I don't think I could have been anymore clear in my question and Amber's response is pretty clear, cut and dry. However, this totally goes against what one of my instructors was told when he spoke with her in person and against what harbinger007 was told previously. All I can say is that if this ever comes into question for anyone during their process, get in contact with me and I'll forward you the entire e-mail correspondence that I had with Amber so you can print it out and present it to her.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Sincerely,

Wes

Thanks, Wes.

To clarify, I had not been told anything about the length of time training or qualifications were valid from Amber. In posts 5 and 15 of this thread (on page 1) I referred to other members that had indicated that training was valid for 90 days and linked to one of those posts, but we never could find any official indication of that from the SSD. Thankfully, you've got that clarified!

4 or 5 pistols on CCW

Has anyone done this. If you qualify with 4 or 5 pistols will they be allowed or is 3 the hard limit?

[CSDGuy]

They allow only 3.

[harbinger007]

Three is the hard limit in Sacramento County per policy (not law). The only way to sort of have more than three is to have different barrels for some of those three handguns.

4 handguns is the limit in Butte county. I just added my 4th one last month for $10. to the sheriff and $20 for the range fee at Chico Rod & Gun Club facility. They meet the 1st and 3rd friday of the month about 6pm.

Turned in my class completion cert with the 3 handguns listed on it.

They were breaking in a new guy today so my process took a little longer than it should in the future. I was scheduled for a 9:30 appt (LOVE the online scheduling app!), arrived at 9:15, and barely sat down when I and another fellow (already there for his 9:20) were called up.

Very straightforward. Hand over the cert, sign the blank license, thumbprint *here* and *here*. Told it would arrive via cert mail in 7-14 days.

Wow, can't believe the long-awaited day is finally here! I've been pursuing this since Sept 28th and not letting the grass grow under my feet (taking each step as promptly as humanly possible). I will soon see that rare and elusive beast... a CA CCW!

Now if my holster would only arrive!!

Sacramento County only allows up to 3 guns on their CCW permits. I would like to see it be unlimited but CA PC 12051(a)(1) requires that the license "contain a description of the weapon or weapons authorized to be carried, giving the name of the manufacturer, the serial number, and the caliber." Because of this requirement, Sac County determined that they could only fit 3 on the permit.

Very nice! I'm just waiting for the DOJ to send the certified letter to them so I can make my final appointment. The livescan results for both FBI and DOJ were sent to them the same day as the scan. It's a shame they don't accept the electronic results as they are. It would streamline the process somewhat for them as they would not have to handle even more mail and write more letters than they already do.

what weapons are covered?

In Sacramento, or California for that matter, when you have gotten your coveted CCW, what other weapons are covered? We have stupid laws saying you can carry a folding knife concealed but not a fixed blade. Would this be covered under the CCW? I know that collapsable batons are illegal except for police/security etc, any chance they would be allowed?

Truly I don't expect much leeway with this but it would seem to me that if we have our license to carry concealed firearms that a less lethal alternative would be approved.

If anyone has heard anything about this please post it and let us know. Until then I will go back to my room and keep chanting to the gods of CCW's to approve my application and let me get going onto the next step.

Be safe all.

Your permit covers only the guns on your permit and nothing else.

Wonder if you can put down a neck nife. Be interesting to see what the training requirement would have to be.

It is a weapon.

What is the average time before they cash your check?

PC 12050 says:

(a)(1)(A)The sheriff of a county, upon proof that the person applying is of good moral character, that good cause exists for the issuance, and that the person applying satisfies any one of the conditions specified in subparagraph (D) and has completed a course of training as described in subparagraph (E), may issue to that person a license to carry a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person in either one of the following formats:

So, no.

^^I knew that. Hence the roll eyes.

Hey guys I have not seen this one asked yet. About 20 years ago I held a ccw permit in Shasta County were I lived at the time. When I moved to Sac County, Shasta County would not renew me when the time came since I no longer lived in that County.I was told was back then that I had not been in Sac County a year and it was nearly impossible to get a permit. So I just never even bothered to apply. I currently have an appointment in April to turn in my application. Anyone see any issues I should be prepared for?
