They said I should hear back in 6 months with a date for the range appointment, if approved.
Be ready for the interview guys. It all started off good, but they said they needed to finger print me and opened the door to the basement and that was when I saw all the scratch marks on the inside of the door and heard the screams from below. I thought FiPi's basement was just fiction...............
The process went faster than I expected. There were a few pages of forms to fill out and a question sheet. It asked about smoking MJ but didn't ask about using or eating it, not that I do, but with all I have heard about the various products out there I expected the question to be different. Well, I once ate a special brownie and didn't know what they meant by special and trusted the person. To me, special was just something really good or made for a person they loved. It was an awful experience and I no longer eat any brownies. Point is, the question didn't ask if I had ever ingested MJ, just if I had smoked it, which is a no.
They didn't ask any questions about my personal life when doing paperwork and the guy doing the prints just asked about the business I work for.
As far as dress. I wore one of my 5.11 shirts and camo shorts, just like I do almost every day. The shirts are very comfy and are as cheap as 5 bucks each on clearance and I have 5 positions in the local gun club and promote shooting sports and compete myself. Why pretend to be who I am not? We'll see if I get denied for it.
The process took less than 40 minutes and the staff was great. While I can complain about all the stupid hoops SB County makes you go through and the crappy laws of the state, I can't complain about the people handling the process. Luckily I live in SB and not LA or San Diego. On the other hand, in Arizona or Idaho, all you have to do is slip a gun in your pants and you are good to go.
Hopefully they are moving faster than expected on background and getting range dates scheduled.
