They don't like modified internal components in your pistols. They'll explain why in the CCW class. More of a court and liability issue. Sights, grips, external cosmetic mods are usually OK.

I returned one of my CCW G22 pistol back to stock trigger. Put the trigger onto one of my other competition Glock.

The Deputies at the range will inspect your pistols just before you go onto the range to qualify.

Thanks for the response.

Quick question, are they still requiring you to apply and get denied through your local PD first before applying through them? thanks

No. Not a requirement anymore.

[EspoMan]

No. Not a requirement anymore.

Wow awesome! Thanks for the quick reply.

[EspoMan]

I cant apply till next year because my lease only has 6 months left on it and according to their FAQ you need at least 9 months left on your lease.

[EspoMan]

No. Not a requirement anymore.

Hey sir are you sure? Because the instructions say this:

You must be a full time resident within the County of San Bernardino but outside
of any incorporated city limits. (Exception: any Sheriff contracted city.)

Outside of any incorporated city? I live in a city with their own P.D. Im sure it is an incorporated city.

then this:

If you live in a city within the county of San Bernardino where the Sheriff’s
Department does not provide law enforcement services, your must contact your
local agency. If your current agency is not issuing CCW licenses you must first
obtain a letter of denial stating their agency does not object to San Bernardino
County Sheriff’s Department issuing a CCW license under our guidelines.

EDIT: SORRY! I must have been looking up an old instruction sheet!

[voodoomedman]

Yeah maybe an old sheet. It was either here or calccw I had read it. I called and verified with employee resources at the Sheriff. We had been waiting on our City for a couple months to provide us with a letter for my wife. When I did mine years ago it only took a couple weeks. Anyhow, now with the new change we have the appointment set for my wife.

Thats good news. What made them change that requirement?

I did. I told them it was a stupid requirement and they needed to change it because why give power to the city LEO's.


So they did.


Just kidding

You sir are a hero!

[EspoMan]

I can't wait to apply next year!!

Don't know. Think they are just streamlining and making a better experience. I'm sure they check with local pd to ensure there's nothing they don't know and to play the political game but have taken the burden off of applicants. No references and letters anymore either. I wish they would drop the employer check though. At least not tell the employer what it's about.

What is the success rate with most applicants? My record is squeaky clean.

You'll be fine. Don't sweat it.

My "Class" and qual is Aug 10th.....
I called last week about adding a pistol to the list, they told me to just bring it in... I did that this afternoon at 3:45... they took it back... verified it and baddah-bing-baddah-bang... all set!

I have had nothing but a positive experience with the SBSO so far!
