Dress like your avatar and they'll hand it to you right there!
 My son went dressed as Ash a couple Helloweens ago, if you need any help, might have some of the costume leftover. J/K Good luck with the interview, print out any crime stats in the area your business is in. If it's bad, that should help justify why you need to be armed. If you deal with a lot of cash, bring bank deposit statements to show how regular you have lots of cash on you. |

I will also pull crime stats. Thanks! |

Is it too late to donate to the Sheriff's reelection fund, as that's where you'll get the most bang for your bucks!
As above, plus I'd have any documentation to show off how great of a guy you are - any veterans stuff, firearms training schools you may have been to, licenses you possess from other states, ranges you're a member of or shooting competitions you've been in. Do you volunteer anyplace? Volunteer hour logs or such would make you look like a pillar of the community. Look at the license from the Sherriff's viewpoint. If you had someone who was at risk of being robbed, was well trained / experienced with guns, and was a good member of the community, you'd feel much more at ease allowing them a license than otherwise. Or just bribe them - that seems to be the prevailing way in CA! |

UPDATE
There IS NO interview anymore. They took a pic, prints, and she was even nice enough to check on an interfamily transfer I submitted in Dec. Next step is the approval email (I hope) then the class, then the permit. They were all surprisingly friendly, and there were a lot of people there working on their permits too. |

Hopefully you won't have any issues getting it and you'll be the next CCW holder in CA! Good luck and go to the class dressed like Ash!

I really want to try for an LA County permit since I could have a good cause statement that is similar to many of those getting approved under the new standards, but I don't know how high of a bar they are setting for "good moral character". I highly suspect I wouldn't make the cut.

I’m still trying to decide whether I want to get my ccw. At times I feel like saying to hell with asking for permission, I’m wearing my sig today, but other times I think it’s not worth getting caught with it and risk losing the ability to own firearms anymore. I’m in riverside county and from my understanding it isn’t too difficult to get a permission slip to carry.

I'm farther up north, and mine took 8 months. Interview was over the phone, wasn't really a lot of "why should you have it?" was more of "do you smoke weed, have you been arrested since your application, any reason why you shouldn't have it?" Come by in a few days and pick it up. Good bye, be safe.
I did my non-resident Arizona permit and had it in 8 days. No interview, just fingerprint cards and a background NICS type check. And a much nicer card than the one from my county that looks like it was made in Mom's basement. Hope you hear good news soon. |

Not sure what standard LA is using. |

8 hours of training took about 6 hours. Mostly fluff, but some good info on some laws that I was already aware of, but good to be reminded of. Written test was a joke. A kid with passing familiarity with guns could have passed. Shooting test was the same. 5 shots 7 yards, 5 shots 5 yards, then 3 shots 3 yards strong hand, 2 shots weak hand in a silhouette. I hate testing requirements and don't believe there should be any, but if you can't pass that you legit have no business carrying lol.
Pick up my permit in 2 weeks. |

I think it's mostly the rural counties that don't require the gun to be registered to you (I think Sacramento County is on the list, too, but I don't recall for sure). It's a stupid requirement not mandated by law. It's especially stupid given that the act of adding an unregistered gun to your permit registers the gun with DOJ. There are IAs that can get retarded on what they allow, like requiring it to be on the roster, requiring no mods to the gun at all as manufactured, except maybe finish, not allowing anything .50-cal. and up, or over .45, not allowing anything under .25 or .25 and under, no rifle caliber pistols, and more, along with limiting the number of guns that can be put on the permit. I think LA County is requiring the registration part and limiting it to three guns, but other than that, they don't sound like they are imposing other requirements. |

Isn't pistol registration a state requirement, totally separate from CCW? I'm pretty sure it is. No requirements here outside of qual, so it could be worse. It's even okay if it's off roster which is nice. |

It's even okay if it's off roster which is nice. No, unregistered pistols are legal to own and possess, and many gun owners own one or more of them. There was never a requirement to retroactively register pistols, just like there is none for rifles once registration during transfers became mandatory. The mandate for registration of pistols during transfer or importation did not become universal until the late 1990s (I think intrafamilial transfers were the last to be exempt). IIRC, requiring an FFL for most pistol transfers did not occur until the early 1990s; before that, FTF private transfers were allowed. Registration of pistols from a dealer being required goes back the 1920s or 1910s, but there was no requirement to use one for a transfer for a long time. Registration was on paper, so many guns registered this way do not appear as having been registered if they were to be looked up in AFS, as many of these paper records were never converted to electronic ones (although I think I heard that DOJ is stepping this up). I'm sure some paper records no longer exist for various reasons, so those guns will also essentially be unregistered, even if purchased through a dealer. However, some crimes add enhancements if the pistol is unregistered, even if you lawfully acquired the pistol in a manner exempt from registration and lawfully possess the pistol, such as laws against carrying a firearm or possessing a loaded firearm in public. They automatically get bumped up to felonies for the first offense. Some IAs don't care if the pistol is registered, cognizant of the fact that adding to the permit registers the gun and that plenty of unregistered guns are lawfully owned and possessed by people who may wish to carry them, while also generally having a pro-carry disposition; the majority of IAs do care, though, and have the registration requirement to add a pistol to the permit. |

The more Left-leaning or urban a county is, the more likely they'll restrict the number on the permit, have restrictions on gun types and calibers, have restrictions on modifications, require registration, add conditions to the permit, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You can list as many as you want, but you have to "qual" with each one and they have to be registered of course. The qual with each weapon was in that big “gunmaggedon” package several years ago. Doesn’t bother me, but I don’t mind the classroom instruction either. Kern County let’s you have 10 weapons on your license. Back in the day, if you lived in an incorporated township that had its own police department, you had to go through them first, and that’s what I did. My township only allows three handguns on their permit, but is otherwise unrestricted. Our police chief is pro-citizen carry. I could go through the county, but you have to start over from scratch and it’s a pricy process. I’m not going to lie—choosing the three is always a struggle! Me, my wife, and her parents all go together—we re-qual in April. It’s always a pleasant morning/afternoon. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In most of CA self defense is not going to be good enough, though it might be in Riverside. It wasn't enough in San Diego On the Inland Empire gun owners website they say to have a good cause statement ready, so I guess self defense isn’t enough. But that’s CA for us, the anti gunners make the rules. |

The majority of counties accept self-defense as good cause. A bunch more require some sort of minimal good cause beyond self-defense, but nothing most people can't meet. Riverside County falls under one of those two.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
UPDATE There IS NO interview anymore. They took a pic, prints, and she was even nice enough to check on an interfamily transfer I submitted in Dec. Next step is the approval email (I hope) then the class, then the permit. They were all surprisingly friendly, and there were a lot of people there working on their permits too. I have a good friend and SD business owner who has a permit now. He tends to drive too fast and has illegal tint, so he meets CHP officers quite often. Each one is amazed to see a permit in the hands of someone not in the club. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That is such a huge change from when I went to the county office years back. The reception cunt literally laughed at me and my friend, saying we had zero chance of getting a permit. Each step was made particularly difficult so you actually had less than zero chance before even starting out. I have a good friend and SD business owner who has a permit now. He tends to drive too fast and has illegal tint, so he meets CHP officers quite often. Each one is amazed to see a permit in the hands of someone not in the club.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What county allows for unlimited? Ventura allows for up to 5. The first time I got stares since many had one and I had five The last time many had up to 5 Jeez dude, it'd be hard to pick just five. I mean I'd want at least one snubby, one full size 1911, one Glock, then a backup for each one in case it breaks or something. It'd be easy to carry more than 5 guns at once. A full size on each hip, a sub compact on each ankle, a snubby in each front pocket and 1 under each arm in shoulder holsters. That's 8 right there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In most of CA self defense is not going to be good enough, though it might be in Riverside. It wasn't enough in San Diego Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: You should—if you think you’ll have the right mindset. I’m not judging you: I don’t even know you! The classroom instruction is an eye-opener for many folks. I really like being able to carry. It can change how you go about doing things. Little changes—no big deal—and for me, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks! Yeah, I’m looking into the process to get my ccw. I’ve looked into the Riverside County Gun Owners site. What Im wondering is why do I need a good cause to carry? Is self defense for the sake of defending myself and/or family not good enough of a reason? I have come up with a good cause statement, but it just bothers me that self defense alone isn’t a good enough reason. In most of CA self defense is not going to be good enough, though it might be in Riverside. It wasn't enough in San Diego So what was your good cause if not self defense? |
