What is the procedure for obtaining a CCW in Sacramento County?

Dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I don't think it was you, unless you went to Etchell's class the weekend before last.

Definitely not me then...

I understand all of this, but when you have something that is predictable and easily corrected yet allowed to continue it is irksome. Not to mention the 30 day window. I have zero faith in the Sac Sheriff to do what is right, they don't care. Jones will be no better.

Wonder what will happen if the 30 days is breached?

That may have been me. I do remember being somewhat taken aback at just spending $10 after driving for 45 minutes to be told to go away by someone text messaging on their cell phone. I understand the issues they are having, but I don't have a lot of patience for incompetence or delaying tactics. Every interaction with the govt usually ends up with the same level is frustration. I have no doubt they are doing their best and that IS the problem. I have yet to see an efficient govt agency. This has lived down to my expectations.

Without going back 10 pages, the long waits people are experiencing is with the final stage of the process in actually picking up their permit is that correct? So if I have a 9:30AM appointment to turn in my application, I'm gold if I show up an hour early ya?

AFAIK, appt's to turn them in are on Thursdays. Unless things have changed, I don't think you need to show early to just turn in the app.

This was pretty much the generic response I got as well when I emailed her earlier today.

Cool thanks

Cool thanks

10-15 mins before your appt time should be good enough.

OK, I may have missed this, but I can't see perusing all these posts to find an answer that may not even be here. Where is everyone finding parking near the Sheriff's Dept. on G Street? My appointment's next Thursday (18th) and I don't want to be late. I hate going downtown......No, let me rephrase that....I HATE going downtown because it's always a complete royal pain in the A## trying to find parking. Any tips? Thanks.

p.s. with my luck, I'll probably commit some stupid moving violation while trying to find a crappy parking spot, then have my application denied for that!

Nothing, you'll never see it actually enforced.

I have zero faith in the Sac Sheriff to do what is right, they don't care. Jones will be no better.

If Jones doesn't clean up the problem, a writ of mandate can be filed in Sacramento Superior Court to force them to comply fully with the 90 day/30 day provisions of PC12052.5.

As terrible as this situation, think of it this way. We'll find out if Jones was responsible or McGinness was responsible for the current state of affairs.

There is a two story PUBLIC parking garage right across the street from the Sheriffs Office. If you can't find parking you probably shouldn't have a gun to begin with, lol. The entrance driveway to the parking garage is directly across the street from the actual pedestrian entrance into the Sheriffs Office.

It is paid parking, so bring cash. It's $1.50 for the first like 30 minutes. If the parking lot is full, the meters will not dispense a ticket, but I would recommend simply circling the block and coming back through, because people are always leaving the garage at a pretty steady rate.

Find parking on E or F streets. There's covered public parking at 11th and I also (8 levels)

The parking structure across the street usually has parking spots available, most likely on the roof. Arrive early though. Street parking will probably be cheaper. Figure you should arrive about 15 minutes early to allow for parking and walk over there. Do NOT park in jury parking. Once you're there, just go in the lobby and tell the person behind the thick glass that you have an appointment with Amber. You'll eventually be escorted to the office and you'll go over the application, sign in 3 places and pay your $20.

The appointment itself takes less than 20 minutes.

RP1911 also has good info about parking too. Look there first, then parking structure last as it's most expensive. Make sure you give yourself enough time to park and arrive a few minutes early in the lobby. If Amber's running a little faster than expected, you'll go right in.

Thanks to all above for the parking tips and info. That should help greatly.

Got my initial appointment today (via email, within a couple hours), January 26, 2010. I wish I would have done this a long time ago, but I'm glad to get the ball rolling.
