Make sure your character letters state CCW from Riverside County Sheriff’s, one of mine had to be redone!

[iamj]

Will do. Can a letter be written from someone living in a different state?

[datawin2]

It has to state the Sheriff's department, not just the it is for CCW?

How specific do you need to be with your level of expertise answer etc. Should I go back forty years when I started shooting, or keep it current and relevant?

thanks

I went back to when I was a child, including gun safety courses, etc., but got into more detail about more recent experience. They don't look for volume - just make sure everything is in order and don't misrepresent anything. I spent a couple weeks putting mine together and I'm pretty sure I went overboard. It took the investigator less than ten minutes to review the whole package.

Honestly, from the level of training and experience some at the Ben Clark Center exhibited on the line I doubt you will have anything to worry about. A couple people admitted that the day they qualified was the first time they ever fired a gun, and one guy needed someone to show him how to load rounds into the magazine and then insert the magazine into the gun. Finally a Deputy came over and took him away - we thought he failed - but the Deputy took him to another bay, gave him some pointers and brought him back and he passed.

They have something like a 98% approval rating, so odds are you will be OK.

For those of you who have qualified in Riverside county, how is the scoring done?

18 rounds fired; 6 at 15 yards, 6 at 10, 6 at 7. You shoot at a Sasquatch-size target and only have to hit 70 percent on target. If you are shooting a 5 shot revolver you only shoot a total of 15 rounds. One thing that threw me off is you are shooting a black target into a black background so you can't really see your hits.

Here is a video of the process. The only difference is there will be 10 people doing it at the same time. Don't forget - long pants are mandatory.

Do they require you to have three mags per firearm, or will they allow you to reload?

They give you time to reload
