They need to hurry it up, they should be on at least #1,000 in the queue

Required re-qualify at the one year mark still in place?

If this is still the case, it will clog up the initial issue system won't it?

Not looking forward to getting back into this system again.

Now seven or eight months in and really not seeing the progress as it should be.

Seems this re-qualify is a extra cost that was not supposed to be allowed.

Why wouldn't CRPA at least question this and amend the original letter to the ACSO that got some action?

Please email them mentioning the issues. Enough complaints will help in getting Alameda back on the radar and move them closer to the front of action. CRPA, through the attorney provided a satisfactory response to my complaint. While not perfect, it shows they have a strategy. Keep the pressure on as the squeaky wheel thing.

I just submitted my application in Alameda County on 10/6/23. I know it?s going to be a long wait. The person who teaches CCW classes at my club recommended doing my livescan right away to shorten the wait. Has anyone done this in Alameda County, and would you recommend it?

Also, I had a dui about 35 yeas ago that I put down under section 7; question 6- list any arrests or formal charges. I didn?t put it under section 2; question 9- have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense. Should I amend my application to include it there as well?

I heard back from Judea yesterday. I applied on August 2 2022 and I am 1019 in the queue. She said they are still working on 800-850.

This is interesting. So you applied 8/2/22 and you are 1019 in the queue, I applied 8/7/22 and I am 901 in the queue (according to Judea). I wonder if their queue is screwed up lol.

My only concern would be if a person's LiveScan has an "expiration" in the Alameda CCW application process. We are at 13 months since applying and still waiting to be contacted. It would suck to pay the money and then find out we have to do it again because the original scan is now too old.

That may be why they changed the order of livescan and interviews. New applicants do their livescans after the interview.

Yeah, that doesn't sound right but maybe they gave me the wrong queue number. Today, I received email to schedule my livescan. I was offered this Saturday but I am down in Mexico until next Wednesday. I scheduled my scan for 10/28. So I am now in the game.

[dugiepts66]

Was queue # 855. Got the email from Judea yesterday to schedule the livescan. Grabbed Oct 14th. She will email next steps upon completion of the livescan process.

Looks like they've adjusted to have livescan come before the interview (or maybe this is person/application dependent)?

Just got approval to begin training/qualification. I never got my exact application number but it was around 800 or so.

Here's been my timeline:
7/22/2022 Application
8/4/2023 Interview
9/1/2023 LiveScan
9/9/2023 LiveScan Complete
9/28/2023 Psych. Eval.
10/9/2023 Approved for Training

Now I've been hoping to get a CA-approved P365XL for EDC but that's still going to be a while before anything is added to the roster. I presume rather than wait, it's better just to keep progressing with the training/qual with my current gun, get the license, and then just go through whatever additional qualifications are needed for adding a new one later...

Meanwhile, here is the list of training vendors they approved as of 10/9:

Really, you applied July 2023, and received an interview and in Aug 2023?

Typo from the spreadsheet - corrected it to 2022.
