How long after interview before being notified to scheduled range class?

Today its my 90th day after my interview. Wondering if I don't get a call today if I should sit tight for few weeks or call tomorrow to check on the status?

Called them this morning. They have not done the neighborhood check yet.

My neighbors were interviewed about 30 days after my interview.

My neighbors were interviewed about 30 days after my interview.

Strange? Anyone else had the neighborhood visit past 90 days?

A buddy of mine had his interview the same day as evlblkrfl and his neighbors were interviewed a couple of weeks ago.

I just picked up my application and made an appointment today. Looks like the interviews are being scheduled six months out; my interview is set for November.

Just out of curiousity, how many us have tried Ontario PD first?

Hello everyone. I recently went to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's office to add a firearm to my CCW permit. It is an HK Mark 23. The receptionist took my info and had me fill out some forms. I paid the $15 and she told me that their new policy required me to qualify with the weapon I was adding. That was fine with me. Then she took my firearm to a rear area of the building for an officer to verify it was registered to me etc. Here is how the discussion went with the officer that inspected the firearm:

Officer: "How are you going to carry this?"
Me: "In a belt holster."
Officer: "You can't, it's too big."
Me: "I've tried it, I can carry it."
Officer: "Nope, it's too big."
Me: "Well I'd also like to have it on my permit so I can have it in the car with me."
Officer: "We don't put guns on permits just so you can put it under your seat or in the glove box."
Me: "It won't be in either location. It will be on the seat next to me, concealed."
Officer: "No, it is too big. You cannot put it on your permit."
Me: "What is the criteria for determining if it is too big?"
Officer: "There is no criteria. We just decide when it is too big."

At that point the officer walked away and left me with the receptionist and my HK.

I have considered writing the officer to request objective criteria. Is there a barrel length after which you cannot add the firearm to a permit? It seems rather arbitrary. I definitely won't purchase a full-frame gun without checking with them to make sure it can be added to the permit.

And yes, I do realize a Mark 23 would be challenging to conceal on my person. But it would really be nice to have it accessible in the car when travelling.

What are your thoughts everyone? Thank you.

I guess how the LEO saw it was CCW is for self protection in a defensive situation at close range. At longer range you can flee from harm and firing far gives you a higher chance to miss. A Mark 23 I guess isn't considered defensive?

For example I doubt they will allow a Desert Eagle .44 on the CCW permit.

CCW is pretty much at the sheriffs discretion for approval. Correct me if i'm wrong. Otherwise people would be adding AR15 pistols

How big are YOU? I can conceal my Desert Eagle but I am 6'4. My wife is not able to conceal a 5 shot revolver because she is so small. It's all relevant to proportions.

I am at 110 days and waiting. Waiting actually got easier once I past 90 days.

Just had my interview today. Interview was faster than the wait for finger printing. As mentioned, no ref. letters or references required.

Now the 90+ day waiting game begins.

[tylenol9999]

118 days since interview. Called today to check the status, DOJ and neighborhood check is done just waiting on Riverside (previously lived there) to send requested info. San Bernardino's second attempt to get info from Riverside. All in all I am happy to see things moving in the right direction. Can't imagine it taking more than a couple more weeks.
