you must be referring to the whole process of livescan in conjunction with FBI & DOJ background check. Yes that process takes about 60 days or more depending upon when they submit it and how long it takes for the proper authorities to verify and reply[and I believe it's done snail mail because they need and keep it for their files at the SBSD]. Yes, I think they have records/hard copies on each one of us in their offices. Please note that I'm inferring/pre-supposing; someone else in the know would have more concrete info. I do know they gather as much info as possible not only from your references but from people who are recommended by the folks you have on your app. Hang tight; if you are of good character and morales with good cause you will probably get it ... patience ... patience ... and ????? And I've heard it's easier to obtain in OC; I'm in San Bernardino County; and I was told SB was pro CCW.
