Ccw in Fresno. Fresno City vs Fresno county
These are all universal requirements in California for obtaining a CCW permit and do not vary between City and County level permits. Now let's address the difference between the two permit levels. A county permit is good for the entire county of residence with some reciprocity between other counties in the state, however a city permit is usually only good in the city it's issued with little to no reciprocity even in the county it's issued. For example a Fresno county permit is usually recognized by the surrounding counties law enforcement and is not an issue to have during a routine traffic stop in another county however a Fresno city CCW is only good inside the city limits of Fresno and may not be recognized by even county officials when leaving town. This can be an issue in this semi-metro area where a good number of the more affluent suburbs are actually on county land or in other cities entirely. You could run the very real risk of obtaining a legal CCW for where you work or live but be committing a serious felony simply crossing the street. This is why I usually push people to look at a county permit because it's the closest to a state wide permit available to residents of California.
Read this from this site: http://highsierragear.blogspot.com/2...other-day.html Is this true? Thinking about getting a ccw and from this it looks like county is way to go. Newbie here so be nice. |

Ccw in Fresno. Fresno City vs Fresno county
No, it's not true. It's complete bovine feces. It's a statewide license.
You can ask some Fresnites about the specifics of city vs county in terms of which process moves faster; I believe the City of Fresno does issue, unlike many cities, IIRC, but the county may have a quicker process. Not sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

^^ right ^^
Issuing agencies issue LTC under state Penal Code provisions; it is indeed a statewide license, unless it's the almost-never-issued 'open carry' license, or the issuing agency places limits on the face of the license; no one has yet reported here that an issuing agency has placed a geographical limitation, but I suppose that's possible.

Both are pretty backlogged right now, but both appear to not be overly picky like certain bay area counties. I know plenty of "average guys/gals(including myself)" who have CCW's from both. Not at the same time, of course lol. Do be advised that if you live in the city the Sheriff's Department wants you to go through the city.

Someone ought to post a comment over there on that High Sierra Gear Junkies blog that debunks that guy's FUD. I'd do it if I could find my attention span.

City permit will be alot faster through, so it depends on how long you wanna wait for a ccw permit. Fresno City is weeks and Fresno County is months

Fresno City doesn't interview your neighbors. They ask for 5 non family references. City has a few different restrictions than county but nothing major. Like City you can have 3 guns on your permit, while County you can have 4. City initial interview is usually within a couple weeks, but the process still takes about 6 months. Ray and Ed are awesome to deal with. I heard County guys are cool to, but process is almost a year.

I don't have anything to hide. I have two young kids and they play with alot of the neighbor kids. My wife is afraid that their parents will hesitate letting them come over and play if they know. It doesn't really worry me , but gotta keep the wife happy.

You do a lot of worrying.
Just start the process and get it over with. Thousands of people go through the CCW permiting process withour incident. The blogger you quote from in the first post is an idiot and should not be posting such trash. Bottom line. 1 - CCW in California, whether issued by a city or county, is good state wide no matter how the other counties feel about it. So you can carry in SF or LA and there ain't **** they can do about it. 2 - I would not worry much about the neighbor interviews if they in fact do them. It is unlikely that they disclose to the neighbors the reason for the questioning. You could simply tell them it is a background check for a super secret mission you are working on.

There are only two major differences between FPD and Sheriff's office. Either permit is valid throughout the state of California from San Ysidro to Yreca.
1. FPD allows for 3 firearms at one time vs. Sheriff's allow up to 4. 2. FPD requires that you notify the LEO during traffic violation stops that you have a CCW. This is true for ANY traffic stop ANYWHERE in the state (SF, LA, etc.) Sheriff Mims, on the other hand, takes the stance that a traffic stop is a traffic stop and not a firearm violation; and you are not mandated to notify the officer. |

Any recent CCW recipients? what's the current time frame for issue in Fresno right now?
I know that the longer I wait to apply the longer it will take, thing is I don't know where I will be in a year, maybe in Socal, maybe outside the state.

Friend of mine got his through the city in May. His first phone call was December 1 of last year. I heard the county is longer than that. Got mine 5 years ago took a month and a half, before the mad rush.

About 6-8 months. YMMV, time estimates on these issues are difficult to peg. The major wait time is setting your first appointment. After your first meeting, the follow-up is quick. You then have to wait on DOJ processing. You can call and see when next available appointment (559) 488-3083. Leave a message and they will call you back. I believe they have brought on a few people to specifically help with CCW applications fairly recently as well.

FPD questioned my cousin's neighbors. Did not mention him, did not mention CCW. They asked if there was anything going on in the neighborhood they should know about, and if there were any characters to keep their eyes on. This was 2 years ago.

When I got mine they did interview neighbors. 3 of them I know of. All are cops so they knew what it was about, but the questions were short and they never mentioned what the permit was for. I just went in today to get an amended license after adding a gun and the place was packed. When I got mine at first it was just Ed. Now there is Ray and 4 admin assistants. They are working their tails off. I was a little paranoid about the neighbor interviews, but its nothing to worry about. As for the first post, its been said already but sheesh, thats some bad FUD. My city license is a state wide license.

Ed Torres is the man at Fresno City for CCW issuance and his words to me were that he didn't care how many you listed. He'd type up and an addendum sheet if necessary.
