San Bernardino

[USMCDevildog73]

Hello everyone. I live in San Bernardino County. I was once a heavy drinker on the weekends. The last time I drank was over 7 years ago. Would the fact that I was once a heavy drinker be grounds for disqualification for a CCW? When I use to go out back in the day, I always wanted to drink on the weekends. I am 37 now. My last drink was when I was 30.

May not be ideal, but it's not a crime to be a heavy drinker.

Yeah I know, but I know they may not want someone who drinks heavy to possess one. DOJ questionairre askes if you were ever addicted to alcohol and this might be grounds for them to say you were

Were you a diagnosed alcoholic, or just a partying fool... Any DUI or public intoxication arrests?

Having been young and foolish in the past is not a disqualifying factor...

[USMCDevildog73]

partying fool. got charged with minor purchasing alcohol at the age of 20, 3 months or so before turning 21. I am now 37


That shouldn't be an issue, it has been 17 years....

Well I got my packet in Dec, waited till I got all my letters and stuff together (stupid I know) Called yesterday, they said they are making appointment for next year and will call me.... Man that is going to be a long wait... What if I change jobs during that time??? do I have to reapply??

[Quiet]

The current long wait time is due to budgetary/manpower concerns within SBSD that have caused them to reduce the CCW staff to one person.

Hi all! Long time lurker here. I just picked up my CCW application. I have read most post on it and Ijust want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I lucked out both of my neighbors are LEO and we get along great and my boss is pro-gun

1- Make my appointment Asap, correct?
2- Should I have my LEO neighbors write my letters or should they be part of the 4 who they contact? Also, do they contact all four or is it random?

I guess that is all for now and thank you in advanced for the help.

Anyone know how long after the class the permit will show up in the mail.

Anyone know how long after the class the permit will show up in the mail.

I was wondering the same thing. I just took the class. As far as I know that was the last step (?), so I am guessing the next thing is to receive the card. I am happy to wait patiently, but still wonder how long that might take.

[bkoyle]

Just finished the class as well. Waiting patiently as well.

[DocClark340]

Mine took about 1-1/2 month after my class.

I received a letter in the mail today, but it was just a receipt for the fee for the training class.

Thanks Doc. That helps me to not go crazy in anticipation
