My initial interview was after they started requiring good cause. I haven't been up for review yet. Interviewer required articles to prove shady business going on in those areas. easy enough to find.

I'm trying to think how I will renew. I was initially approved AFTER policy 218 was reinstated, so I did have to establish GC, but documentation was not requested. My GC isn't something that would be easily or officially documented, plus confidentiality comes into play. If someone could pm me who wouldn't mind running through some ways to document my GC I would appreciate it. I have a little ways to go, but want to be prepared when the time comes, thanks.

Just submitted initial interview request. Will work on my GC centered around my work environment, a retail location that often is robbed by gunpoint for the high value products we carry. In fact I Googled it and found 5 this year. Just for my company not the competitors. Hope that will suffice.

As noted by others, the IA will certainly be contacting your employer to help assess the threat. Good luck. |

GC isn't a factor in my scenario. I get it. This is California. Who knows what twisted legislation is down the pike. |

PS one of these stores who got robbed in recent years was at one of my locations and at gunpoint. But thankfully I was not there. Thoughts? |

It seems like no one is posting their actual GC statement, so I didn't want to be the first. I am open to suggestions. My situation is simply self defense. I do not have any specific situation like death threats or transport large sums of money. I need something more generic. edit: Adding my actual statement. "FOR USE IN SELF DEFENSE OF PERSONAL AND FAMILY LIFE WHEN TRAVELING IN AREAS WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE TIME IS LIMITED." Last edited by magic7s; 11-28-2016 at 6:35 PM.. Reason: add gc |

My complete statement in its entirety is up thread and has been published over the WWW interwebs as an example. I do have extenuating circumstances, each applicant needs to articulate their own.

Having helped a number of people think through articulating why they feel that the financial and legal burden that come with carrying a concealed weapon, not to mention the need to be an ultra nice, non confrontational person I have found most (actually at this point all) actually have pretty good reason to carry. May I suggest you start by answering a few questions as a starter. I usually recommend three distinct reasons, with each about a paragraph in length. CCW Starter Questions What city do you work in? What city do you live in? What kind of work do you do? Do you work for someone or are you self-employed? Do you frequently travel inside the state for work where you have to stay in overnight lodging? Do you have an RV, Dirt Bike, Off Road Vehicle? Do you have a side business? Have you even been assaulted with a gun/knife/group of people? Do you currently or have you ever had a restraining order against someone?

Thank you! This is very helpful. I am not a great writer and have a hard time articulating my situation. These prompting questions help a lot. |

Just my $.02 and observation in seeing a recent reply here and a good friend that was denied. It seems that its not a full denial at time of interview for good cause that isn't sufficient. It seems the deputies are saying "Try again, revise this, try this verbiage and send it back".
You get another chance if the first one doesn't fly.

Filled out my application, gathered personal references letters and documentation to support good cause in Feb 2016. Emailed for interview appointment at OCSD and was surprised to be given date 5 months down the road!
Had interview in August 2016. Deputy was very kind and courteous. The interview consisted of reviewing the application for completeness. The Deputy gave my application an "A" grade for whatever that really means. No questions were asked about my statement for good cause. Most of the 30 minute interview time was spent watching the Deputy construct a folder with all of my documentation. I was advised that I would hear something by mid-November. In late November, I inquired by email about the status of my application. I was advised that my Livescan fingerprints that were taken on the day of my August interview (4 months previous) were still being processed by the DOJ. I contacted the DOJ through their automated phone system which reported that my Livescan fingerprints were still in process. I have had two other Livescan fingerprint checks in the past year that were processed in just a few days. This Livescan was marked as a CCW application. I wonder if the DOJ is exercising their anti-gun policies by delaying processing of fingerprints for CCW. Has anybody else experienced a delay in getting their fingerprint report from the DOJ for their CCW application? |

I am working the Del Mar Gun Show this weekend, so if you decide to send something earlier is better, or after the weekend. You can always call me at Packin' Fur Defense (I know an odd name for a concealed carry shop) |

Im resurrecting this to ask for a little help and avoid starting another new thread on the same subject. I was lucky enough to have my interview appointment moved up from November '17 to tomorrow. (YAY). I just wanted to see if anyone wouldn't mind proof reading my GC before I take it in tomorrow? Pm me if you think you could help me out. Thanks ahead of time.

Hello CG family,
My initial interview has been bumped up from late July, to mid May! I am now trying to get my GC statement in order. I manage a company that works with various precious metals, and a large portion of my job is transporting (in my own vehicle) very high value packages all around Southern California. I will have a statement from the owner of my company, as well as loads of documentation...I am just looking for any other insight some of you might have? Any holes I may have missed...? Thank you! |

Hello everyone,
I my appt. got moved up faster then i expected. I need to lock down my Good cause statement. I have read through some of this forum and a i have a question. I am a Land Surveyor, i was going to use my career as my GC statement. We carry valuable equipment with us all the time in very rural and Urban areas. We have had some stuff stolen from us already and fear that they could come after us. If i want to use it for my work, what exactly does my letter from my office need to say? Do i actually need one? |

The Officer responsible for the initial review of my file called me last week to ask for an employer letter that certifies everything work-related I put down on my GCS is true. I put together a simple letter (on company letterhead, he asked for this specifically) including a short statement certifying to that fact, copy and pasted everything work-related on my GCS onto the letter, then had my boss sign it. Good enough for him. They just want something from your work saying you actually do what you put down on GCS.

Howdy folks, seems like a lot of people have been having their appointments bumped ahead.
Mine did as well. It was originally in mid November, now it's in late July (four fricken months!). I'm working on my good cause and as a kid in college (not living on campus but at my parents' house until I graduate) there is not a whole lot to use. One significant event did happen a few years ago, long story short there was a man living with my dad and I in the RV in our side yard, he went coo-coo and trapped me and another roommate inside the house (he never got inside). He had a standoff with the police and was arrested (there was a helicopter, dozens of police, K9, etc.). He's out of jail and knows darn well who put him there and where I live (duh). He's never contacted me, but he snapped once so it can happen again. should I provide a police report of the event or just mention it and the interviewer will get the report? How do I even get a police report?

Copy that. Thank you! I live in a tiny town in OC so it was quite the hubbub when it happened.

Originally i had two good cause statements.
One related to self defense in regards to recent events in the area i live (scrupulous people hanging at the park down the street, a few burglaries..etc). My second good cause statement was related to my work. I am often in possession of valuables, checks, credit cards, lap top, two cellphones..etc. My investigator scratched off my self defense good cause and said the work one was a golden ticket.
