No, just take the training qualification for each pistol.

[aztecwarrior76]

No, just take the training qualification for each pistol.

Thats what i thought, thank you. I have my final appointment today.

Just got my DOJ approval email earlier today. My timeline:

2/26 initial
3/27 sac sheriff approval
3/27 livescan completed
6/1 doj approval

So a little over 60 days for doj approval for me. I've been busy and haven't been able to take my class yet. Anyone have any recommendations?

So how much does all this cost when said and done? Just want to be sure I have enough money, also on the questions about arrests or charges I have a DUI from over 7 years ago which I plead guilty to a misdemeanor.

9. Have you ever been convicted of any criminal offense (civilian or military) in the U.S. or any other
country? If yes, please explain including the date, agency, charges and disposition

6. List any arrest or formal charges, with or without disposition, for any criminal offenses within the U.S. or
any other country (civilian or military)

which would go hand and hand with

3. Are you now, or have you ever been, addicted to a controlled substance or alcohol, or have you ever
utilized an illegal controlled substance, or have you ever reported to a detoxification or drug treatment
program. If yes, please explain.

I have not drank in 7 + years, how would I answer that? I have no drunk in public's only the DUI where no one was involved but myself.

Greetings! Let's hope that the third time's a charm!

I had my first Livescan 10/17/2014 . . . after a couple phone calls over a couple months to see what the hold up was, finally found out that through no fault of my own (poor fingerprints), I was a reject. My paperwork was laying around, doing nothing. Soooo, had my second Livescan 03/19/2015
Today, 05/14/2015, Livescan for the THIRD time! Same issue, I guess. The last reject letter was dated May 5.

THIS time I went to the Kilgore station. Was fingerprinted there years ago with no problem.

I think my initial interview was 9/11/2014. At this rate, I'll end up celebrating an anniversary of some kind!

<<sigh>>

Where you did your livescan?

[Dvrjon]

So how much does all this cost when said and done?

$200 in fees; $300 in training. (Plus guns, holsters, ammo, etc.)

Be honest, answer truthfully. #3 would appear to be "no".

Although 7 years appears to be on the margin of approval, the real question is what you've done with your life since then.

Tell the truth.

Good luck.

Be patient, i know it seems like forever, but in the end it will pay off. If you haven't take your class yet, now will be the time to get ti done.
I just received my CCW last week and all i can say is that it was worth the wait.

Good luck.

I'm patient , I took my class last week.I called Sacramento sheriff to check on my live scan result and if they get it, they just tell me wait to 120 days . The only reason I'm concerned is one of my finger wasn't printing good when livescan.Some people here had the same problem and the sheriff department left their paperwork sitting there without calling them or do anything.
I will wait , wait and wait.
