There is a question on the application that asks if you've ever held or applied for a CCW before. I believe you'll have an opportunity to provide details on that in your interview.

[Edneck]

Yes I saw that I will just answer yes to it. I ASSUME at my interview they will ask about that. I was just trying to be prepared for any thing I may not have thought of. Thanks Much for the reply.

I suspect he meant "I've had" rather than "I've have" meaning the others were obtained in the past and are no longer valid.

Oops, dt is correct, I forgot to add the word "had." When I was a Level 1 reserve deputy, I lived in a different county from where I worked, so I had a CCW from that county. When I left the SO I moved to a different county and worked for the local police department as a Level 2, so I had to get a CCW from that county. My process might have been easier since I was a reserve at the time of application. Still had to meet with the sheriff's and qualify like everyone else though. I just remember the fees and hoopla being a whole lot less than what Sac Co. requires.

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?

No issues whatsoever based on what you stated. A previous denial based on those circumstances won't even be given a second look. Go in there confident, knowing that you, just like every other good guy in Sac County who applies, are about to be issued your CCW permit!!

It won't be a problem. I also had a permit about 15 years ago. I stated it where asked on the application and it didn't draw a single comment or question.

No problem during my first interview

I had a CCW back when Chief Eugene Byrd was being called a crazy radical because he was issuing them from Isleton. The detective said oh you had one from isleton. That was the total amount that it came up. I did not have a denial because when my expired Chief Byrd had left Isleton PD and was running Sac County Sheriff.

Dropped off my final paperwork this morning; I should have my CCW by the end of January! I arrived 20 minutes early, they saw me right away, and I was out before my actual appointment time. The officer who took my paperwork mentioned that last year they were processing 10 to 20 applications per month, and now they're up to 100 to 120 per month. That's a lot of people with guns walking around!

I feel safer already.

Gene and Branden

I have pm'd both of you a question before I apply. Please let me know so that I can get an appointment scheduled. Thanks for all the work.

The training should be offered by the Sheriff at no charge. The department has a huge range that goes unused a great deal of the time. Would be easy to open it up to people seeking permits or just knowledge/training for home use at no cost.

Makes sense! There are many things the new Sheriff should be doing!!! No one seems to know his direction. Only that he is an attorney who has only worked in the jail. Not in a patrol car, not in detectives, not on special teams.

Folks are sceptical! We were hoping for a Joe Arpaio or Sheriff Mack style sheriff, but it looks like we may have the status quo politician attorney for sheriff! Who knows, maybe we will be surprised in the future!

I went an hour before my appointment time for my initial interview and there was a total of three of us. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. On my way back thru the lobby to get my CDL, there were probably 20+ people in there.
