Good luck I hope by the time they get to you the approvals will be way faster. Im at 18 weeks and 3 days of waiting. I signed up for a class with wes at lti after reading a few comments on here for october so I am looking forward to that.

My interview was 4/23, no calls of any kind yet.

Has anyone been getting hassled for taking their training class prior to approval? I took mine a few months ago along with a buddy who got his approval, and I have heard from one guy who claims they made him retake the class since too much time had elapsed between his class and approval. I have no idea what that time limit is.

I interviewed 6/18 and was told by the investigator it would be 3 to 4 months wait for approval and that I could take the class early. Just took the class this weekend. Hopefully they dont jam me up about the class early.

I asked about this for San Joaquin and they told me since it was there fault for the long delays they would accept my training. Interviewed on 4/16 and training on 4/27.

Congrats 1919A4!

Received a call this morning from my original investigator today to follow up on some of the questions such as the "was I planning on carrying at work".

Is there a 'correct answer' to this question when on the phone interview?

Answer: Investigators are now asking for a copy of your employer's firearm policy before approval.

[slipknot95758]

When they asked you, did you bring the letter from your supervisor stating if you were or were not allowed to carry, I brought in a letter signed by my manager that I was unable to carry at work signed by him and his card stapled to it.

I asked for a bit more movement, and I got some myself.

Took my class on 6/19 approved on 9/22, picked up today 9/23, they didn't blink an eye when I handed them my certificate of completion.

Is there a 'correct answer' to this question when on the phone interview?

I think the 'correct answer' should think is the truthful, however, if you say no, they will ask if it is because of policy or personal reasons; if you say yes, they may want to see the policy and/or have a note from your employer stating it is ok for you to carry at work.
