When I qualified at Ben Clark, they refused to allow a gun from another CCW applicant that was stippled. They said that it weakened the gun.

Well my date got bumped up (to May 11th). I'll ask the Deputies in the CCW unit for any further clarification.

Gonna have to as my G19 is stippled. 1000+ rounds through it with zero frame issues.

When I qualified at Ben Clark, they refused to allow a gun from another CCW applicant that was stippled. They said that it weakened the gun. I didn't follow that logic but they refused.

They said "furniture is OK, but nothing else". Furniture being things you put ON the gun, not in. Sights, grips, lights, lasers=OK. Trigger jobs, triggers=not ok.

See more info here I posted other great Ben Clark info here.

I renewed last month. Nothing was said about triggers at all. All of mine have been worked to some degree. At BC, weapons inspected and OK'd.

Hi guys. My interview date is coming up on June 10. Would anyone be able to PM or email me a sample template for the letter of recommendation? Thanks in advance. Also, would a passport be ok to use for proof of citizenship?

Not in Riverside myself. Why don't you have a copy of your birth certificate?
That is what they are asking for.

Email the CCW unit about a Passport as proof of citizenship, they'll let you know right away.

For the reference letter, it's a VERY simple outline, basically have a reference person state their name, contact info, that they are aware that you are applying for a concealed firearm permit (this is important, don't leave that out), and that they consider you an honest, moral, and stand-up individual who can handle the responsibility. Then have them date and sign it, but make sure it's dated close to your interview date, I'd say within a month or so would be perfect. They don't like stale reference letters for some reason.

I had a friend go through the process recently and they kicked back one of his letters because it was too "template-ish". They asked to have the person add more about his character, etc.

A few more notes. Make sure you get these months ahead of time. For two of my three references, it was like pulling teeth. Also, I have heard appointments being moved up (since it is election year). So have all your paperwork ready about 3-4 months ahead of your date.

Finally, although the Riverside CCW instructions just ask for reference person's name and address, they also want a phone number for the person on the letter.

Truth right there. My appt was for late June so I didn't rush getting the letters from my references. Got a call last Friday asking if I wanted it moved up to May 11th. I jumped on it.

I'm still waiting for two of my letters.

I called the CCW unit to inform them of what was happening on my end. I was lucky enough to be able to get my June date back.

Heya everyone, quick question.

I have the Smith & Wesson SD9VE. It's my first and only gun. I like it well enough, but I agreed with all the reviews I checked out that the trigger was not good - so I had it replaced with the Apex trigger. Nothing fancy, just a basic trigger swap.

I am going for my CCW permit, and reading through this thread I keep seeing "no trigger jobs." Well, I am fairly new to all of this, so I am unclear on what a "trigger job" actually is. Is what I had done considered a "trigger job?" Am I going to run into issues with my Apex trigger? I still have the stock trigger, although I hate it...should I pay the $50 and have it reinstalled before the test and then have to pay another $50 to have the Apex installed afterwards (meaning a total of $150 to do this), or would I even legally be able to reinstall the Apex trigger afterwards (meaning that if I had to have the stock trigger reinstalled and then qualified with the gun and THAT trigger, would I be legally required to have THAT trigger on my CCW gun?)

Sorry for such a rambling question - I couldn't think of a more succinct way to ask the question

Take care,
Rob

Heya everyone - ok, so I tried to search, but (for me at least) the search function doesn't seem to be working.

I would like some feedback on my "good cause" statement. Is there anyone available who is willing & able to help me out?

Take care,
