You don't want to wait until nearly the last minute to submit for renewal for exactly the reason that happened to you.

As I noted previously, I submitted all documentation (excluding identifying weapons and training certs) well in advance of expiration. I submitted my designated weapons and training certs for them and, 28 minutes later, got the approval email. Others are reporting similarly quick turn times. So, either the SSD likes some of us better than others, or, there's something of interest in others' submission packages. If the package is delayed, it would make sense to submit an email inquiry. Don't ask for a "status update". Explain that everything has been in place since (fill in the date) and you are concerned about the delay. (Just don't email them 28 minutes after you've submitted the last documents.)

The good news is that since you submitted your application before your expiration date, you won't have to go through the process as a new applicant, they'll consider your application as basically a temporarily expired renewal.

Even if the app isn't submitted before expiration, the SSD allows a 60-day grace period for renewal. See Sac Sheriff CCW FAQs:

6. Is there a grace period that allows me to submit my Renewal Application if I let it expire?

A: There is a 60-day grace period. If you fail to submit your Renewal Application after the 60-day grace period, you will have to start the process over as a New Applicant.

I kept hearing that the renewals were taking no time at all so I waited till I had a week left and submitted my application. Now a week later my permit has expired and I haven't heard anything. I guess on the bright side I got my full two years, and I don't have any reason to leave the house for the next couple days. I hope it doesn't take much longer.

The order tracker says "assigning to processor shortly..."

I'm in the same boat. CCW expired 3/21 and I submitted renewal on 3/12/21. Still waiting as of today. I did contact SSO last week and they said I'm 27th in the queue and it "should" be this week.

Mine expires in June, should I re-apply now?

Mine expires in June, should I re-apply now?

Yes. Sooner the better imho

[Dvrjon]

Mine expires in June, should I re-apply now?

From the SSD instructions:

if you apply well in advance of your current expiration date you will be forfeiting the remainder of the days that are left on your current permit.

Start now and se if the application will open for you.

I'm from Sac county and this will my first time renewing my CCW permit. My CCW permit will be expiring in June. I am a little bit confused and this might be a stupid question, but can I renewal my CCW application and put down 3 firearms and 2 proof of residency and upload 4-Hour Firearms Training Certificate on a later date or do I have to upload everything at once? Thanks, in advance!

Load what you can when you can. In Mar, I loaded everything but the gun selection and training certs. A week before expiration, I loaded those and was approved within an hour.

Others have had longer waits to clear.

It depends on what you want, where you live and what you want to pay. (All initial courses for Sacramento are two days.)

For simple certification, the Gun Range in North Highlands is $180, includes targets/range fees and quals on 3 guns.

If you want to be outside, running and gunning, then Wes Lagomarsino will spend the two days at the Sac Valley Shooting Center and cert up to 3 guns for $375. But, you have to commute to SVSC.

Denied CCW... what now?

The lady that interviewed me asked if I've ever had any trouble with the law. I replied outside of a couple speeding tickets in my younger years (I'm 40 now) I've been a law abiding citizen - she found said tickets. Then she keeps pressing me, obviously implying there's something missing. Turns out, I had absolutely totally forgot about a failure to appear in court for a traffic stop when I was 20... 20 years ago! She couldn't give me any info about it and she did a really good job at making it look like I was lying about it all and purposely withholding info. After the denial of CCW I appealed with letters of character from LEOs here in Sacramento that know me very well, one of which works at that same sheriff's office, plus every piece of info regarding the incident that Sac County was able to dig up. My appeal was also denied. Any tips on what I can do at this point to help my case and have a better chance at CCW approval 2nd time around? Has anyone here ever petitioned to have misdemeanors reduced to infractions in order to apply for CCW? I see A LOT of people on here that had an "In-n-Out" experience with getting approved, mine was anything but that. Very discouraging.
