Must be San Bernardino county.

 

It's an Orange County permit through the Sheriff's Dept.

How long is it good for?

It's good for a whopping two years then renewal. Typical CA, eh?

What were the hoops and hold ups?

The normal CA wait times for anything involving govt. The biggest part that really ate me up was the time from when I did my Livescan (finger prints) to when they handed me my permit was 19 weeks. Paperwork said 10-12 weeks. I sent feral emails to the OCSD at the 13 week mark and they told me they are still waiting. At 19 weeks I email back and was quite a bit more forceful with them on their timeline. They kept telling me they were waiting for DOJ or FBI back ground checks. I told them they were feeding me nonsense and to look into it...............please! I got an email back the next day saying they have it all and got my permit 5 days later at the OCSD. I think they were just sitting in a stack of CCW files/permits and didn't give a phuck. In the end the whole process is very flawed and takes far too long.

Congrats! Your perseverance is an example to us all.

Thanks. It does feel good. Wish ,ore people from the area would get it.

Congrats on the new permit!

 

Nice , cant wait to get mine !

 

9 months to get the license. 9 years if you actually put it to use...

Good Luck

 

Way to stick with it.

 

Man, you got the Golden Ring.

Be careful about LA County, permit or not.

 

Congrats! Your perseverance is an example to us all.

 

Can you actually carry now or it is still a some more hoops? You should move to Arizona as soon as you are eligible; i.e. retirement or a juicy government gig.

 

Yes. I can carry now. But here is the quandry I put myself into. My wife and I have two cars. Hers and my work truck. My work truck is a company owned truck and company policy states no firearms in the vehicle at any time PERIOD! I've been there for 12 years, make real good money and benefits and have seniority. The thing is it is all I have to drive for personal use, which I'm allowed to do after work and on the weekends. I won't carry my weapon on me much in that truck as I value my career. Will mostly carry when we are in my wife's car which we use mostly on the weekend when we are all doing things together. However, I will be ordering a new 2015 Ram 2500 Mega Cab 4x4 next week but it is a 6+ week wait.

Btw, I will not be moving to AZ. And if I did the only place I'd move in that state is somewhere between the Flagstaff, Sedona, Williams areas. Our families ultimate goal is to move to the Bozeman, MT area.

 

Move to WV, they are trying to pass the law making the 2nd Amendment your CCW permit lol. After all if you can legally buy a gun you should be good to carry it concealed or otherwise.
