Has anyone been issued/denied a CCW by SLO Co SO this year? If so, can you post or PM me (communications kept in strict confidence) what your Good Cause was like, but not so much detail as to ID yourself?

I've been involved with making the CA CCW GC map for ~7 years and just trying to make sure it is accurate, that SLO is light green.

ETA: If anyone is thinking about applying with SLO SO or a SLO Co city's PD, I strongly suggest you go over the advice I developed and posted for CoCoCo SO applicants in the first 3 posts at:

Im outside city limits up above newsom canyon a bit to the SE of town, It looks like I would have a pretty good chance of getting one being in a rural area and working in the agricultural industry having read through some of the thread. Out in AZ we just carried with the whole constitutional carry so that was pretty convenient, but SLO county is stilll better then SB county where I grew up.

- Registered residence in unincorp county - good, apply to county
- Unless your employer will submit a letter necessitating the CCW for the rural work in ag, this is irrelevant. SLO Co won't buy off on it. You need a supporting letter.

How far outside the city? Like lopez lake area? Nipomo area? Just go to the slo county sheriffs office and they will take care of you.

I understand that, my permanent would be there as I am a CA resident, not AZ, just was curious if I apply in AG or with the county?

In CA you can apply with either the County Sheriff or the City Chief of Police in the City in which you reside, if one exists. Read through this thread history to see which is best based on others' experience.

It is based off of your permanent address location. You cant use a temporary address for a CCW

Hey everyone, I had a question in regards to CCW in SLO county, I will be moving up to a property in Arroyo Grande (though outside city limits) where I will be working while I am in school. Does that mean I need to apply with the local county? I have never applied for a CCW in CA (been living in AZ on a ranch for the last 5 years, moving back for family/ school reasons) and not sure how to go about it.

Templeton does not have a police department. The SLO County Sheriff services that area so a resident's application would be submitted directly to Ian Parkinson's office.

That is correct, I applied directly through the Sheriffs office. I was replying to the post above. I was talking about those who live in Paso or Atascadero where there is a local PD.

It is my understanding that Ian doesnt make the decision for city permits, that comes down to the local PD where the application must go through first. Ian would only issue those in the city based on the PDs recommendation.

Unfortunately, you don't help dispel the notion that Sheriff Parkinson doesn't like to issue to city residents: Templeton is not an incorporated city in SLO Co.

(1) Business permits, based upon the location of the business, are good for only 90 days. Not sure how the costs compare per year.

(2) Lots of sheriffs choose not to issue them. (Don't know if that is legal or not...)

(3) I don't recall if Business based CCW permits holders are limited to carrying within the county that issued it.

Bottom line: business based CCW permits aren't worth it. JMO

Quick question. In SLO county do they issue to non-residents of the county that primarily work in the county? I live in SB county but work in SLO county 99% of the time. We all know the non issueing sheriff in SB county. I believe my line of work would have a justified good cause. Any info would be appreciated.

There is a cutout in the rules for something like this. As a resident in ****ty SB county i tries but working retail and no managers to sign off on my appeal it was no go. Depends on your work and how 2A your boss is
