    Either way, it's a new show but right now it states no less than 8 or more than 16 on the PC. And only the ASCO qualifies you which is another 2 to 6-hour day depending on where you live. Either way paying $800+ for 2 years is not affordable. And to renew 2 years add another $325 or more. $1,125 4year combined permit after reviewing the training and permit costs you described. Hope they don't make everyone retake the new course they should be grandfathered what they have in the permit system.



    Reference PC [26150 - 26225]

    I just went by the Guns and Stuff website. Their website says the 16 hour class is the one for Alameda County

    "CCW Classes – Dublin, CA
    Two-Day, 16 Hour Weekend California & Multi-state CCW Course
    Location: Dublin Guns, Fishing and Other Stuff
    This is the class for Alameda, Napa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Calaveras, Amador, El Dorado, Yolo, Placer, San Mateo, Contra Costa* and Nevada Counties, and the City of Napa."

    But it also says this
    "CCW Classes- Vacaville, CA
    8 Hour California CCW Permit Classes
    Location: Vacaville Guns, Fishing, and Other Stuff
    This 8 hour California CCW course is approved for Solano, Alameda, City of Napa, Placer, El Dorado, Calaveras, Amador, and Nevada Counties."

    So they are saying the 8 hour Vacaville class is approved for Alameda County and so is the the Dublin 16 hour class. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me if t he class are based on number of hours but I signed up for the Dublin one.


    I have no other actual info about what is actually required.

Received email from ALCO on 7/21 stating they received my app and are in the process of scheduling an interview, also stated I will receive an additional email with more information regarding the interview process. We'll see what happens.
    I believe that ACSO's requirement was 16 hours even before the anticipated passing of SB918, which will make it 16 hours statewide?

    Although I have not applied yet, I signed up for the 16 hour training at Guns and Stuff in Dublin. My class is this weekend. They were very specific about what to bring. They want an OWB holster, mag pouches, and a cover shirt or jacket. They want full-size or compact guns (no super short pocket guns).

    I suppose after the training you can do what you want in terms of holsters.

    After my interview, livescan, psych eval...then I was instructed to take the course. Again, this was with the previous CCW app procedure...just an FYI...
    There's a slight possibility that the whole procedure has changed, it might be worth waiting a bit IMO.

    Hey Vinnie where did you go for the 16 hour course?? I'm also in the Bay Area and would like to take a class. Is there any additional info needed when looking for a course?

    I think the ACSO 30-day delay was to stall for SB 1327 & SB 918 to be signed or close to it to push everyone post SCOTUS ruling out of 90-day rights to issue or deny.


    When a person applies for a new or renewal should include what you got on the books when you applied with the current law but I think ACSO will force me and anyone else to take it over adding the written test on the materials. SB 1327 helps them because a lawsuit would force you to pay the court and attorney fees.

    My concern is, if I take the training course now, will the training course be considered stale by the time ACSO is ready to issue the CCW license? Given government bureaucracy + intentional roadblocks + a new incoming Sheriff who may decide to do things differently, a lead time of over one year may not be surprising.

    Yep, that means they can go back to denying people and forcing you to sue find a lawyer than pay 1 million in attorney and court costs. The only mistake is the law he signed is unconstitutional and will be struck down in the next 5 months or 2 years.
    Hopefully even sooner than that, SCOTUS runs S*** but this state and especially this county are hard headed and don't get that .
