Was anybody else here at the class on Tuesday 1/8/19? It was pretty cool having Sheriff McMahon talk and answer questions for the first hour or so.

Quick question. I did my renewal paperwork and went to the class. My license expires 1/15/19. Do they mail out the new license at the last second?

It should arrive the first part of next week.
At one time it seemed all permits were dated 15th of what ever month.

I always call the first week of January for a March renewal class. Never a problem getting a HQ class.
Surprise!!!!!! Booked solid so I have to go to Rancho.
Over 5,000 renewals this year. Girls have a line out the door right now.

We were told by the deps at our renewal class that the SO was in planning or negotiating to use a local mega church that seats 3500 for renewal classes next year. Pretty amazing numbers here.

They need it. The number of permits issued has skyrocketed since 2015, and as long as the SO does not want to give up control of training and move to private instruction, it is only going to compound.
They simply don't have the staff for processing and the deputies to handle classes and training. The budget would be better spent adding staff for processing applicants and allowing the local market to handle training and qualification to the current standards.

According to Deputy Mason we're approaching 10,000 permit holders in SB county... seems like a lot until you consider there are roughly 1.5 million people in the county eligible to carry. About 0.67%.

When I went for my interview in 16 I worked for Bass Pro. Deputy Diaz asked if BP knew anyone that could do CCW classes so I think it has been considered. The SO would have to vet any vendors to their satisfaction but so far nothing seems to be going on. That would put an additional cost on applicants. $100? $200? I don't think that would end the backlog, they still need to get more people into the unit for BG and residency checks to help speed things up.

My card came today.

1-15 - 19 Expiration.

10-17 Renewal application.

12-5 Range appointment to add a gun.

12-11 Renewal class

1-12 Card arrived in the mail.
That seemed pretty prompt to me.

Update!!! CRAP!!! I took a quick look to see if it was my CCW and threw it in a drawer. Went to put it in my wallet and looked at the back. My 1911 didn't make it onto my new CCW. Email inbound, will wait to see what happens.

More than likely they will let you swing by and give them that one for a corrected one.

Yep.
My original permit had an error on the caliber (Glock 36 was listed as .36).
I confirmed my DROS was correct, and they confirmed that AFS was correct and the permit was a typo. They printed a replacement while I waited.

For several years the model of one of my guns was wrong and never even noticed. That was back when you renewed YEARLY!!!!!
A family friend who happened to own a Gun shop and sold us that gun pointed it out. Don't even recall why he was looking at my CCW.

[SMarquez]

Wow!! I got a reply from Sarah at 7:23 saying she would check into it and then a 7:48 saying it was corrected and I could pick it up anytime.
