They laminate it for you at the sheriff's office when you pick it up. Bring your wallet with you and they'll trim it to fit.

Thanks, I was under the impression that the permit was a lot bigger than a standard ID slot.

Can anyone tell me the measurements of the San Joaquin County permit? Shopping around for a new wallet to hold permit, ID, and a couple of credit cards. What do you guys use to hold your permit? Thanks

Compared to a CC, about 1/8" wider and 1/4" taller.
I use a 3 fold wallet. It goes in with my business cards in the middle fold on the money side.....

Congratz Infidel! All in, in less than a year! Progress!

Congratulations, Infidel! I got my call from Ivan on 11/15 saying it was moving up the chain so I should be real close to getting my email notice of approval. I am taking the class Friday at Best Handgun, probably in the rain. How was the drive home at 2230, after the long day starting at 0730?

I didnt mind the drive and thought it was worth it because it was a great class.And I preferred to just get it done all in one day.

This is Fidel, sorry you didnt enjoy or learn anything from us. In over 3 years, we havent received ONE negative feedback. Perhaps you wouldnt mind sending me an email with your constructive criticism. I know you cant realistically please everyone, but I do try!

I had my renewal certification with Spartan Defense today. Great class as usual with Fidel. Don't see what problems you complainers have with him.

[Calidiver]

Apparently some people do. At the risk of being maligned like Kokanee was I will say this: In this area, I have taken training classes from Valley Defense Consulting, Gray Ops, and Spartan Defense. I would take classes again (and have) from Valley Defense and Gray Ops, and I would recommend both Valley Defense and Gray Ops to anyone. That's all I will say about that.

I'll respond one last time.
Sorry, not "trolling" him one bit.
A troll would have a recent forum join date as well as very few posts if any.

One note I will make in regards to the reason I took a basic handgun class. I should not have to address this, but every instructor I have ever used has required all new students to start from the bottom, I wouldn't ask a instructor to do it any differently.
If spartan accepts other instruction classes to allow students to start out taking intermediate or advanced classes, well, all the more reason I am happy using other instructors.

The consensus of our group of 5 was, we did not feel safe. Shame on us, and shame on me for voicing my opinion.

If you guys feel safe and like spartans instruction, good for you, that is your choice!

Have a great day!

I agree, take as many different styles, classes as possible, I DO! There are instructors I have thought were garbage and some I really enjoyed. I am not naive enough to think 100% of my students will like me or my style. For one, I have been in the ****, so I teach from a more realistic mindset than most. Ill take 98% but keep striving for that 100%. Sorry you feel we failed you!
