Important note

Actually emailed Sarah to verify, the instructions make it seem like a range fee is due. Also no adding guns, even though we have to go to the range.

One important note: I did a gun swap in February ahead of my renewal. Took one off and replaced it. My 2020 permit shows the correct three firearms. BUT, I will still have to bring the newly added gun to my requal. Not just the two existing handguns, but ALL THREE. Don't be caught off guard. Bring what's on your permit and sufficient ammo.

No. No money due for re-qualification.

Took class at headquarters on 3/3/20. Left with my 2020 permit in-hand. Expiration is 4/15/20. Going to the range this Saturday AM.

Yeah, guess we skated last July.

Are these new firearms or ones you originally qualified with? I know they were requiring you to qualify if you are making a change in your rotation, at least with the new guns you are changing to. Are they now requiring re-qualifying with guns you originally qualified with?

Yup, existing guns. Couldn't be worse timing with the virus nonsense. Gotta find some factory loads, I have none.

They are requiring people to qualify with existing firearms.
When AB-2103 went into effect SB did not implement the required 'shall include live-fire shooting exercises on a firing range'.
(d) For license renewal applicants, the course of training may be any course acceptable to the licensing authority, shall be no less than four hours, and shall satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a). No course of training shall be required for any person certified by the licensing authority as a trainer for purposes of this section, in order for that person to renew a license issued pursuant to this article.
26165. (a)
(2) The course shall include instruction on firearm safety, firearm handling, shooting technique, and laws regarding the permissible use of a firearm.
(3) The course shall include live-fire shooting exercises on a firing range and shall include a demonstration by the applicant of safe handling of, and shooting proficiency with, each firearm that the applicant is applying to be licensed to carry

Just got an email, even though I got my renewal permit in February, I have to go qualify again 4/18. Thought SB was not doing that, but I guessed wrong.

Note from Sarah:
Wearing a COVID 19 mask is acceptable as you are not trying to hide your identity.

Thanks for acquiring that information. As always greatly appreciate your input and knowledge. Stay safe and healthy.

I did. Must qualify with each of my three firearms even though I already have my 2020 renewed permit in hand. Locked in morning shoot on 4/11/20.

Was told this is to comply with State law.

We have an amazing Sheriff and one that is clearly supportive of the CCW program. We should all be thankful for that and patient while the details of this current situation get worked through.

Heard from a friend that just renewed he got that call.
His current CCW expires 'soon' and he also has his 2020 card in hand.
Looks like they are taking 10 people every 30 minutes.

I don't know if they will be required for everyone or just the 2020 renewals.
AB2103 went into effect Jan 2019 which required qualifications.
Last month Governor Jerry Brown signed a new law requiring all initial CCW applicants attend a minimum of 8 hours of training (but no more than 16), and safely handle and shoot each handgun to be listed on their application. The requirement for CCW renewals is a four hour class and includes the same live-fire qualification.
