I probably have a very low bar. To me, they are on the approved vendor list and their price is listed on the website. That is all I need to know. After all, SCSO accepted my training and qualification certificate. I don't really care about anything else.

Same. I sought the result: qualification certificate with the least cost & max convenience, preferably sooner & close-by, and they delivered.

FTFY.

haha, yes. It took me some googling to find their names on the SJPD page. - https://www.sjpd.org/records/documen...rm-instructors

I am guessing since their main business is security training and CCW is kind of like a side business for them, they just cobbled together a half-assed website with not even the most basic information. 🤷*♂️

FTFY.

It's a bit to drive, but we have a SJPD CCW class scheduled for the weekend of July 22nd in San Leandro. You can get more information about the class at https://www.gunkraft.com/training-ccw_california.htm. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

If you are stuck waiting for your psych exam appointment, search your inboxes and junk mail for the sender "LEPS". This is who the psych exam invite comes from. I actually missed mine for a few weeks until I did that search. They only email once!

Thanks, I had missed it for over 3 weeks

Mine was with www.ASPFirearm.com. They are accommodating.

Helpful to hear that- there's no mention of who or where they are on the website...no way I'd send a dime without vastly more information.

I suppose that it was somewhat of a question and a jump to conclusions all in one. So no, I do know specifically know their requirements for the letters of recommendation. However, a google search reveals stuff like this that specifies inclusion of information indicating that the request is for a CCW license.

Maybe its just me but this rubs me the wrong way. I suspect it requires forced disclosure of CCW, firearms ownership, and intent to carry. This information shouldn't be required to be broadcast. Essentially, this appears to be compelled speech. Maybe I am wrong though, could be something else. But does the sheriffs office verify? Are they going to call the recommenders and confirmed it is their recommendation?

I getcha. Don't read into what's not there, *** tempting as it might be. I the policy directive doesn't say you have to advise them what its for, then you don't have to. Do as you see fit, but I would not mention it for known reason already discussed- same as you feel. G/L.

Does anyone know if 32 ACP is allowed? If anyone by chance has gone through qualification with a Seecamp, can you share what training provider have you chosen and what holster was approved for it? I can't really find a fitted holster for the Seecamp, and most training providers don't allow pocket holsters either.

Your presupposition isn't founded. I haven't read anywhere that the reason need be disclosed as part of/to those writing the reference letter. Do you know it to be the case?

Letters of Reference. Thats very weird. So what are they supposed to say? They are requiring you to disclose to someone that you have a gun and want a CCW. And to have someone support your choice to exercise your 2A rights.

That sounds unconstitutional in so many ways.

For any who care, I just received a reply from Gilroy PD regarding their updated process. They are requiring 3 letters of reference
