring a holster for each as well? Do they have you draw from concealment?

Thanks for the help as I want to be prepared.

There is good info here. Pay particular attention to my post in this thread.

• First, don't come to the range qual with the price tag still on your gun. Meaning, take it to the range at least ONCE to make sure you know how it shoots. If you don't know the basics of firearm safety, Ben Clark is NOT the place you should do your qualification.
• The Deputies running the class are VERY pro-CCW, just don't go in there thinking you are Rambo. At the range, the other CCWers in the class are all very helpful. I loaned some stuff to another student, and others did the same.
• Yes, you need a holster. They say it has to have a strap or some type of retention on it (other than just being tight in the holster). They didn't seem to care. No one was checking.
  
• NO, they do not have you or allow you to draw from concealment. But if you have a IWB type holster, just wear it on top (semi-exposed) of your clothes and you will be fine.
  
• If you have a bullet proof vest, bring it. Otherwise they have them there.
  
• Plan to be there until 4pm and you won't be disappointed. They make the class fun. The range is a bit of unorganized chaos off the line. When you are on the line, it is VERY serious. Just hang in there.
  
• They will tell you this, but pick up your brass after you finish.
  
• Bring a sack lunch will make things easier.
  
• Bring ALL your handguns. Even if you purchased one since you turned in your app, you can add it at the training. Riverside is not doing adds after your training. You will have to wait TWO YEARS to add another gun.
  
• BTW, if your gun is modified at all, particularly self-stippling, they may not allow you to use it as a CCW.

Curious why stippling would be an issue. Did the range staff happen to say?

I did my training at Jerry Woods. All of my guns were modified. Nobody checked. The instructor even used one of my guns as an example, and he never said a word about modifications.

I'm getting ready to read through some of this very long thread. But maybe you guys can save me some time.

Over a year ago I got my appointment. My appointment is in July. That is all that I have done. I don't even know what to do from here. I know the appointments were backed up so I did that and figured I would sort the rest out later but now the date is getting close and I need to make sure I have all of my ducks lined up. Thank You.
