Just spoke to Professional Standards and they did confirm that you need an appointment for the renewal. Said that 1-2 months ahead of renewal date is adequate

Called the sheriffs office and they finished feb and start march this next week march of 16

I used Valley Defense and would recommend them to anyone looking for an instructor. Their shooting qualification is short and simple.

Agreed. And the Day 2 training portion is excellent.

Your interview question was correctly answered above.

As for adding a new weapon after you have already taken the initial 16 hour course, its short and simple. Each instructor has their own requirements for qualification but you will not need to take the course again or do any class work. It's just the shooting qualification portion. You just need to show that you can accurately shoot the weapon you wish to add.

Excellent! Thank you!

And to qualify on a new weapon means running an additional 8-16hr course, yes?

The first interview is very informal; mine took five minutes. He is just verifying what is on your application. As stated upthread, that will be your only interview unless something comes up and Sheriff Moore would like you to come in to discuss. As you stated, the investigator will call in about 10-12 months to confirm whether there are any changes and then if all is okay, you move up the chain.

Then you wait.............................................. .............................................

About 10 to 12 months after your interview, an investigator will call you to ask if anything has changed since you filled out your application (address, phone number, email address, etc.). You can give him the serial numbers of the guns you qualified with (or plan to qualify with) at that time. He or she will run the serial numbers to make sure those guns are registered to you. If they are, they will then list those guns on your permit. You can change them at any time after your permit is issued for a $10 processing fee (but you'll have to qualify with the new guns you want to add).

You need to start the process by calling for an interview. You'll bring your application with you to that appointment. An investigator will sit down with you and go over your application with you. That's all the interview entails. There is no interview after that unless the sheriff wants to meet with you personally.

Ok, the pieces are starting to come together now, thank you! So I call, make an appointment, and that is the big sit down interview, yes? The ~10-12mo later talk with the investigator is just to confirm info and make any changes?

I was incorrect stating you did not need an appointment for renewal interview. That was correct before but not anymore. I was told yesterday when picking up renewal CCW you now need an appointment for EVERYTHING. Asked me when I arrived if I had an appointment. Wasn't required before but is now.

How organized is the stack of apps I wonder? I picture adding one as described above would be difficult....unless they have a pretty good filing system perhaps?

How long after handing in the app do you generally have your interview? How is the interview different than sitting down with the investigator that happens like a year later?

What about CCW in San Mateo County?

You might want to try this thread here?

I think most counties have their own thread and that is probably the best place to get information for that county.

[mendezbp]

I had one when I filled out the application, but 2 different ones when I took the class. I was told you don't have to have one on the application.

You understand correctly. The officer that interviews you will confirm that. As you purchase your firearms call and have them add to your app because they will check to see they are registered.

Ok great! Thanks for the helpful info.

I think you can get a 3 year or something online from DMV but if you go in, I believe you can request a 7 or 10 year one. I cannot remember but that is what I did. Also make an appointment if you are going to go in, I walked in and it took forever waiting just to get a print out that took all of 5 minutes.

[Retired2013]

So if I understand you correct, I can fill out my app right now....with just the 1 handgun. And when I take the course with all 3 guns (since I'll have bought the other 2 by then), the diploma will have all 3 and they will all automatically go on the permit?

Just don't want to get told I only get 1 because that was all that was on my original application, you know?
