My application has been accepted ($20 + $95), I completed the Livescan ($10), I qualified with the hand guns I want on my permit ($20 worth of ammo), and I completed the 4 hour classroom training ($100).

So now I am just waiting for an approval or denial letter. So far I am $245 invested into the process. If I am approved I owe another $80 bringing the total for a Riverside County CCW to $325 for 2 years.

Good luck Please keep us updated

Good luck! I would hope that they would let you know before the $200+ mark if there were any show-stoppers.

Can you describe the weapons qualification process?

Can you describe the weapons qualification process?

You go to the range at the Ben Clark Training center. The range master inspects your guns and fills out a form with the serial numbers of the guns you are going to qualify with.

You have to fire a full mag (10 rounds in you have pre-ban mags) from 15 yards at two standard silhouette (NRA B-27) targets. You start from the low ready. 2 shots to the chest on one target, then 2 shots to the chest to the second. Repeat until you gun is empty.

You then move up to 10 yards and repeat the same process.

Last you move up to 7 yards. From this starting point the process is 2 shots to the chest and 1 to the head on the first target, then 2 shots to the chest 1 to the head on the second target. Repeat until your gun is empty.

You have to qualify with each gun that you want on your permit. Make sure you bring enough ammo. There are no restrictions on type of ammo you can shoot.

You need 70% hits on the target to pass. They also make you wear body armor (which they provide).

I am also getting ready to apply for mine with the rso, after talking with the deputy who was very helpful with my problem of my city I live in. The only question if any one can answer is if they can request copies of cash deposits for self employed and not just a copy of the business license? If any thoughts please help

[SDI]

They would actualy like to see a letter from your bank saying that you deposit large amounts of cash but some banks like Bank of America refuse to do this. So they will settle for the transaction receipt for cash deposits.

Thanks

I am thinking about applying in Riverside County, City of Beaumont. I own a company that transports a lot of personal information (ssn's, medical records, other private info) into bad neighborhoods. If stolen these items could be used for identity theft. Is this, in anyones experience a good enough good cause? I know I have to apply to the city first.

Yup.
Not sure about you having to apply to the city first though. If you call the CCW unit they will tell you.

You will get one of the new credit card style CCW's with your picture on it.

Ok, I'm going to contact the local PD on Monday. I'll keep everyone posted. If anyone has tips for me on how to make it flow as smoothly as possible, please feel free to PM me.

Unless you are absolutely sure you have to go to your local PD, why not call the RivCo CCW unit like I said and ask. They are super nice and you might be able to just apply directly to them.

I read through the info here:

http://calgunsfoundation.org/downloads/documents/Riverside.pdf

and it says that you must at least attempt to apply if you live in a city within the county that has it's own PD.

[SDI]

OK, gotcha.
I just know of alot of people who just applied directly to the Sheriff's CCW unit and had no problem.

The only thing I do know for sure is if you call and ask they will tell you.
I talk to those guys all the time and they really don't understand why more people don't just call them up and ask questions. You don't even have to tell them your name.
Sheriff Sniff has taken quite an interest in CCW's lately. That is why he bought the new equipment for the plastic cards.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.
