Not to complain I have had my permit for over a year and starting to think of renewing . And I'm trying to decide if I want to change guns I have on my permit . Has anyone asked why we are limited to 3 firearms I know some IA alow more than that . Just thought it would free up time at the sheriff office not having to spend time adding and subtracting firearms from permit. Is it something to bring to the sheriff's attention ?

Not sure why the limit is there and I'm curious to find out now, but I know someone who carry's all three at all times. It never occurred to me to carry more than one and possibly a few extra mags.

Though not your specific issue, I only had two guns listed when I applied. I didn't feel comfortable with my full size on there. But then I later decided to go ahead and do it. The only thing I did is bring the gun with me and qualify during my CCW training.

When I brought in the class certificate to pickup my CCW it had the third gun listed on it (two from my original submission, and the third new one). The clerk simply took the class certificate and typed up my permit with all three guns listed as listed on the class certificate.

I'm curious how your deal turns out since the sheriff's signature is already done.

Sheriff's PSD does go by the list of handguns on the CCW Training Certificate and not what was initially listed on the application.

I've had a couple of colleagues that have had a few different instances:

One only had 1 weapon on the application and was reminded by the BI on the initial interview that they area allowed up to 3.

Another had changed 2 of the handguns by the time he took the CCW Training and those were the ones listed on the Permit.

Thank you. I ended up calling the Sheriff's PSD, and this is exactly what they told me. When I asked specifically about training, she said, "You only need to do the shooting part, and then bring in the certificate showing that you qualified with the guns you want to add."

I still don't know, or haven't heard from, anyone who has done this, but this is good enough for me. I ordered a no-lock S&W 642 to replace my SIG P238, so I'll have .45, .40, and .38 spl +P on my permit. When it comes in, I'll go through this substitution process and let people know how it went (if anyone's interested). Thanks again, geebot.

Here's the actual process:
1) Qualify for the weapon/s you want to add to your permit via one of the approved vendors. You will need to show proof of your CCW and pay their fee. No class involved.

2) Get issued a certificate from the CCW instructor of your proficiency.

3) Head to SJ Sheriff's PSD during business hours to fill out the modification application form and pay the fee of $10. M-F 8am to 5pm.

4) Pick up the new CCW Permit after getting a call that it's ready in about 2 weeks.

Good Luck.

Modification Process

Has anyone here changed the guns listed on their permit prior to renewal? If so, what was involved in the process and how did it go?

Better to get your training that will help put money in your pocket!!

Plus when they type up the permit, it'll be for the day you pick up! So the time won't start until you actually have it in hand.

One of the guys I was talking to was actually approved sometime in January but he couldn't find a class to get training until now.

Imagine how he felt not be able to pick up his permit for 2-3 months??

I edited my response. I decided to take a long lunch. It's good advice, and I was able to get training pre-scheduled. [emoji3]

I'm so jealous! I got the call last week and did training on the weekend. But I finally got some Microsoft training this week and must take it. :/

So I picked up my permit today; was really surprised/happy to see multiple people waiting to pick up their permits and a couple people came in to start their renewal process. One guy was there to do a modification but I didn't get to talk to him...

The lady who was doing the permits was running all over the place trying to get paperwork done. Kind of felt sorry for her. Took about 30 minutes or so to get my permit.

There was a guy there who didn't get his permit though. Kind of sucked and it seemed he was approved but was turned away because his training cert was to old (circa 2014). Honestly I would've called to make sure it would still be accepted/valid so you didn't have to waste time going there. Heck I called to make sure the training/cert I did in January of this year would still be valid.

Well if anyone of the people who picked up their permits are CalGunners, Congrats!!!

So a new round of training is required in addition to merely qualifying with the gun(s) you want to add?

Apologies, I must have read your initial question wrong. To the best of my knowledge, livin_in_209 is correct.

[livin_in_209]

Congratulations 31smc7 and GovGeek... I'm so happy to see they are still approving ccw's.... I still have 5 months or so to wait...come on August apps

Congrats as well 31smc7 and GovGeek don't worry Ceeceerider71 you will have that little card soon enough!!

I believe this is correct you have to go to a recommended training facility and qualify with the new weapon . Once you qualify the training facility will print you a certificate and with that you take it to your sheriff's dept. To change or update a weapon after your CCW has been issued it is a 10 dollar charge

You're going t have to qualify with the weapon you want to add on your permit. When you get your certificate for the training and qualification, you will need to call PSD to setup and appointment to go in and modify your permit. Charge for the change/update is $10.
