CCW in Orange County

[slowxturtle]

I just read the post on "CCW in Los Angeles" and it made some references to CCW in OC, but I don't understand what most people seem to already know. How difficult is it to get one in OC as a regular joe schmoe? I've seen the packing.org link but can anyone give more specific pointers? Possibly even a step by step for dummies? Any ways to increase the probabilty for receiving a CCW in OC? Thank you.

It is possible to get a CCW in OC! The best "valid" reason would be to be a frequent shooter, but be sure to document your range sessions since simply telling Trisha during the interview that you shoot a lot isn't gonna cut it.

The CCW is good for 2 years, should take about 2 months to complete and cost around $500. I'm gonna try to get mine shortly.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I've found some additional info using the search tool. Is there some inside joke btw?

I've been thinking about this alot lately also. I need to try to get this done before things possibly go south with a new sherriff. Anyone know of a place in the west anaheim area were I can take the 16 hour class?

You need to be accepted for a CCW before taking any training class.

I thought you could take the class, whether you got the permit or not? It's just not that wise a use of your money if you aren't accepted...

If you "new," then you would also "know" that you only get two options for where and who to take the class with, so don't worry about it.

If West (I've got that wrong - it's actually Bill Hunt I want to leave the old statement ther, how do you do strikethrough?) wins and sticks to his statement; it should get even easier.

i would say skip the training class until they tell you to take it, i got my ccw in riverside and i was going to go take a class advertised at turners to help you get it... i had a valid reason and when the time came around i could go to the sheriffs 4 hours class for $25 or take the 595 class from turners that was two days, i showed up the sheriffs class and we talked for about 15 minutes watched a 10 minute video and when home... a much better use of my time and money if you ask... howeverr oc may be different
