For anybody who's recently completed their training course and got final approval to pick up your permit -
How long did it take between those two events?
I first applied end of December 2019. I completed everything and all turned in on 11-23-20 (massive delays due to covid and wildfires, classes delayed). I'm hoping to have permit in hand by the one year mark.

This is accurate. 3-4 weeks from today would put me at 7 months plus change.

It is frustrating to wait, but it is far better than it has ever been in the past. I'd shoot Alicia a pleasant email and see. Paperwork sometimes gets lost or misplaced. I know I've done it.

Good to know. I'm about 3 weeks into the wait. Looks like I don't really need to log in and check daily. Watched pot never boils!

Sounds like they have sped things up, slightly. I applied 7/8

[mickeymilz]

Yup. Never heard anyone on here or from Alicia about interviews.

So they are still requiring three GMC letters? Are they still doing interviews?

How long ago did you submit the initial application?

[707electrician]

Turned in my three letters of GMC and certificate of CCW course completion. I naively expected to pick up my permit this week. Next week at the latest. Alicia said this last step for FINAL approval takes 3-4 weeks. L.... O..... L.

I took the training at Ukiah Gun Club. It was a nice easygoing classroom and shooting range qualifications. It is also 45 minutes from Healdsburg.

I just scheduled with Showket Training. One 8 hour day. $300.
