I have heard of a few approvals, and a couple of denials so far. Notification is by letter if denied, telephone for interview requests and approvals.

I hear the Sheriff wants to "meet personally" with some to discuss their Good Cause. I'd tell him to pound sand and make a decision based on what was provided on the application (given it was "self defense").

I have my appointment on Tuesday to drop off my app. I have my packet filled out and ready to go but am wondering about the cover letter. I have the cover letter that came from here and I'm wondering if its a little challenging? Is this the cover letter that everyone is using?
Also looked at the good cause's and see quite a few. In the first couple of post on this thread someone said the "two known" causes that work. What are the two?

I was the third CGer to apply and have heard nothing. Over 60 days and counting. Curious why I haven't.

That is the point.

I just walked in from dropping off my application with Sgt. Palmer. I thought it was great how he was very helpful and did not just sign and say good by. We went over the entire packet and made sure everything looked correct and was written in the proper way. Hopefully the rest of the process went as well as today.


I need your email Brandon. I have all my paperwork scanned and ready to send.

Day 55 and waiting. I did get a few phone call from Sgt. Palmer about my business and needing other papers to support my "Good Cause". I can only wonder, is it good or bad?

Is it true that the sheriff can only issue so many(limited number) of permits per year?

Was uoc'ing(yeah yeah) in stockton and got pulled over, said "a bunch of guys from calguns.net put in for ccw's any idea if the majority got denied or approved", and he said something about only being able to issue so many a year, and I heard criteria and policy.
I'm wondering if thats the sheriffs or doj's? oh well.

Looking back I don't see why some deputy-s would know if permits were issued or not, kind of a stupid question to be asking random s.j. sheriff deps.

But they were very friendly and cool about it. I'm anxious to see if most people get theirs or not.

I'm sure it isn't something somebody broadcasts tho' .

Sheriff Pazin of Merced County limited CCW new applications to a certain amount of people.

Hard to say, but I am slightly concerned. My impression is that people with more than "self defense" are going to be put through the mill.

At least that would be some progress. I'm still stuck in the silo.

Look at post #1 of this thread. It is located at the bottom. 1 of the 2 attachments.

[Japjeep]

THANKS MAN, so do i download both attachments and turn them in with the app?

One is the cover sheet, the other is your "receipt" (basically). 2 copies of the receipt... 1 for you, 1 for them. This is documentation of when your 90 days starts, so it's important.

Just read through the thread (1st post in general) and follow the instructions. You'll make it through When in doubt, ask. It's hard to "take back" something that's in writing, so if you're unsure about something, don't submit it. Get clarification first. All that said, for me, the process so far has been fairly straight forward.

Complete app(DO NOT SIGN YET), make appointment, submit app, pay the man, get receipts, livescan, review app, handshake, then wait.... and wait....

Hello Brandon,

I received a reply from SJSO, I have been trying to get in contact with you. I have emailed you some information and was woundering if you could call me. My number is attached to my email.

Thanks, Steve
