Adding a 2nd gun to CCW ridiculousness!

[Capt.Jim]

I bought a small frame revolver about a little over a month ago for easy concealment reasons.

- So, first, as required I waited for 7 days cool-off period even though I have another handgun in my possession as a CCW.

- Then I paid $50 to qualify with my gun by an NRA certified instructor.

- Then he sent my qualification papers to Sheriffs Dept and two days later I called them if they received it and they said "Yes".
So I asked when I can come to get my new paper with this new gun added to my permitted carry list.
They said we will call you...
It was 3 weeks ago...

So as a CCW who already carrying legally, after finding a different gun to carry at a gun shop it has been 5 weeks nearly and I am still waiting with no idea how many more days this ridiculous process will take...

Oh well...

Sounds like California! So glad I left there!!

You need to move north (or east) I have many fond memories of California, but thankfully they are of a distant past in a simpler time.

Same here. But this state is starting to worry me some!

Come to Michigan! Now that our last governor has moved to Berkley were doing just fine.

REPUBLIC OF KALIFORNIA

NUFF SAID.

I'm surprised that you can get a CC license in the Republik of Kalifornia. I lived in L.A. until I was 35 (1992), and I never heard of anyone ever getting one unless they were a movie star or a politician. You must live up north in a somewhat more rural county.
In spite of most rank and file LEO's seeming to be in favor of concealed carry by good citizens, mangement & "city hall" seems to be against it, so that long wait is probably standard operating procedure for issuing concealed-carry paperwork-- dragging their feet just because they can.

Permits? We don't need no stinking permits!

 

[Linejudgemick]

I'm glad where I live we just have a "Concealed Carry License" and open carry is legal if one chooses to.

 

[hotrod150]

In Washington there is no testing (written or practical) required for getting a "license to carry concealed pistol". The down side of that is that some states (most notably Oregon) do not have reciprocal carry privileges with Washington. Washington also does not require that you list which gun(s) will be carried when exercising the privileges of that license.

Some counties such as Kern County, Fresno County and others (central & northern CA counties) are still pretty CCW friendly. Its the southern CA counties like LA County and Orange County where its nearly impossible to get a CCW.

 

[PatAz]

I'm sure glad we don't have to go thru all that garbage here.

The only reason I step foot in California is for that stupid mouse and now my youngest is 12 those days are numbered.

Darn it I forgot about grandchildren ! I guess I will be making more trips in the future to see the mouse and breath some clean air.

I think I know the answer, but.....
If you DO secure a ccw from a more "gun tolerant" county, does that allow one to carry in ALL counties of CA?

 

[Capt.Jim]

I live by the beach in Central CA, near San Francisco...
and yes, somehow I was able to get a CCW.
But after all that hoopla just to ADD a NEW GUN to my CCW waiting for over a month and still no light at the end of the tunnel is the issue here.
God knows how long this will take?
I mean what is the problem?
My CCW is current, gun is in my possession, I qualified with it as required, Sheriff's Dept have the paperwork...
Gun bought legally and is in the list of Permitted guns list for CA.
So, shortly what is the wait for????
That's what I don't get!

 

[wheelyfun66]

You mean that each individual gun that you wish to carry has to be on your permit?
I'd be screwed, as I buy, sell, and trade guns frequently!
Pray for change in your state Govt's mindset! (or get more voters to the polls!)

Even MA is better than that!

No you can only list max of 3 guns on your permit in CA...

You may own 100 handguns but only carry concealed 3 of them listed on your permit...

Oh what a joy !

 

[Jessie]

The problem is the people that keep getting re-elected there. Until they change, nothing else will.
As mentioned, your local Sheriff is dragging his feet because he can and its not high priority for them. Probably when you queried them about it you went to the bottom of the pile also
