Well I finally did it, why not. Filled out application for Contra Costa County and just dropped it into the post office slot.

Wish me luck, and I will update here with progress.

The key is whether you have more than "self-defense"/"personal protection" as your Good Cause statement. With CoCoCo, you'll need a LOT more than just that. If you've got a LOT more, great, you might have a chance. If not, well, some people have time & money to burn, and you've just joined them....

Good luck to you, OP! I'm fortunate to live in a county where "self defense" is accepted as GC.

Of course that may change after the Peruta ruling. We'll see...

My 70 year old father, who owns a business in Oakland, regularly carries around large sums of cash, lives in Alamo, is ex navy, and is constantly in sketchy neighborhoods, was denied recently by the sheriff.

Concord PD also told me to pound sand.

I wouldn't even waste the money on the Livescan personally.

Update: Live Scan scheduled...

Contra Costa CCW

Nothing ventured nothing gained, OP. Worst case scenario you're denied and spent a few dollars trying. Worth the effort. Best success!

Update: Live Scan completed...

[CalArkansas]

keep up with the updates... I will soon be applying for one in CCC. I only want to carry when I am out shooting videos and such by myself.

Has anyone actually got as far as to get a interview in contra Costa?

OP-Definitely keep us updated and let us know the gist of your GC statement.

Thanks and I'll pop a bottle of the good stuff in your honor if you pass the audition!
