Thanks for posting this. Had my interview last week. Guess it's time to settle in and wait. How long after your interview did they call your references?

They call as soon as you leave. They will tell you to text those people to give them a heads up.

Other than the 3 gun limit on the CCW, really happy with my experience getting and renewing my CCW here in San Berdoo. Fortunately, my renewal came after they finally got through the delays caused by the IT issues a couple of years ago so it got processed on time. I'm glad to see them getting back closer to normal.

How was the training? How far did they want you to shoot from? You did the training both days in San Bernardino? Or elsewhere

The San Bernardino live fire test is 5 rounds, reload, 5 rounds at a standard B-29 target from 5 yards. 8/10 shots must be within the 7 ring.

Thank you, if fail what happens?

Most trainers ask you to do some training/practice and come back to reshoot.

You get a third round of five shoots if you miss the number the first two times. After that you need to make another appointment to shoot.

 

[losbarajasinc]

And they have you shoot each gun you put on the list? Correct? If there is 3

Good luck! I need to renew later this year, so i hope they get caught up printing the cards by then. I received my renewed card the day mine expired last time.
