San Joaquin

The Sheriff only personally interviews applicants when there is something he specifically wants to discuss before making his decision.

Moore didn't interview the Mrs. or I

I believe Sheriff Moore interviews all applicants in person. Will be sure to ask him about AB 1134 and when to apply for renewal...

[BigSig]

Any idea why you were selected for an interview? Is that random ?

[T Mac]

Got the call yesterday that I was approved pending an interview with Sheriff Moore next week. Will be sure to post an update. Applied 12/1/14.

A few days after I was first interviewed, I emailed our company's employee handbook to the investigator, at his request. The handbook specifically stated in at least two sections that they did not allow firearms at work. Still, I was surprised to see no restrictions whatsoever.

That's interesting im suprised there was no restriction placed on your permit.

Look at it this way:

The Tracy Police Chief is an appointed position, the Sheriff is an elected official. There are a few thousand who have and will get their CCW permits in San Joaquin County in the next months/years... who do you think they will vote for Sheriff in the next election? Sheriff Moore. Do you think Sheriff Moore will give up a few thousand votes in his favor by sending CCW applicants and renewals to PDs that are known not to issue under 'self defense' grounds? That will piss off a lot of the CCW applicants/renewals and will be political suicide.

Also, the Tracy police chief, Gary Hampton announced his retirement last April. He will be gone by March 2016. Who's to say the next police chief won't have similar views on CCWs as Sheriff Moore?

I know at this point we can only offer up assumptions, but for those of you in this thread who have already received their CCW's through SJCSO: do you think with the passage of AB1134, there will be any chance of being "grandfathered in" come renewal time for those of us who have already been issued through the county...pre-AB1134?

Tracy-based CCW permit holder here, coming up on my first year of carrying, and if it comes time to renew and we have to do the dance with TPD Chief....this whole effort may have been a one trick pony.

You would need to check your employers written policy on the subject. Some employers, like any business, can refuse to have weapons brought on tho their premises. It is your personal decision to carry but it's also their decision if they will allow it.

When you turned your paperwork in were you asked during the interview if you planned on carrying at work? When I was asked I already knew my company's policy on the subject so I told him I would not be planning on carrying at work. Thats when he filled out the restriction on my forms. I was also told I would need it in writing from the boss that I could not carry during work hours. If it is in your company policy that it's ok to carry you would also need a letter of approval from the boss.

Still, if your employer does not allow carry at work, don't carry at work. Or if you do then they fire you. It is not their business to sign off on your CCW application and not the Countiy's right to ask them to do so.

Okay, thanks. I find it odd that you need to have your work involved with your very personal decision to carry or not.

Normally they are work related. If your company wont sign off on you carrying a firearm then you would be restricted from carrying while at work.

bst1208,
First off, that is great news, congratulations.
You mention restrictions, what sort of restrictions could they impose? Are some people getting some kind of restriction?

Finally got my permit this morning. No restrictions. First applied 10/06/2014.

Also, if you are including a gun you just purchased (less than 2 months), be sure to bring your DROS paperwork as they do instant checks if the guns are registered under your name. A friend who I came with had this situation where the new gun is not showing up in the DOJ database yet. Luckily the purchase receipt with the SN was still in his wallet and used that. Othewise he had o come back to add the new gun and pay $10. They said it takes up to 2 months for the info to show up at DOJ.

Congrats on getting your permit!!
