Hi, does anyone know why backgrounds are taking so long for ccw. I had my interview first week of February and still haven’t heard anything. Just curious because buddy of mine interviewed week prior to me an already had his range day and got her permit issued to him

Same here but my interview was 1/11, I was told when doing my scans it will take 4-6 months. I'm hoping to hear back next month.

possible delays include: residency checks, employer approval.

Here is my renewal timeline with a weapons change:

Current permit expires: 5/1/19
Submitted Renewal Application: 2/15/19
Range Day: 3/2/12
Renewal Class: 3/12/19
New Permit received: 4/11/19

It looks like they are now caught up.

But I would rather be without my permit for 2 weeks, seems to be the most time, than be restricted to 2 weapons for 2 yrs.

Lesser of the evils for me.

I bounced that around in my head, but the bottom line is that I do not know if or when I might need my weapon. I would have felt pretty stupid if I would have needed it during the lapse period. In any event, looks like they are caught up, that's good.

I agree with the not knowing when or where..........

Sad a United States citizen even needs to be confronted with such a choice....

And that is the absolute truth.

Other than the power going out at the SBSD training center and having to move the class portion to their HQ, everything went smooth yesterday. Congrats to everybody that passed!

Pro tip: if you’re gonna qual a firearm as your ccw, make sure it’s one that you’ve put it through it’s paces and not a brand new one that you have never operated and jams (about 4 times) at the line

I see a lot of threads on this forum stating that SBCS's policy for CCW holders is to carry nothing greater than 10 rounds. I don't disbelieve this statement. But where on our paperwork/website/letter is this stated?

I know everyone weighs their own risk and makes their choice, but I think you could make a strong argument that you were never informed of such policy should a situation reveal that you're carrying greater than 10rds. Not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying you can make a very strong argument if you were standing in front of a judge.

My instructor specifically stated that if we LEGALLY possess large capacity magazines, to please use them.

The problem (at the time) was that legal possession of larger magazines for most popular carry guns such as the G19 was pretty rare since they actually had to be purchased before the 1994 Federal ban.
Now, that is no longer the case, and the injunction barring possession is still in force even though we can not purchase after a couple of weeks ago.

It's a problem having multiple instructors... you get a slightly different story from each one, as each has a different interpretation of the law. My renewal class contained information that was in direct conflict with information provided at my original class (which was taught by the guy who wrote the training program).
Same with RDS. Apparently, at least one of the deputies working the range has a problem with RDS and will not allow you to qualify with it. Others have no problem. My instructor was using one at the time of my class and he said that he was still deciding if the added bulk was worth it, even carrying OWB.
But he was very clear that there were no prohibitions against, and actually encouraged modifications (installed by a pro) that improve accuracy.
My advice on that, qualify at the range with conventional sites and have the RDS installed after.

Ultimately, if it's not in writing, or marked as a restriction on the back of the license, there is no legal basis for a criminal charge based on "Deputy Jones said...". Depending on which detective reviews your incident, it COULD result in a revocation.
