San Joaquin

[sawman]

I can't believe how we are being treated by the sheriff . Crime is through the roof in all of San jouquin county . It seems stockton has a murdr a week and we have to wait 6 months or more to get approved for a CCW to try and leagly protect our families . When we purchase a firearm it is done in minutes why is it taking so long to get the background check done . If you can buy it you should be able to carry it . Lets all remember this when sherif More wants to get elected again or to another office

I applied and had my interview 4/23. Emailed Melanie on 9/23 to check on any update since no one contacted me. Got a call the same day from the interviewer on the 4/23 he told me that they are still working on early April and to be patient. . To my surprise now I see that they working on late april with some people are approved as late as 4/30. It just seem they are picking and choosing not going by order. Im thinking because of my ethnicity or my past sheriff denial at a time when he did not want to approve for any good cause the average person without a $1000 donation check that I will be denied again. I was hoping our vote will not go to waist but apparently he don't care for vote any more or you have to be of certain kind. I do have a ccw from another state and nothing legally disqualify me for a California ccw but what can I say..... Sorry y'all just frustrated and venting. .

It just shows you how much Sheriff More does not care about the people he is suppose to serv. There is no other county department with this pour of customer service . Would you put up with waiting 6 months for a license to get married 6 months for a building permit 6 months for building inspection 6 months for a dog license 6 months for business license etc. When is he going to do what ever it takes to speed up the process .

They did tell me on the phone that sometimes the "easier" applications are being processed first, regardless of the order received. I asked what "easier" meant. They said that the applicants with background info that will take little to no work to verify, are being bumped to the front of the line.

A few months before the next election. Just like this last time around. But no one listened then, so I doubt that enough people will listen next time, either.

If Pat Withrow had won, you would all be carrying right now.

My record is spotless a speeding ticket ten years ago and a fix it ticket 8 years ago. That is it. Still it has been 155 days. Unless they are doing it by month that way. I was early may

I spent 20 minutes with the investigater when I turned in my ap . Answered his question and gave him all the information about my background witch is spotless last speeding ticket 30 years ago no nagetive contact with law enforcement . The sherif office could run any of us through their clets system and check if we had a criminal record in that same 20 minutes . What are they looking for . The way I see it if the state and federal government says I'm responsible enough to own and posess a hand gun what more does the sherif need to know. And we wait

If that were to be the case, I should be carrying already. Since I had applied previously and my file had a handwritten note that said "passed background no good cause"(the interviewing investigator showed it to me), mine should have been one of the "easier" apps to process.

I think that since the election, the priority level on this dropped significantly and the manpower was pulled. I've had my fingers crossed for so long that they hurt now...

Congrats on your ccw.


This is frustrating to say the least. I interviewed 4/23. I emailed the sheriff when he was campaigning and told him I applied befor and that he denied me on lack of good cause only so i asked if he will approve me now since he approve for self protection. nothing have changed in my case he told i shuld be issued a ccw. Now people are being approved past my interview you date just frustrated me and make lose faith in our sheriff. .. again. . .

I'm in the same boat, squeeky clean record, denied by Moore for lack of good cause back in 2010/2011. I called to ask why a friend (and coworker) got the call before me, since we both had interviews on 4/30, but mine was an hour earlier. That was the answer I was given. The only difference between our backgrounds, is my CCW denial by Moore a few years back (again, only for lack of good cause).

Happy for all who have received their CCW .But I take offense to the sherif issuing (slowly and cautiously ) take a look around 5 killed I. Stockton hellow Mcfly we have a problem . The p.d. and sherif department no mater how hard they try can't protect us and the sherif has drug his feet on issuing permits I guess since he can be armed that is all that maters . What kind of additional info or moral character does he need that the state and Feds already ask when you purchase a handgun . Is he so much smarter than them
