Just got my approval, and had to pay an extra $300. Picking it up in a couple weeks. So it took from 5/1 to 8/25 for a new application. I guess it could have been a week faster if I already had my reference letters done. I still need to turn in two passport photos.

Congrats!! Why the extra $300?

All I can say is do things as they are requested. Training certificates are only good for 30-60 days, so if you do it too early, it won't be good.

Mine was pretty much a month on the dot, around May time-frame I believe.

Appreciate the feedback.

Any tips or examples of character reference letters?

Is permit pickup only available on Wednesdays? I'm looking at the appointment calendar and that seems to be the case but just wanted to double check.

Just applied yesterday

So I just sent in my online application yesterday and I'm reading in here about calibers that are accepted. Is .380 not an option? I have a Beretta 96 that I got used and it's had so many parts replaced it's sure to be rejected, but my other handgun is a Bersa Firestorm in .380 that is almost brand new with nothing done to it.

Anyone know if I'm DOA in this process?

Yes

.380 is an option. I currently have my P230 on my permit without issue. Hope this helps. - Daze

Thanks, that's a relief. I'm going to have to call them because in the email they ask me for a couple utility bills.

Everything is paperless, and the PG&E is in my wife's name.
