Just FYI, I spoke to a rep at Ammo Brothers (Ontario) and he mentioned a friend who just got his packet and called for an interview appointment. He was told that they had no openings until the middle of next year and they'd put him on a waiting list. When they got to the point they could schedule out far enough, they'd call him.

Yup, they have had to cut down their staff processing CCW's due to budget cuts. They have said their priorities are 1) Renewals (about 1400/year) 2) New applications (about 300 per year) 3) Modifications.

I think if they scaled back their background investigation procedures to be something in line with the rest of the world, they could probably process many more applications with a minimal staff. I don't see the necessity to contact employers, do neighborhood checks talking to your neighbors about your personal business, or calling and writing references. A standard FBI/DOJ background investigation based on your fingerprints should be sufficient. If you don't have any red flags pop you should be good to go.

this is more messed up than any policies. So its impossible to obtain a permit in the next year then.

What this means is that if you want to start the process, do it now. Even if the policies are changed due to efforts here and elsewhere, you're still closer to the front of the line. Plus, if things are made easier/quicker, then the line will only get longer.

And 37,000 "non violent" felons are being released next month.

Non Violent?

GTA, burglary, robbery.....

Which is why I think CaDOJ should be the issuing authority when Cali goes shall issue. If it stays the way it is, even though police and sheriff's departments may be required to issue, the manpower they put in place to satisfy the law will be at their discretion.

Picked up my application from SBSO's HQ today. Called to schedule an interview but got voice mail. Received call back from SO and notified that interviews will be scheduled for next year at a later date and a return call will come to set appointment. Now to start compiling all the information they want. I hope I can remember every place I've lived, and every job I've had.

Yup PITA, but if you don't remember exact addresses and exact details, just put down as much as you remember.

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is still a requirement to be San Bernardino resident for a year prior to applying for a ccw?

I have lived here for nine months now, and have a great GC. I will be applying within the next ten days.

Any help is welcomed

Yes, and it'
s illegal for them to require that, but it's still there.

[Cokebottle]

But don't worry.... you've been here for 9 months, it'll be at least another 6 before your interview.

San Bernardino County CCW Question

Hello all... I recently heard that San Berdoo County is denying the CCW carry of 1911 style pistols. Is this in fact true??

[thenodnarb]

I've heard rumors that only DAO pistols are allowed. Others have told me that was FUD. Sorry I can't be of any help.

[Calplinker]

There we numerous 1911 style pistols in the range class I attended a year ago.

Can't imagine they'd make such a rule.

Have you called Joyce to ask? 30 seconds out of your life and you'll have your answer.

[Wherryj]

What if you're self employed as I am. Do they interview me twice?

I just hope that your boss doesn't give a bad report...
