Hey Rick, what is that pen?
This is pretty much my every day carry. When my ccw permit comes it will improve greatly!
Yea Rick, its definitely a WTH kinda thing. Of course, the 3 attempts thing was what I was told by someone who tried for one, so you never know. I did look it up today for my county, to see what it really was and compare with what you said. This is what it said:
"Applicants must be able to demonstrate that good cause exists for the issuance of a CCW permit. Good cause is defined as:Convincing evidence of a clear and present danger to life, or of great bodily harm to the applicant, his/her spouse, or dependent child, which cannot be adequately dealt with by existing law enforcement resources, and which danger cannot be reasonably avoided by alternative measures, and which danger would be significantly mitigated by the applicant's carrying of a concealed firearm.
What You Will Need to Do
- Complete the CCW Application
- Call the Sheriff's CCW Unit to schedule an interview. The interview will determine your need and good cause for the issuance of a CCW permit. You must bring the following to your interview:
- Completed CCW license application and CCW interview worksheet.
- Copy of your birth certificate and/or naturalization papers.
- Copy of your California drivers license.
- Copies of two of your most recent utility bills or any other sufficient proof of full-time residency within the County of Riverside as indicated on your application.
- Three letters of character reference (originals). Letters must contain the writers name, address, and phone number where they can be reached during business hours. In the body of the letter the writer should state that he or she is aware the applicant is applying for a CCW permit with the Riverside County Sheriffs Department. Letters from family members or employers are not acceptable.
- Copy of military discharge DD214 form, if applicable.
- Two recent passport photos.
- If you are successful with your initial interview, you will be instructed to
- Get fingerprinted by Live Scan Fingerprint Services
- Qualify with your weapon(s)
- Complete the state-mandated firearms safety course"
There are also fees involved. Its $20 non refundable just for the application process. If you're approved its $95 for the 2yr. permit. Then its $80 more to be actually issued the permit. I didnt check renewal fees.
Sounds like some of you guys have it pretty easy compared!
