Can someone with current, relevant knowledge of good cause statements for San Mateo shoot me a PM? I do have some exceptional circumstances I think would be sufficient but would like to know for sure before I apply.

Good to know. Looking forward to living in San Mateo county. Thanks for the clarification.

Does the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office interview you the day you turn in your application or do they call you back another day for the interview? Also, do they fingerprint you the day you submit the application or does that happen on a different day?

Do you have to make an appointment with them or can you just walk right in? Thanks.

After the application is dropped off, do they give you a receipt showing that you submitted an application? What kind of questions do they ask you in the interview and how long does it last?

About how long, after submitting an application, does it take for them to schedule your interview?

3 weeks is surprising for just the initial phone call . . . I guess they must be flooded with applicants

What's going on everyone. I just moved to San Mateo from Florida. I have my CCW for Florida, and have had it for a couple of years now. I've been doing a lot of research into getting my CCW in California, and I think I have stumbled upon the correct place!
I'm having a hard time figuring out what a "good cause" is to obtain a CCW. Some people have mentioned that self defense is good enough. Others have said they are being overly strict about the definition of "good cause". And I've also seen the phrase "heightened cause" be thrown around a bit. I will say that I'm in not immediate danger. I have a cushy job as a software engineer in Redwood Shores. If I apply for a CCW here and list "self defense" as my reason, how far will I get? Also, does holding a Florida CCW offer any sort of merit here? I know it's not recognized as a valid CCW in California, but will it get me out of paying for a safety course or any of that? Thanks, and I look forward to being part of this fine community. |

The state of carry liscenses in California is not so great. Essentially the Sheriff of each county has full discretion on who to issue or not to issue to, with no oversight whatsoever. Also, you can not apply to anoyone above the Sheriff or appeal a decison without a lawsuit through the courts.
In San Mateo the Sheriff has chosen not to issue liscenses unless you have a "hightened risk" you won't get one. (yes, this term *is* arbritrary and undefined on purpose) I'm in the same boat you are in that I work a job at a software place, and have no direct or hightened cause, so under our current Sheriff I will not be issued a permit either. Look into the threads on LUCC (locked unloaded container carry) as that is as close as you will get. Be aware that there is no provisions preventing your employer from firing you if you carry to your place of employment and they find out about it. Also, your FL permit is not useful for anything in this state. It might be a good idea to keep it if you plan on vacationing outside the state. We've been working for years to change the state of how things work here and there are a few plans in progress right now. Head over to the politics forum (the parent of this one) and take a look... be aware that only about 1% of what is going on is made public... The court cases on carry in California were filed a few years ago and are making their way up the food chain. Eventually the current system will be struck down and replaced with something more sane, but it will be a while... Edited to add: Welcome to Calguns by the way. We aren't as gloomy as this post sounds, just the state of carry here is a sore spot for me. There are all kimds of cool things going on here and hopefully I'll run into you at a meeting or at the range sometime... Last edited by unusedusername; 08-08-2011 at 12:54 AM.. |

Well, thanks for the info. I'm shocked at how open this state is on some things (i.e. marijuana) and how close-minded it is about weapons. First, I had to leave my M4 Carbine back in Florida, then I had to get reduced mags for my Glock, and now I can't even get a CCW. Yet, within an hour I can legally purchase an ounce of pot. I'm so baffled.

Oh, I couldn't agree more. I just think it's strange since almost every other state is the exact opposite. I, for one, also support the legalization of marijuana...but I want to carry my weapon while I do it.

*buzz* wrong. Notice the lawsuit in Merced?

Gray,
Yes you are correct of course. There is oversight from the courts, just no non-court involving appeals process for denials. The current wave of lawsuits are exactly the thing we need to get us moving in the right direction. I apologize for my pessimism, I should avoid posting to calguns at 2am while grumpy. I very much appreciate the huge amount of work you have been doing for us even though you live out of state. |

thanks for sharing
I am in the process of getting my application filled out... I will be very interested in how things go for you... having lived in S M co. for the past 40 yrs, it is sure encouraging to see some change and hope... I always feel so great when I cross the border into Oregon going to my place in Washington... it feels great to have that pistol on my waist! ...wishing you success!

IMHO, it depends on who the employer is or what position the applicant holds.
It could be very relevant. We're not in a "shall issue" environment. Quote:

Unless there's a rubber stamp just cause statement that is accepted by SM County, the applicant can decide... Twist away.

The way it sounded to me was that it wouldn't hurt to have, not that "wink wink, if your boss says you're good to go we'll think so too". Either way, my boss knows anyway and doesn't care so it won't be a problem for me to obtain.

It's happening now. I refused to give San Mateo what they wanted. at the time they didn't even want to give me an application. I look forward to seeing them have to buckle to the law and not their own ways. Giving them what they want when it's not required is only reenforcing their ideas to make it hard on all of us to get a LTC.
NOT ONE INCH!! |
