In case you live in Stanislaus County and were thinking of trying to get a CCW per their website "Due to staffing shortages,NEW CCW permit applications are not being accepted until further notice. We will continue to renew CCW permits providing your current permit has not expired."

I'm sympathetic to their budget problems, but I'm not sure they can legally refuse to accept applications. They could take a really long time to process like Ventura and some other counties.

That's exactly what thought when I heard this.

I believe they have 90 days to aprove or deny permit... friend went in to add gun to permit, they said thier swamped...

Without editorializing or otherwise commenting, I do have it on good authority that the staff responsible for CCW's has been reduced, and their workload has skyrocketed, apart from the reduced staff.

Actually, there are parts of this that are positive. Workload has gone up because the sheriff is taking over CCW issue from some jurisdictions that were virtually non-issue.

Me three.

"Due to staffing shortages,NEW CCW permit applications are not being accepted until further notice."

How many people does it take?!
Form filled out....check. Fingerprint taken....check. Training completed....check. Fee paid....check.
Send it in...."Thankyou. If your background check comes back clear, your card will be in the mail soon."
How long did that take?

Well, it's not that simple, even in a virtually "shall-issue" county, and Stanislaus is not a virtually "shall-issue" county.

Then that's their Sheriff's own fault. It's no excuse to whine and burden the public with the problem they don't care to alleviate. IMO they're going about the solution to the problem the wrong way.

FYI the moratorium is over, and has been for some time. They are accepting and processing new applications. Their staff, however, is majorly buried, so be patient and thoughtful.

Make SURE the course you take is one that Stanislaus County S.O. will accept. There is a person giving classes locally, to a LOT of people, whose classes they will NOT accept. In Stanco you take the course first.

You do need a good GC in Stanislaus County (Work with CCWI), but they do issue.

The stats posted here are years out of date. I'm working on getting updated info.
