CCW mental illness question in Sac County

Good Afternoon fellow Californians,
I'm interested in obtaining my CCW in Sac County for the protection of myself and family. My entire application would be squeaky clean except for the question of Mental Illness. I have taken Prozac for about 12 years now for anxiety. It's embarrassing but it was mainly due to the fear of needing a restroom when one isn't available, which had caused me to not enjoy life's adventures to the fullest. The medication has help tremendously and it's not like it was court ordered or I was admitted to a mental institution for the issue. I more define it as a mental disorder instead of mental illness which honestly is in the same categories as male erectile disorder and stuttering.

So my question is how do I go about answering the question, unfortunately our system has placed anxiety into the same categories as the ones described above and others such as Schizophrenia, manic disorder and bi-polar disorder. I will not lie on the application however I don't want to answer the question and be placed into a government system which one day can categorize me as a threat to society.

On another note I work for a state department which has a very reputable relationship with law enforcement.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Two (2) pieces of proof of residency dated within the last 60 days. WE DO NOT accept overdue bills! Acceptable proof must be a monthly bill such as a utility bill, bank statement, cell phone bill, credit card statement, etc. We do not accept documents from DMV as proof of residency but we must ensure your home address is current with the California DMV. You cannot update your home address simply by registering a vehicle or updating your vehicle registration. It can take over 72 hours for DMV to complete the update and for their database to reflect the changes.

Thanks

Cali doesn't have a non resident ccw and is not reciprocal so there is no other state permit that is legal in cali. Uscarry.com has a map that shows where u can carry with the permit or permits u have.

Is it still true that Cali ccw aren't available for out of state residents. Nevada here. But I work in California a lot. Makes no sense to not be able to carry when I'm here.

I just moved to Sacramento. Is there a time period that I have to live in Sacramento before I can apply for my CCW?

EDIT: Does anyone know if two credit card statement would work for proof of residency?

S1nned provided the specific instruction. More are included here: http://www.sacsheriff.com/Pages/Orga.../SIIB/CCW.aspx

I don't think you have to live scan for renewals, although I dont have my ccw yet...

[Dvrjon]

Anyone gone through a recent renewal? I'm a year away from expiration, but i want to plan ahead. I heard you can renew 60 days before expiration, but seeing as just Livescan is taking 4-6 mo, i'd assume i should try to renew earlier. yes, i know you can ask for an extension.

You don't do LiveScan for renewal.

Does anyone know when they release appts for initial applications? I've been checking the site everyday this month and it always says no spots available?

Snagged a cancellation for yesterday and picked up my permit thank you all for all the information received ��

I live scanned on 4/28. I plan on calling Amber the first week of August. My wife and I both live scanned twice before for coaching soccer and for volunteering at my kids school. My wife's both came back in about 30 days while mine took about 75 days. My record is clean outside of a 1992 DUI so that may contribute. I'll also bet that this live scan is a bit more thorough...
