I thought that was under the old Sheriff

Final thoughts on the whole process:

The county is definitely not "dark green"/"Self-defense". I had originally put quite a short GC statement that included mostly "self defense" statements, but Alicia came back and said I had to elaborate. Times, places, dollar amounts, activities that I do that should be deemed worthy of being issued. I also mentioned my work and going to remote locations. I typed up quite an essay and that seemed to work.

At best, it's light green, "Recreation related risks" as I had to mention my hobbies like photography, videography, and shooting, locations I go to, times, and other things like that.

[Ash359]

Yes, that is the GC statement. Call/email Alicia and ask her if you can elaborate more on the GC statement. Then send it to her, she will attach it to the application.

Thanks, hopefully I can work on it a little more.

Edit my Good Cause Statement?

When filing out the application it asked me why I wanted a CCW and I wrote a short blurb about doing a lot of craigslist shopping and how my ATMs are mostly inside 7-11 stores.

But I hadn't thought about all the hiking I have been doing the majority of my life.

Was that little box on the application my GC Statement? Or do I need to attach another document?

If that was it, can I go in and edit it?
Am I just screwed?

Modified guns

So, should my wife apply for one of these permits, she would have to keep that awful plastic trigger on her Glock?

.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.

Congrats

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?

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.

Any tips or examples of character reference letters?
