60 day grace period. Some unfortunate family news is going to force me to miss my current planned renewal date and go past my expiration date. Is it the same process if you are in the 60 day grace period? Or is it a different process?

Same. But it might be wise to shoot an email to the CCW and alert them. They may have some specific guidance for you.

You can still renew during the 60 day period, but you cannot carry past the expiration date on your CCW. - there is no extension. After 60 days, you have to start as if you were applying for an initial CCW (including LiveScan, interviews, etc..). This isn't County policy - appears to be from higher guidance.

You can still process the renewal before your expiration - it will come with the date that they process it. You might try to find a way to pick it up within a reasonable time - they won't mail it as you have to provide a fingerprint for it.

Interesting bit of information. I received my Sacramento County CCW through the SB-2 court process since SSD kept denying me over a1996 arrest (non-violent felony, disposition: dismissed). Between 2009-2025 I was denied a total of 5 times (including appeals). In April of this year, I finally received mine through the judicial process mentioned above. Then a very odd thing happened. About a week after picking my card up, I got an email from SSD stating that I must return my permit and to contact them asap. When I was on the phone with them, I wanted to know why I was being told to return the permit. After a half hour & 3 different cops who couldn’t seem to come up with an answer, I was transferred to an “office supervisor” who told me that there was an “error in the verbiage on the back of the permit in the small red print,” and that I just needed to come in to trade mine for the “corrected” permit. Upon arrival I was told by the cop at the front kiosk that they had been “waiting for me” before I could say a word. I got the same “greeting” inside the CCW office. Creepy AF. At the conclusion, after I handed the “defective” card in, I received my “corrected” one. Turned out the “urgent correction” was the now-absent signature of Sheriff Jim Cooper’s on the front lower right (now blank) IA sheriff signature line, and underneath the empty line is now printed “Issued by: Judicial Decision/SB-2.” The cop who handed it to me said “No hard feelings, right? Don’t worry, you can still carry.” No “hard feelings” because I was lied to about the “verbiage?” Or because that cop who handed it to me happened to be the sargeant who was at my SB-2 court hearing trying to talk the judge out of ruling in my favor?? I still don’t know what to think about that whole situation almost 2 months later.

I received my Sacramento County CCW through the SB-2 court process.[…]

About a week after picking my card up, I got an email from SSD stating that I must return my permit and to contact them asap.

Turned out the “urgent correction” was the now-absent signature of Sheriff Scott Cooper’s on the front lower right (now blank) IA sheriff signature line, and underneath the empty line is now printed “Issued by: Judicial Decision/SB-2.”

The cop who handed it to me said “No hard feelings, right? Don’t worry, you can still carry.” No “hard feelings” because I was lied to about the “verbiage?” Or because that cop who handed it to me happened to be the sargeant who was at my SB-2 court hearing trying to talk the judge out of ruling in my favor??.

It’s unfortunate that you had to get dragged through this process, but congrats on the win!

From what you related, I don’t think they lied to you about the error in verbiage. I think the Sheriff was forced by the court to issue the license and it was decided to clarify that the court was the source of the authority to issue, not the sheriff. It’s a chickensh$t thing to do.

The sergeant who was at your hearing was there at the direction of the Sheriff and represented what the Sheriff wanted him to represent. I would take his comment about “no hard feelings” as an indication he may not have agreed with the decision to not issue and was just carrying water for the sheriff.

Final note: I know this has dragged out for years, but the current Sheriff’s first name is “Jim”, not “Scott” (Scott Jones left office in Dec 2022).

Best.

Thank you for the kind words, and I corrected my mistake. Funny thing is that Scott Cooper is still in the list of the 3 sheriffs (including Jim Cooper & John McGuinness) who denied me over my decade and a half of fighting this, and a couple of thousand dollars later. I should also mention that at my 2nd denial, CGN powers-that-be decided to step in and help me by providing a very good Sacramento attorney, Adam Richards (“ohsmiley”) to put together a really professional, comprehensive appeal package for me pro bono. And even though the SSD still rejected that, I will never forget that gesture and vote of confidence regarding my history & character from ALL who were involved in that, including Kestryll, Wildhawker, Ivanimal, and Ohsmiley. And in the end, California’s “sensitive places” legislation has made it so I/we can’t carry in 90% of the state anyway. Go figure.
