Good tips

Has anyone had an investigator, at the initial interview, ask for a tax return to provide proof of business ownership? I declined and provided a copy of my resellers permit and business license.

They told me all I needed was a copy of my business licence when I received my follow up phone call about my employers carry policy. I was approved with that information.

*** Your permit has the picture they took on your first interview day, so no need to wear a tie, but still you shouldn't look like a "scrub" (it is the Professional Standards Division after all.)

Question to other CG members who have already been through the initial interview process...did you have your picture taken? I did NOT, curious if there are any others who did not have their picture taken...

mojoe24. On my initial interview day, the Cadet working the PSD reception desk put my personal information up on the white board in the investigators area (name, CDL, DOB), had me stand to the side of the information, then snapped a pic of me. That pic (headshot only) was laminated at the bottom right corner of my CCW, and my thumbprint on the bottom left corner.

I interviewed 4/30, maybe they changed the process based on the high level of applications and turn downs. I was only describing how it went for me.

I had mine taken when I had my initial interview in early April. They took it again when I went to pick up the CCW and used the newer one.

May 7th Interview date

Interviewed May 02nd (7 months today) and no contact. Hopefully not to much longer if May 07th has been given the thumbs up (congrats Life Is Good).

I am just glad to see May come after all those months spent on April.

Applied for Oregon CCW (have second home there). App process took 20 minutes (paperwork, photo and fingerprints) Told to expect CCW in mail in two weeks.
Hope to get Oregon within two weeks, Got Utah in 5 weeks. Interviewed in CA 27 weeks ago still no word. The irony.

I'm at 30 weeks still

Again why do we have to wait this long . If it took this long to get a marriage license , or building permit or anything else from the county we would not put up with it . People need their permits to protect themselves .If you can buy a handgun you have already proven that you are not a prohibited person . If you have a handgun safety card you know how to operate it .If it is good enough for the state I should be good enough for the county .

Had my appointment in December. I'm not sure whether I should consider 6-7 months for a decision or now perhaps they are going to aim for 90 days after the most recent decision. My meeting went fine and the officer was very personable.

[MWD_Kelly_A187]

Does anyone have the answer to this question? Since the recent decision on the 90 days (processing of applications) what does it mean for those of us well past the 90 day mark?

Thanks

Got our Oregon CCW's in the mail. When I look at the dates on the card it took them 2 days to process and approve! We are 193 days for San Joaquin. Really a slap in the face at this point. Still waiting....and waiting...and waiting...
