Has anyone here been approved for or renewed their CCW while unemployed? My renewal is coming up in a few months and I'm probably going to quit my job so that I can go back to school.

Probably if your GC has to do with your employment.

GC (personal protection) isn't changing - just employment status. I figure it probably won't be an issue especially since I'm renewing, but I'd rather hold on to my renewal money if that isn't the case.

In that case, IMHO you're GTG.

Been reading through the pages but does unemployment effect your new application? Would like to apply but currently unemployed at the moment. Thanks!

Hi All. I just moved to Monterey County. Im curious if anyone has any updates in regards to processing times or if GC requirements changed in any way since this was last updated? From what im reading here, it appears the county operates similar to "shall issue".

I am going to the DMV in the next few days to formally change my address, and then apply accordingly.

Thanks for any info!

mrowner,

Yes, Monterey County is basically shall issue. That is, as long as the current sheriff is in office. I would recommend you apply ASAP. My understanding is the process is about two or three months. Make sure you have all the guns that you want to add to your permit before you apply. Do your training with either 831 shooter or Tremper. Definitely do Tremper if you need more shooting instruction. If you are confident in your ability to handle your weapons, either is fine. Dave puts on a great class at 831 shooter, but there is no shooting instruction in the CCW class.

Good luck, Let us know how it goes!

Much appreciated for the info Peloncito. Will apply ASAP and update accordingly.

Will probably end up trying 831 shooter as I am proficient with firearms. Thank you for the tips!

Hi. Is the renewal completed online only? Or is there an in person part as well?

Online, but you do have to go in and pick your permit up in person.

Sheriff is now issuing CDL-like CCW permits!

An inside source asked me to share the following:

”Monterey is issuing CCW cards now. All they have to do is request replacement. You want the card as it has new [fewer, but more general] restrictions (i.e., it’s better).”

An inside source asked me to share the following:

Hello Paladin,

CCW cards... is that a new thing? If so can you briefly explain how they are different? Thanks

Yep, it's new. Monterey County has been issuing a paper CCW permit (that is the size of two wallet-sized cards) up until now. If what Paladin says is true, they will begin issuing a wallet-sized plastic CCW permit card. It would be much more robust and easier to carry in a wallet.
