I've waited to apply at Solano because I thought I'd be getting a job in Sacramento and moving soon (but it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon). So, I'm going to apply to Solano Sheriff but I want to make sure my GC statement is as good as I can make it before I do so.

Btw, since I got approved for the next step, does this mean that my GC is good, or do I still have to worry about that? |

What I'm interested in knowing is what the GC statements from recently approved Calgunners look like. Most have nothing to go on other than elaborated versions of self defense (which is my situation as well). I'm keenly interested in specifically what they said. Edit: I checked the good cause statements again at the beginning of this thread; they haven't been updated since the last time I looked. As I stated a few months ago the vast majority of them are Corrections Officers, former MIL or LEO, etc. The few "average joe" ones were so heavily redacted I'm not sure how much they elaborated on their situations. (Several were business/work related but I don't have that to help me). Again, I'm asking any Calgunner who has recently been accepted in Solano County to PM me their GC statement. Please remove your name or specifics that could identify you but I'd like to see what your elaborated self defense statement looks like. I'm not planning to copy word for word but I sure could use your guy's help in crafting mine. Thanks.

Just got back from Livescan. While I was there I heard someone else come in asking for an application. Wonder if it was a Calgunner.
@ Critically Stressed / 97F1504RAD, I hear you guys. I was in the same position not too long ago. keep in mind I'm not too sure if I'm out of the woods yet. I don't really know if passing the first step means my GC is good, or if it will still come into question later. |

I'm going to apply but I need to pickup my CCW gun first so I can put its S/N on the application, but I can't pick up the gun until after I get back from Front Sight in a couple of weeks. Too much to do!

I heard that Paulatte Duclair, the Sheriff's admin secretary, has retired. She played a major role in reviewing / processing the CCW apps, so it may impact or have impacted their turnaround. Just speculating.

Thanks all for your comments, I'm going to proceed with crafting my GC statement. I'd like you all to chime in with your opinions on the following though:
On one section of the app. it asks if you have/had and CCW's issued by another agency. I've had Washington and Idaho permits for the last 10 years, both of which are still valid. Is it a good or bad idea to list those on the application and/or refer to them in my GC statement as evidence that I understand the responsibility and am familiar with carrying a weapon for self defense? (I used to live in those states previously and carried 24/7 for years).

Just my humble opinion, but I don't think out of state ccw's would hurt. I would imagine it would help. Just answer everything honestly, cuz everything they ask you, they can pretty much find out on their own anyway.
BTW, Once I get the notification to schedule my training I plan on buying a new gun. I asked Debra and she said I can still change the guns on my app before I turn in the targets, so I wouldn't let the lack of a prefered carry gun stop you from turning your app in. |

Thanks, that's encouraging. I guess I'm just a "not till the fat lady sings" kinda guy.

I figured it couldn't hurt but I wanted to hear what you guys thought. I'm going to try and start the DROS on a Glock 30 today (I should be able to get the S/N when I do the paperwork, regardless of when I pick it up). I've also got to supply a utility bill according to the process listed on the Solano Sheriff's website (have to get that tonight). So at the earliest, I can submit my app tomorrow via certified mail (the documentation Brandon asked us to have so that we can "prove" it was submitted). I welcome further comments and advice.

I'm the same way (really trying not to get my hopes up before I even apply).

Well I pulled the trigger today and sent my application in (via Guaranteed Delivery USPS with tracking and delivery receipt, just in case).
I appreciate those of you who gave me positive feedback on my GC statement. I hope to hear back from the new gal Debbie soon about proceeding to the next step.

Thanks Ronin, I'm glad to hear she's not an unknown factor then. I hope to get a call from her sometime in the next 30 days or so .

I'll let Purple K, Runin Ronin or someone else elaborate on the nacho thing. I've got CRS, can't remember s... Runin Ronin jogged my memory, it had to do with WalMart nachos. |

Here's my understanding... The Walmart nachos "ritual" started on another forum. Upon receiving your CCW, you head on over to Walmart, walk around and purchase nachos to eat. Why nachos? not really certain but, the reason Walmart is chosen is because there is usually a Walmart near you and Walmart is always full of people.
I believe the reasoning is to relieve a new CCW holders fear or concern of "printing" in public. You walk around a well populated Walmart and you realize "no one is paying any attention to you", you are walking around eating your nachos with a loaded firearm on your hip and... no one can care less about you. That's how I interpret the Walmart Nachos "ritual". I will be at my local Walmart tonight... I'll be the one walking around... shopping |

kennmark, did you check all the phone numbers you listed on your application? SO left a message on my home voicemail (which I never check) and also left one on my office (which I got the following day). No calls to my cell where I was expecting the call since that's the number they always called me on to proceed with the next steps.

Incorrect. I am not an LEO nor do I own my own business. Just a normal Joe with a Good Cause that the Sheriff agreed with.

Same for me. I don't own a business or am LEO. I just explained why I felt the need for self defense in detail. This county is actually pretty fair as far as "shall issue", from what I've seen anyway.
