I don't see any availability in May. That had been opening up the next month on the first of the previous month (e.g., all of April became available on March 1), but that didn't seem to happen on April 1.

I stand corrected. I went back into the appointment page and see only Mondays and Wednesdays open for April. Nothing open in May yet. I thought this UCLA Alum might be getting special treatment.

Man this has been a loooooong process!

Very cool. Hope all is smooth for you come Monday.

In a way, the extra time is good. I just picked up a new Sig and though I already qualified 3, was thinking of swapping one of them for it. Gives me time to make up my mind and get it qualified.

There is a training subforum, but since you already did it...

I haven't taken theirs, but when I was trying to decided between the 3 common choices, I called and talked to Jake to ask about requirements and qualification about 6 weeks ago.

Course of fire was standard, both hands an 10 yards or less. Nothing stuck out, if you are competent no problems.

But....what got me...being I don't have holsters since I don't have a CCW (chicken or the egg), is that they require you have a holster. Since I was going to qualify 3 weapons, that meant mandatory buy of 3 holsters.

Since those can be spendy and I don't know how or where I want to carry, I didn't want to end up with 3 holsters I would later off. That kinda put them out of the running for me. They also get you for another $25 each for gun 2 and 3 if you are going to qualify more than the 1. That wasn't a deal breaker as much as the holsters, but something to factor

If you are considering them, best thing may be to call and talk to one of the 3 guys who teach it and see what the latest is.

Just my opinion but presentation from a holster is an important skill and I wouldn't take a class from anyone who didn't include it in their CCW course.

So the wife just got her approval email for ccw, she had her interview a day after mine, I haven't heard a thing yet. What's the deal?

Forgive me if this has been discussed already... I have heard rumors that SSD allows multiple calibers per pistol as a single line item now. Can anyone vouch for this?

I've already sent an email to SSD CCW, but did not receive a response. Thanks

They like her more.

I called them, they said they have a stack of 60 apps to send emails for. Said it may take all day.

Does anybody have info. on section 7 of the DOJ application that's used for renewals? They are asking for good cause again. Just say the same, "I wish to carry a concealed firearm for the purpose of self defense." ?
